Earlier in 2023, I documented my experiences and initial difficulties with switching to macOS as someone who's used Windows OS for well over two decades. Even with my trials and tribulations, I found the Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020) to be an interesting challenge that I fell deeper into the more I used it. And learning each new feature gave me a sense of satisfaction I haven’t felt with a PC or laptop in years.
As I also discovered, there are many advantages to owning a MacBook Air – some of which completely dismantled preconceived notions of Apple products I’ve held since my college years when the lowest configurations were still twice as expensive as Dell’s mid-range options. And since the pandemic started in 2020, Windows laptops have skyrocketed in price due to the much higher demand, while Apple has kept most of its laptops competitive or even lower in price.
