I still need some Windows apps as I contract to a security firm and certain hardware programming can only be done on Windows so I need Parallels and Windows 11 (which I do not like, Windows 10 I much better IMHO but thats just me).Becomes costly purchasing them compared to Windows. Being a software developer there are some windows apps (free) that you cannot get on Mac for example, Notepad++ (Sublime for $89), WinSCP (Forklift $29, Transmit $49, Commander One Free), HeidiSQL (DBeaver is good enough), Rufus (haven't found a good one) to name a few.I can now develop Apple and Android apps on 1 laptop.No lag when opening and hardly uses any power.

The battery lasted 2 hours tops, the screen was good but not amazing and it was loud and ran hot and off battery the performance was so bad. It had so many problems (4 months to fix the motherboard and screen) and after 2 years I gave up on it. My windows laptop was not great, a Gigabyte Aero 17".
