Likewise, I had a “high end” business laptop, that didn’t have many alternatives in the windows ecosystem, and replaced it with a 14” base m1 mbp.
The battery lasts 3x longer on the Mac than on the old laptop, and I can generally get significantly better performance in photoshop and Lightroom without dealing with the dual gpu problems that windows laptops have. Additionally, my heavy compilation workloads in Go are almost 2x as fast on battery, and around 1.3x when plugged in.
Top that with a screen and speakers that are so much better there just isn’t a comparison. Windows laptops are a joke unless they live plugged in
Yep… I used to hate MacOS (used to work at an AppleCentre). But, sometimes it almost feels like Microsoft tries to screw us over, and then reverts only if we complain.
The only issue I have, is Netflix performs poorly on my HDMI screen on my Mac Studio (everything else is fine)… I suspect its related to Widevine/DRM though (and might be why there is no netflix app on MacOS)
Aero Peek and such though in Windows is a lot nicer than MacOS imho… I installed magnet (not as good, but better).
I do feel Windows was ahead in some areas, but when you can’t get your own console showing properly on your own computer OS, thats embarressing…
