There's plenty of good hardware outside the Apple world. Heck, whenever I get convinced to try Apple hardware or software, its quirks and obvious glitches put me off. Input lag is the topmost issue. It immediately washes off the "quality" impression. But I understand that Apple users are used to that and don't notice such issues.

What would you recommend?

> input lag is the topmost issue

IME this is a massive problem on windows and android and apple actually gets it right. They occasionally have stupid animations but those animations are responsive and trigger immediately. I don’t experience 3-5 second stalls (seriously the share dialog on android is a disgrace, and the windows start menu has become the least reliable part of the OS), and the input devices track to on screen movements - something I can’t say for win/android.

Yup, the "switch desktops/spaces" input lag is the absolute worst on Mac. It's remarkable that Apple has a reputation of being good at UX.
