The M1 MBA was simply the best laptop for my use case at that price, I needed a somewhat powerful, lightweight laptop with good battery life for college. I had always wanted to try MacOS too so that was a bonus

I bought a MacBook for many reasons first yes the Aple ecosystem and because I find them easier to use than Windows computers I just like Macs they last longer and are more reliable for me than Windows machines

I’m from India btw, and a decent windows laptop would cost 60k-75k for basic needs like multimedia, web browsing and office stuff. Even such a laptop shows it’s true face after 2 years in the battery and hinge front.

This is where MacBook comes into picture where the longevity plays a part. The benefits you get for what you pay is mutlifolds, especially after the introduction of apple silicon. Again it all leads to use case as the primary factor which made me a seamless transition to a MacBook. (Bought MBAM1 for 60k during sale) And also iPhone mac integration is a cherry on top and makes thing even sweeter

I would’ve preferred one of those hybrid 2 in 1 convertible laptops as it seemed convenient but almost every review was saying how amazing the MacBook Air M1 was. I had just brought the IPhone 11 Pro the year before and wanted to stay in the ecosystem if possible so I decided to get the MacBook M1. 2 years later still my best decision.

As someone from the windows world my whole life, I’m eyeing tomorrow nights releases. 3nm to me might mean more efficiency, and that’s my primary reason is that sick battery life. Got a xps plus and it chews through the battery, makes me anxious. Want to feel calm when I’m sitting at my pc which I do a lot. For me it’s battery life on a high end portable workstation.

Before I had the Galaxy book 2 Pro 360 i7 16 gb ram 512 gb ssd, it was nice and thin but I had the 15.6 inch display and the resolution was 1080p which made the screen look terrible but was amoled. Also it would get really hot for no reason even when I just opened YouTube. I returned it and got the MacBook Pro 14 and it’s amazing!

I originally got into it because I like to use Logic (the audio software). I stayed because I love the build quality of the keyboard, screen, and track pad. Weird point but I like how you can resize browser windows in Mac OS. It always annoys me trying to do stuff like that in Windows

The Apple ecosystem mainly. But I do really like the build quality and battery life. I can program on it, game on it (lots of retro and some modern), edit photos, run VMs. I could do all this on a PC and I have in the past. I enjoyed Thinkpads and still have the ones I owned but I don’t like the user experience when it comes to most laptops out there. Frameworks does seem pretty cool so maybe they’ll be my next laptop.

I have straight up PTSD of windows laptops. My m2 pro is the first laptop to give me quality windows desktop Speed.

Because the build quality is better than most windows laptops. OS is better than windows, and if we got a Mac we got mostly an iPhone in which we also see more value than android phones, and performance is through the roof since 2021

Between the 2020 Air and the crappy windows laptops that were available in my country during peak inflation, Air was a no brainer

for me, yes, apple ecosystem and i love macOS rather than Windows coz the ui was more spesific to iOS. i know i can slam hackintosh to my HP laptop, but sometimes i felt jealous with someone have a real Mac

I was fed up with constant windows maintenance. Reinstalling windows every year was still a thing then (2012). Tried Linux (try it every other year) but this is still nothing for me. To much maintenance to. Bought a macbook pro retina in 2013 which is still running.good on Catalina.

I use windows for work. It‘s OKish but the amounts of tickets I had to open for malfunctions of the software is still baffeling. And a Macbook Air 15‘ with 512Gb isn‘t that expensive compared to a windows machine of the same specs

Like the screen Like the weight and how it looks like

Got a MBA back in 2014 because at the time it was the only laptop, to my knowledge, that would run for 10 hrs from battery and was able to somehow stack multiple discounts to bring the price to a little over $700 (tax included). Needed it to take notes at a conference that I was attending to get ideas for my thesis and my original laptop would stay for for more than 30 min off battery (the auditorium I was in did not have power plugs for laptops and my handwriting is so bad I’d not be able to understand what I wrote after 1 day. Doctors would be jealous of my handwriting)
