The new macbooks are the best laptop experience you'll find in the market, but they are far from the strongest performing laptops you'll find, especially for the money. If you want a smooth, streamlined experience, without having to carry a mouse around, the macbook pro 16 and the Mac OS is the cream of the crop.The colors, brightness, and clarity of the laptop are absolutely the best quality screen you'll find in a laptop.The keyboard is great, but a bit overhyped. What it surpasses others in is build quality, there is a lot of quality control in every single key, so they feel stable, consistent, and satisfactory. But to me, they don't make or break a laptop experience.The speakers exceed all of the hype and reviews that you hear. Go to the apple store when you can and give them a listen, they are some of the best portable speakers period.The touchpad is arguably worth the price tag alone if you are looking to carry around your work. It is accurate and enjoyable to use, and far better than anything else on a non Apple product.With all this said, the performance is lackluster at least for my standards. While navigating photo editing apps like Adobe are enjoyable with the trackpad, there is still quite a bit of video lag when panning, zooming, or operating large files. In the OS, windows are laggy to move around from a visual standpoint. For the same price you could get a Windows laptop that has an RTX 2070 or higher, and everything would be much more enjoyable from a snappy and visual standpoint.This is my first macbook, and I absolutely love the user experience it provides. But despite the prestige of owning one, the build quality associated with every part of the laptop, the amazing screen and touchpad, and the portable power consistency you can get when it isn't plugged in, I have to say I'll be moving back to a Windows laptop. The biggest thing I will miss is the touchpad.
