I've been a Windows user since Win 3.1 and until Win 11. My phones have all been Android, and I can't stand the iPhone UX. Yet, when time came last year to replace my dead Intel-based laptop, I went with an M1 Pro and never looked back. Objectively, M-series laptops are the best ones and nothing else comes close. The combination of power capacity, capability, and form factor are just unbeatable - and I'm basing this on a device two generations behind. Got it refurbished (barely any prior use, looks new, still under warranty), so price was quite acceptable as well.
