I have a Framework 13 personal laptop and a work-provided MacBook Pro. I'd put them at about the same level when it comes to build quality: the Framework doesn't feel quite as streamlined (it's still very sleek!), while the MacBook has developed a finicky USB-C port that can't be easily repaired. Both of those issues come down to the design tradeoffs the two companies have made.

If you'd run Asahi anyways, seriously consider a Framework. You'll get much more for your money, and they have people on staff dedicated to providing a good Linux experience.
