I'm with you. I was briefly a Mac user in the very early days on an SE/30 then owned Macs from the Bondi Blue iMac onwards. My 2012 Mac mini was fantastic when new with a quad i7 and 16 GB of RAM but newer machines are showing it up so I decided recently to upgrade, and go back to laptops. Nothing Apple are offering looks attractive sadly, and I've fallen out of love with macOS too. It's too closely tied to iCloud and online services. I use Linux at work and have a Dell XPS 13, which I really like so after a bit of hunting I found a refurb 9370 model - 8th gen i7, 16GB, 512GB SSD, matte screen with none of that glossy touch nonsense for £1000 exactly. Comes on Wednesday, can't wait!
