I'm generally not an Apple fan, I only use it for work and have never bought an Apple product with my own money.

Saying that the M1 MBP is pure bliss, so much that I'm for the first time considering spending my own money on an Apple product. And that is even though I still had a few issues here and there with Docker but the 'no fan, no heat' and strong battery life make well up for it!

Yup, recently got one for work. I still do my open source work on Windows with a maxed out XPS i9 laptop, since I've used Windows almost exclusively for 20+ years, and VS is a bit nicer than VSCode for F# (or maybe I'm just used to it; VSCode on Mac is perfectly usable). Perf is about the same between the two (though TBH the Mac does usually run a couple of percent faster when I time it) , but that Mac just spoils you for battery life. I get frustrated now when the Dell starts asking for more juice after "only" two hours.
