Apple prices for sure suck, but performance, upgradability and flexibility are subjective to the use case and machine. For example, you will not find a mini PC in the same starting price range that has the same performance as a Mac Mini, nor will it be very upgradable, if at all at that size. Many cost-effective laptops are not upgradable past the storage. Inexpensive laptops are underperforming in comparison to more expensive models that might actually cost more than a MacBook . You won’t find battery life is comparable unless you go with Snapdragon, which limits compatibility and sacrifices upgradability. AIOs suck in both spaces, so I’ll not mention them. As for flexibility, I can do more in my use cases with a Mac than I can with a Windows or Linux machine. Where Apple really screws their users over is with upgrades, especially since you have to do them during purchase. The area where Apple can’t compete at all is desktop machines (not discussing AIOs). Outside of cost, it’s all subjective and situational. -

Not with Proton, no. macOS isn’t Linux in any way, shape, or form. -

AIDA64 was just showing the variable speed. Open Task Manager and go on the CPU tab and see the magic of your CPU speed going up and down as the PC does things in the background. C States Auto/Disabled actually forces all cores on (disabling the ability to park unneeded 3D Cache cores when they aren't needed), but does not have any effect on the CPU speed. I think setting the Power Plan in Windows to High Performance does boost the CPU clock higher, which also results in less energy efficiency with "everything turned up to 11" all the time when it isn't even needed. Older generation CPUs did not have the variable speeds we now have in modern CPUs, they operated on a fixed clock speed.
