Actually everything is soldered on the motherbord on the macbook. Even the wifi card and ssd. And to be fair more and more laptops are like that. I have a macbook pro m2 from work and a personal asus laptop. And the asus is alot faster. So no, I don't think you gain anything from a macbook. Also it has 2 ports, both usb c so you need dongles or docking station. Also also, a pc can be upgraded with everything you need/want. But everything except ram and ssds are overpriced there too. So a really shit timeline either way... Everyone but big companies win, so don't be a fanboy and research before you buy.
If your MacBook Pro has only 2 ports it means it’s the base model 13 inch M2, which is basically an MBA with fans.
No kidding your Asus is faster.
But your Asus battery will be dead in 3 years while mine will still be as good as new.
That and a bunch of other things like the quality of the chassis that doesn’t crack, the quality of the screen, the sound system, the reliability of macOS, etc.
But I get that as a PC user all you care about is raw power…
