There are absolutely better alternatives. Ubuntu 18 with Gnome (or any other modern Linux) + modern laptops with intel/nvidia work fantastic. Plenty of good aluminum chassi out there.
Apple build quality isn't even close to being good. Hardware failures are common, they had the shitty keyboards in previous gens that started failing after dust got stuck in them, e.t.c.
Keep in mind that on something like a Lenovo, if a keyboard fails, it takes 2 days to order a new one from amazon for a very cheap price, and 10 minutes to swap it.
