No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple's anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can't even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don't even own it.

I own a MacBook Air now but prior to that I've used thinkpad, dell xps, Asus zenbook and hp envy lineups.

If i were to ditch MacBook I'd have picked up a zenbook since they're budget friendly, great oled screen, long battery life, lightweight and good build quality. You can even do casual gaming on it.

The biggest thing i miss switching to mac has been losing my steam library and unable to play games with my friends.

I own recent OLED Zenbook and it's super creaky squeaky, plus, the screen unglued itself from the frame. The build quality isn't very good I'd say.
