My work beater for the last year, the HP elitebook rip off (dev one) IT bought me has a horrible screen but is the best laptop I've used because it is an overcharged beater that plugs into a triple monitor setup at home and a double monitor setup at work.
Yes Macbook was a steaming pile of shit between 2016 - 2020.
But my Dell Precision laptop (same price) was an even worse piece of shit.
Can't beat the display quality on Macbook.
