They're a tad overpriced, but unmatched imo. Any other laptop that can match them with build quality tends to cost a lot of money anyway so the Apple tax argument is a moot point. I used to detest OSX but you get used to it and I think it's a better OS tbh. I use a mechanical keyboard on my desktop and I don't mind using my laptop's keyboard, so that should give you an idea of how good Apple's keyboards are. The trackpad is also unmatched in my experience. TLDR they're overpriced but are the best laptops all around imo. If I didn't have a desktop to game on maybe it would be a different story, but I have a gaming desktop.
