Ditto on Apple hardware, I used them from around 2003 until about 2016, I was an imac and ipad fan. Now I use an alienware X17, after several other alienware laptops, its modular to an extent, but there are some things not ideal, I just had to change from Windows 11 to Ubuntu to remove a vulnerability that I think was being used by an unknown attacker to blue screen it, usually just as I was writing in Medium, isn't that weird? I've been using Ubuntu Studio now for a couple of weeks and have to improvise some of my old Windows tools to make them work with it, but all in all it has done what is needed, no more blue screens, whereas there were times before when it would blue screen every few minutes. The biggest eye opener is the difference in machine load for graphics intensive games, it used to run at max temperature (100 degrees C), whereas now with the same game load it sits at around 70 degrees C, a massive difference, and no clipping of processor loads etc so no compromise on performance.

Have you thought about moving to Ubuntu or other form of linux?
