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.

    AFAIK, you can’t tap on the touchpad to click, have to go all the way to the bottom to left-click. And speaking of clicks, there’s no right-click. And you’ll need a “dongle” for the external mouse too because of course you do.

    These are all untrue, you can adjust the trackpad behavior very easily to enable tap to click and even two finger tap to right click. Unless you're stuck in 2002 with a corded mouse you don't need a dongle for it.

        Have windows people not figured out Bluetooth yet? I haven't used an external mouse with a cord in over a decade

            Better range, doesn't get caught on things, performs the same if you're using a functional operating system, doesn't get tangled in stuff if you're traveling with it

              Yes, but even then USB wireless mice have even greater range, function even when Bluetooth is inaccessible (firmware for example), much lower latency, and better battery life.
