It doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong though. I have personally lamented that Dell or HP don't build a very similar machine, as I'd buy that in a microsecond. It really and truly looks to be the best hardware on the market right now... it's just a shame you can't trust the firmware not to be backdoored.
Dell is selling equally nice (IMO) laptops that actually run Linux out of the box. That's not a comment on security or anything, but it happens to be important to me right now.
Yeah it's nice Dell is building Linux machines, but they're not equally nice by my measure. Dell's machines are usually made of lots of various bits of squeaky, often ill-fitting plastic, they usually still require barrel power adapters of various sizes that rarely match between models and have HUGE bricks you have to lug around, and the logic which they use to choose which machines have which display options available seems to be casting bones.
Dell really couldn't go wrong just taking the xerox machine to Huawei's machine. Aluminum body, USB-C power, 3:2 high-DPI display, new processors and maxed out memory, and it's pretty damned light at under 1.5kg. It even nicely hides the camera under the keyboard so you don't have to put obnoxious tape under the lid. It says a hell of a lot the biggest design change I'd make would be to put USB-C ports on both sides so you could charge it from either side.
