Without the screen, hardware wise Apple hardware is better (assuming you will never want to upgrade or replace your battery, something I have done many times with my laptop). Software wise
You can't replace the laptop battery yourself but it is replaceable at the store level for $199. They say it's good for 1000 cycles. I'll believe that when I see it but considering the size and capacity of the battery, that doesn't seem that bad. If 1000 cycles is true, then it's a $199 repair every...2.8 years? Assuming you keep a laptop that long.
