Bout as delicate as most laptops. A bit more than a high end business laptop, but much less than a consumer one.
But yes, it’s got less freedom of choice than competitors. Linux is meh and Windows doesn’t exist anymore.
Edit: I’m a moron and didn’t clarify. On Apple Silicon laptops Linux is meh. Because of poor driver support. Windows doesn’t exist anywhere though. It’s dead to me. Never installing it again if I can help it. I don’t actually dislike Linux, I’ve been using it on and off since 2009 and full time since 2020 lol
Ok It seems I’ve misread your train of thought initially. I thought you meant Linux in general is meh (and windows doesn’t exist anymore=> because well W11 sure ain’t windows as it used to be). My bad.
Ah yeah I wasn’t very clear. Yeah, I most definitely meant that in the context of Apple laptops, Linux is meh (in terms of actual usability) and Windows doesn’t exist.
Though to be fair - you’re right in that Windows doesn’t exist to me anymore outside of that ecosystem either. My gaming PC has been running Linux full time since around 2020 - Kubuntu for a few months, then Gentoo for about 3 years, then OpenSuse Tumbleweed for the last 1.5 years. Laptop right now is NixOS, since I sold my M1 Macbook Air and am running a Thinkpad for not-at-home development work till I can get my hands on an M5 Pro MBP or something. I do prefer to have access to both Linux and MacOS for some reason.
I’ve actually been on and off Linux since Karmic Koala, but it took till about 2020 to realize gaming has gotten so good with Proton that I don’t need a Windows install at all.

“Linux is meh”
Sounds like a you problem.
Have you been able to get it working properly on Apple Silicon? Because my Linux experience on it has been meh.
On my X86 computers it works great.
