Microsoft seriously needs to develop the Windows 11 Deluxe Edition if they are to sell machines at this cost.
Not to be Microsoft apologist, but this doesn’t make logical sense. Should MS not make laptops because they’re not Apple laptops? Which you can get from Apple as you should if you want one?
I'm clearly part of the target market for this thing. But they think they can appeal to me by making the laptop look like a MacBook Pro. MacBook Pro isn't bad, but there is plenty of room to innovate in looks and port selection.
What isn't nearly good enough is Windows 11. I'm not buying a car just because it looks like some other car if all the seats have been replaced with liquid poo. The problem isn't that the mirror has a different curvature. It's that the internals are filled with liquid poo.
And Microsoft needs to fix Windows 11.

Honestly, you are not. They target Windows developers, especially those who develop using CUDA for AI and other purposes.
Its looks has nothing to do with it, you don't get CUDA on macOS and I think you're showing a bit of "Apple arrogance" here, with all respect.
This sounds insane to a Mac user.
