First impressions after switching from a Windows Laptop to a MacBook 😋
(AS A LIFETIME WINDOWS USER)
Benefits:
- THE BATTERY LIFE. Honestly, I didn’t even imagine that a Laptop can live for so long. -10% AFTER 2 HOURS of SOT. My ThinkPad completely dies in 2 hours on the other hand ⚰️💔
Standby battery loss is also crazy small. -0-2% during the night when not in use. Unbelievable.
- the aluminium body casing is absolutely gorgeous. I feel like it changes the whole perception of the device. Plastic on Laptops is shit, and I hate it so SO much.
This also makes it super sleek and nice to touch, hold, and use in general.
- I have an iPhone, an iPad, and AirPods. And my Windows Laptop was always like a stone in this ecosystem.
The MacBook on the other hand, obviously, works SO WELL with all of them, but what’s especially amazing is their symbiosis with iPad. The mouse pointer can be dragged from MacBook to iPad, the iPad can be used as a second monitor etc.
- THE TRACK PAD, oh my God. This is the best thing I’ve touched in a long time. The haptic feedback, smoothness of the surface, and its size are immaculate. AND the fact that I can click it ALL over its area is a cherry on top 🤤🤤🤤
(On most Windows Laptops you can only click at the bottom, and holy moly I hate it)
I would never think that I’d find a trackpad more appealing to use than a mouse.
It’s just so satisfying to interact with.
- macOS is extremely smooth and comfortable to interact with. This is my first time using it after having a lifetime experience with Windows, so I’m still learning. But for now, I love it so much more than Microslop’s 🪟❌ 11.
- MagSafe charger is so comfortable to attach and use, and the fact that I don’t need a huge ass charging block is my favorite.
But with its battery life I’m not gonna bring a charger with me to Uni anyway, cause there is no need for that. Unlike… 😍
Downsides: (I need more time to find bigger ones)
- the compatibility with 3rd party mice is quite shit ngl. The scrolling is jittery, and it ruins everything imo. Im genuinely not even sure what to do, because I DO need a mouse for my programs I study and work in.
- although macOS is very nice in general (imo, for now), there are some places which are quite illogical and work not as I’d expect them to (coming from Windows)
- some Apps that I need for my studies are simply unavailable on macOS, so I am required to use Parallels to emulate Windows on it. Not that big of a deal, but still meh. 🤨🕶️🤏
- the notch is… nice… but its shape is very weird, and it doesn’t feel as polished as the iPhone of iPhone X-14. (Just a personal downside, subjective)
Overall:
- I am genuinely in shock, because I never thought a Laptop can be like THIS. And I mean, to feel like something as easy to open and immediately start using like a Smartphone.
I’m obsessed. For now…

Windows Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad T470s i5-6300U 8/256GB
MacBook: Air 13” M4 16/256GB
A MacBook with 16 GB RAM often feels smoother than a Windows laptop with 16 GB RAM
What is Apple doing differently that most PC manufacturers still can't match?
BIG NEWS: Microsoft is launching its first real MacBook Pro competitor in the Apple Silicon era with its new Surface Laptop Ultra, coming this fall.
Microsoft is making a beefed-up Surface Laptop complete with NVIDIA’s new N1X SoC, officially dubbed RTX Spark. It’s the most powerful Surface ever made, competing head to head with high-end configurations of the MacBook Pro and offering 1 petaflop of AI Compute power, up to 128GB unified memory, and full CUDA support.
It features an incredible 15-inch Mini-LED screen, the largest haptic trackpad ever on a Surface, and a wider selection of ports including HDMI and a full-sized SD card reader.
This is the full package. The ultimate Windows laptop. So exciting. https://t.co/zrGzfiGdoB
Keith Rabois is a veteran tech investor with stints at PayPal, LinkedIn and Stripe. He hasn't used a laptop or desktop computer since September 2010.
The switch wasn't a productivity experiment. It was a direct response to watching Jack Dorsey run Square — a fast-growing fintech startup — from an iPad. If that was good enough for a CEO, Rabois figured it was good enough for him.
His case for going laptop-free is simple: smaller devices force tighter thinking. Fewer windows open. Shorter interactions. Less distraction. He's described his iPhone as a "persistent computer" for over a decade — not a phone.
He's not alone. Dorsey admitted in 2018 that he had no laptop and relied entirely on voice typing. Former Starwood Hotels CEO Frits van Paasschen ditched his desktop while running a global hospitality company. "My office is wherever I go," he said.
AI is accelerating the shift. Vibe coding apps now let users build software entirely from a phone through AI prompts — attracting serious investor attention, including a $9.4 million seed round backed by Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian.
Global PC shipments are still growing and laptop demand remains strong commercially. But the assumption that high-level work requires a traditional computer is increasingly worth questioning.
The most productive device isn't the most powerful one. It's the one that keeps you focused.

A month ago, I finally bought a MacBook after putting it off for years.
At first, I thought it would just be another laptop. But after using it every day, my work got better.
Everything feels faster. Smoother. More reliable. Less waiting, fewer distractions, and more focus on actually creating.
Looking back, getting a Mac wasn’t just buying a new device, it was removing friction from my workflow.
One month in, and I can confidently say it was the right move.
