I've always used Windows computers and Android phones, and was raised around a lot of people that hated on Apple. I never really hated Apple, but I also never used it. Once I finally got a MacBook Air M4, I was blown away and wondered why I didn't switch to a MacBook sooner.
The amount of power and performance that comes out of this computer, without it even breaking a sweat, is unreal. The battery life feels never ending. It's actually more like a full day's worth, but it doesn't even feel real. I was used to Windows computers that were doing good if they lasted 2 hours.
On the MacBook Air, I'm able to push it really hard with video and photo editing, coding, and other hard processes, even some AI work locally. It's blazing fast and never slows down. My primary computer will always be a MacBook.
