I have been using windows for most of my life, and only slightly touched macos because my sister has a mac. I really want an thin and light with great battery life, and with apples silicon I’ve read that the battery holds extremely well. My only fear is macos. whenever I used it in the past I never really enjoyed it much, but that could just be due to low exposure time. Anyways I want some advice from people who switched or who switched and didn’t like it. And I would love some recommendations of windows laptops as well. Thank you
Ive used windows my whole life but studying music in college meant the best tool was a mac so I got a nicely specd out m2 air.
The battery is kinda insane. I never charge it at school and I also am usually fine if I forget for a night. MacOS takes some getting used to, and some windows users will switch and just complain because its different. I notice that macOS is a much more streamlined design compared to windows which isnt quite sure what it wants. For example windows will update something like the settings, but they dont add all the functionality necessary so they still have the control panel, and I have to use both all the time. They add so many unnecessary layers on top of existing features and it feels like a bit of a mess after using macOS. Windows is much better for a personal machine imo because of the gaming support and all the freeware you can mess with, but mac is the most effective for many workflows like school or work.
TLDR: if windows 7 was still supported this might be a tougher debate
