I'm looking for a new laptop for work and realised that all the programs I use also run on Mac OS. I can't find a windows laptop (within the same price range) that is as thin/light, with such good battery life.

Only problem is that everytime I've had to use Mac OS on someone else's computer, I've hated it.

    • You can't use more than one external monitor. Apparently this is a hardware issue, and was fixed in the newer generation M-class chips.
    • macOS is better than Windows but it still leaps and bounds worse than Linux.
      • But if flexibility isn't your thing - like I said, imo it's better than Windows.

    That's about it tbh. It's a good machine, I am particularly impressed by its battery life. If it could easily run Linux I would probably own one myself.

        My point is he could grow to like it.

            I think it's just downright impossible to get that battery life on x86, it really is that impressive. And yeah you're right, Asahi Linux is the closest we currently have to Linux on the M1 chips, and that is in a very early alpha apparently, idk what that maens in terms of its usability.
