I've owned/used lots of laptops (both my own & from work).
When I tried windows laptops in recent times I searched for the best ones in my size range - both times they were dells (last one is a 2015 XPS 13) & in both I've paid close to apple-level prices (the xps was €2400 IIRC) and yet I had to have both repaired within about a year of buying. With the xps it was just after the 1 year mark which meant I had to pay several €100s for a screen replacement.
This never happened to me with a MacBook pro despite having used a lot more of these than I have PC laptops (which were supposed to be high-end laptops).
For what it's worth I don't care about OS - my main computer is an iMac I duelboot Mac & Win via boot camp.
This is anecdotal. The last macbook I bought the GPU stopped working and it black screened after 2 years or so. It was also ran hot due to apple's weird indexers constantly using 100% cpus in the background and it being a closed system meant you couldn't really figure out wtf it was doing that or fix it.
However my 2012 era thinkpad is a complete tank, and even better any issues are easily user serviceable.
Yeah I had a company issued 2019 top of the line xps 15. It replaced top of the line HP 5 years back.
I would commute a lot and bring my macbook to use in place of the dell. I would dual boot i. I only take out the XPS to get on vpn :-/
