I've owned/used lots of laptops (both my own & from work).

When I tried windows laptops in recent times I searched for the best ones in my size range - both times they were dells (last one is a 2015 XPS 13) & in both I've paid close to apple-level prices (the xps was €2400 IIRC) and yet I had to have both repaired within about a year of buying. With the xps it was just after the 1 year mark which meant I had to pay several €100s for a screen replacement.

This never happened to me with a MacBook pro despite having used a lot more of these than I have PC laptops (which were supposed to be high-end laptops).

For what it's worth I don't care about OS - my main computer is an iMac I duelboot Mac & Win via boot camp.
