Battery life, silence, portability.

I bought a MacBook because this is the only machine that can have a long battery life while being silent and capable of more demanding tasks if needed.

I went with M1 Pro 14 because this has a better screen (deep blacks), great sound quality. And even if it gets old and no longer gets the new macOS, will still be capable of high quality image/sound while doing basic tasks.

The battery can always be replaced (at a cost, but still)

I enjoy gaming and even if I want to game, I can still use this laptop with cloud gaming (GeForceNOW, boosteroid, etc) long after the machine is considered “slow”. I have faith in the new silicon chips for its power efficiency. I hope I am not wrong.
