    I used exclusively Windows up until about age 16, then switched to Linux for a few years, then back to Windows with a Linux dual-boot for development work. I got a 13" 2015 MacBook Pro in 2020, and I’ve used exclusively Mac since then. I have a literal stack of 8 Windows laptops my parents have given me to either fix or recover data from in the last 3-5 years. Windows laptops, even the expensive ones, just do NOT last as long as Macs, even when they were on Intel chips.

      Between 2009 and now I’ve owned two Windows laptops: an HP pavillion and an Asus Zenbook which still does its job (from 2017). Both were under $1000. Anecdotes are anecdotes.
