I am a long-time windows user. I've had so many different windows laptops, each with their own faults. I've always despised MacBooks because of what you hear from every person who's built a pc before: "Apple makes crappy products!!! No good to use!!!!". Ever since I got my iPad Pro a few years back, Apple has slowly dragged me back into the ecosystem by how good their products have become. With the release of the M1 macs, I was pretty interested in how well these will perform, and eventually caved and bought this MacBook Pro.I was wrong. I've been wrong. This MacBook Pro has very good performance and has kicked ass through everything I throw at it. I like the Big Sur operating system, everything has been made super easy, and also connects to all of my other Apple devices. Being able to to text people from my MacBook is awesome. My only complaint is honestly, like everyone else, the Touch Bar. I wish I had the regular function keys like on the air. I got this one because of better battery life, and man. This laptop lasts me a WEEK. What???? My ol reliable acer laptop only lasted me 8 hours, and I thought that was good.Sorry windows fanboys. Sorry pc master race. For laptops (I will never replace my home windows desktop), the MacBook is one of the best devices you can buy. It's great.
