For the record, I use Mac and I like it that way.

Eh. Sublime and vagrant run on windows and the machines are better value than Macs.

I'll stick to a windows host with Linux rather than feed Apple ridiculous money for dongles that do shit that should be built in. Multiple display port out and a built in ethernet cable or death - I actually need a laptop that's portable.

I just checked and it looks like the latest MacBook Pro has a single hdmi port and three USB-C ports... so I've got my power cable, my mouse, my keyboard, and my ethernet cable dongle... already at negative one ports. Then I've got two monitors on display port to somehow cram into a single hdmi port - and apparently the processor only supports a single external monitor unless you get the MacBook Pro Pro or MacBook Pro Max... that's impressively shit.

All for 4,649 CAD - I can buy so many more ports on PC with a ridiculous amount of power for 4.5 thousand. I don't mind spending my employer's money, but I want to spend it on shit that's useful for me.

You do you, boo. I like my Mac and it suits my needs perfectly. The cost difference is a mere drop in the bucket for my org.

You do, you boo is very much not the sentiment of your meme - and if I'm asking my company for a 4k+ CAD laptop I want one with a sufficient number of ports. My complaints are primarily focused on the fact that Macs are simply poorly designed machines these days, in the PC market I can still get a laptop that hooks up to multiple monitors without needing to lug around multiple dongles.
