I have 6 or 7 Windows laptops, and several MacBook laptops... I just gotta say, it is nothing new that the USB dongle situation is truly out of control for macs.  You need a dongle for everything... dongles dongles dongles... I don't have any dongles connected to any of my Windows PCs... why? Because PCs generally bother to put appropriate ports for things like HDMI, displayport, Ethernet, and USB-A.

And SO WHAT if you need an nVidia or AMD chip to play games decently on a Windows PC... AT LEAST YOU HAVE THE OPTION to purchase a machine with decent graphics and a decent CPU.  Some of Apple's most expensive machines have traditionally been lacking under the hood.  I've spent a good $6000 of a Windows PC before, sure.... but for that I got a PAIR of the best graphics cards money could buy and a 32-core/64-thread CPU... and hard-tube liquid cooling.  I don't know if anyone has made a 32-core or 64-core ARM chip... but if I'm wrong, educate me.
