Home: 2022 Lenovo Legion 7 w/ Ryzen 9 & RTX 3080 - hot, loud, battery lasts 2 hours
Work: 2021 Macbook Pro (M1, A2442) - cool, quiet, battery lasts 8 hours
I made the switch to working on the Mac after being a PC user since the 90s and I know which one I want to flip open and use for just about everything that isn't gaming. There's probably an Intel 13th gen efficiency core windows notebook out there that will give a similar experience to the Mac but I bet it won't feel as refined.
The combination of two systems gives me the best of both worlds.
