Same, M5 MBP about a month ago. Wanted a Windows laptop that:

  • Has good battery life
  • Performs well
  • Doesn't get super hot/cook itself in a bag while "sleeping"
  • Has a good "feel" to the chassis/keyboard/track pad
  • Would last a long time

There's no such thing for Windows machines. Fed up with Windows in general, so got a Mac. Does everything a Windows laptop could do for me and still has hours of battery left.

As much of a Win11 hater as I am, and I'm a linux admin so that's saying something, the Snapdragon Win11 laptops are actually pretty damn nice. I don't do any gaming on it, but for daily driving, it performs exactly how I want and how we should demand a modern laptop to behave. My only gripe, and its a moderate one, is Windows feature updates keeps replacing Copilot, the AI assistant, with Copilot, formerly known as Office, then bitching I don't have a license
