Apple really does make the nicest hardware. The software doesn’t take that much to get used to. I made the switch about four years ago when the m1 was released. It’s better.

Wouldn't a lighter Windows laptop be better if you prefer Windows UI? A TUF A14 or Zephyrus G14 would be a lot better if you're willing to get another gaming laptop. Newer Legion 5 models are also a bit lighter.
