[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 1075509, member: 88686"] I have an M1 Macbook Air. If you do anything other than gaming and using Windows-dependent power user apps, Mac is the way to go. Apple Silicon is seriously fast, RAM management is more like a phone so you can get way more out of 16 or even 8 GB RAM. All storage is PCIe SSD so everything loads instantly. No drivers. Ever. Works seemlessly with other Apple devices. Never ever had malware in my life and even if I tried, by default, every app on macOS is a sandboxed instance so imagine running Sandboxie on everything. Personally I like the app ecosystem on Mac a lot better. Mac app developers seem to be obsessed with matching Apple's software quality so there are little to no bugs, always beautiful designs and lots of automation/ease of use right out of the box of course for a price but it's not much. There are just far fewer crappy apps in the Mac ecosystem than Windows fortunately. Disclaimer: I have used Windows for almost all my life since Windows 93. Used ChromeOS for 2 years and Ubuntu for 6 months. Switched to macOS in 2021 and have been using it since. [/QUOTE]
