I've been using Windows computers/laptops for 30 years (most recently a premium XPS 13-inch i7). However, in recent years, I've been experiencing increasing annoyances: the M-365's business model, too many and too frequent updates, and a poor connection with my (Android) phone. My fast laptop was getting hotter and slower with intensive use. The cooling fan was sometimes so loud I thought it was a vacuum cleaner.
Finally, after much hesitation, I switched to the Apple ecosystem. After several years of experience with an iPhone, I now also have a MacBook. What a relief! NO more fan noise. No more heater on my lap. Quiet, everything super fast (even logging in with your finger takes a tenth of a second). Beautiful screen, gorgeous sky-blue finish. I work a lot with photos and maps like Komoot and BaseCamp. Zooming in and out is incredibly fast and without any hiccups. This is demanding on the processor, but no problem for this powerhouse. Never before has everything worked so smoothly.
The connection within the ecosystem is instant and stable. I can't think of anything that could be improved. Simply fantastic!
The battery life is also very long. Connecting with the included Magsafe cable works perfectly. The magnet is strong enough so it won't fall off if it gets bumped. This has also been well thought out.
In short, don't hesitate because this is a great choice.
It now works flawlessly with the Tahoe 26.3.
