They've often been on par with competitors tbh.

The X1 Carbon isn't much cheaper than a Macbook Air and ditto for Dell XPS vs Macbook Pro. The Macs have better build quality usually, but the PCs would get better specs. RAM, at least.

The Galaxy S series stars in the same range as iPhones do, though you get a better screen. But in the Ultra and Pro Max versions the screens trade blows and the iPhone is apparently cheaper.

When I was last comparing laptops a few years back I was seriously leaning towards the Framework AMD. It was clearly a tradeoff between Apple's displays, trackpad, lid hinges, CPU/GPU benchmarks, and battery life, versus much more built in memory and storage, a tall display form factor, and better Linux support. Price was kinda a wash, as I was just comparing what I could get for $1500 at the time. I ended up with an Apple again, in the end. I'm keeping an eye on progress with the Asahi project, though, and might switch OSes soon.

I'm exactly the same, if I was getting a new laptop I'd be completely torn between Framework and Apple, the polar opposites. Part of me wants freedom, upgradability, repairability... And part of me wants a super high quality aluminum body, a trackpad so good you don't even need a mouse, and whatever magic they do to make their screens look so good even if some PCs have higher resolutions nowadays.
