When the first released the M1 chip I decided to not upgrade because it only supported one additional screen and I was always a three screens guy.
It was also ugly as fuck.
Stayed with the Intel chip to this day, still performs really well IMO.

Yeah same. My problem is now though support is being killed for it, which is why we been upgrading hardware!

I am not really an Apple person. I mostly use HP and Dell laptops, along with an Android phone. Apple definitely has a certain aura around its products, but for me, performance matters more.

I have heard there are quite a few limitations with macOS and the biggest downside, especially as an ex-gamer, is that you can’t play every game on a Mac. That’s a dealbreaker for me.

I have no idea on gaming other than OSRS, which works on Mac.

I myself work with both PC and Mac, trying to play to the strengths of each. It usually blows up in my face but from what I noticed over the last years, Mac is more stable, PC is (potentially) stronger.
I hate Excel on Mac. It's so stupid. I would've loved to have it run properly but they had to dumb it down to the Apple fellas I guess.
