OP actually says it's the best laptop, not the computer, or even laptop, with the most powerful compute.

I dont see the word 'best' is not in their post at all, stop paraphrasing as it looses the original meaning. These are the quotes since you seem to keep mis reading them:

> the devices are now actually far superior

> Apple buyers are now people who just want a bloody powerful laptop

> The power buyers

And my point is that its not the laptop with the most powerful compute, which is true. so what are you getting at?

You are correct that the word "best" doesn't appear, but this was their meaning. These laptops are superior - you cannot buy anything better from another vendor at any price, period. The gap will likely close, but it's a fair comment to make today.

> These laptops are superior - you cannot buy anything better from another vendor at any price, period

And so the Apple marketing magic has worked on you too.

'Good' is subjective, however I assure you there are faster and more powerful laptops on the market.

I use an Android phone by preference. There are faster and more powerful laptops on the market, but they are not better, and calling some of them laptops at all is a bit of a stretch. Apple have a vertical that is very difficult to compete with when it comes to overall quality. People aren't just buying them because they've all been hoodwinked by clever marketing.

> And my point is that its not the laptop with the most powerful compute, which is true. so what are you getting at?

You don't see that the point which you are arguing ("that its not the laptop with the most powerful compute") is not actually in conflict with any of those quotes?

I hope that the OP is so very grateful for you coming to their aid in making sure that their post doesnt get misunderstood. You are very valliantly continuing to push to make sure I see clearly the error of my misunderstandings.
