Hi, I never use Macbook Air or Pro previously. Previosuly I use lenovo laptops, build desktop for my personal use.

Now thinking of whether shd get one Macbook. The usage will be use excel or words, use some softwares, use VPN, watch netflix, sometime will attach to Monitor. I will also need to bring it to customers to do presentation and marketing.

My concern which stopping me to buy Macbook which is so much expensive is...I worried that this laptop will just become very slow and lag like my previous few lenovo laptops, even add 16gb ram, ssd, after 3-4 years, it's slow like hell... even the boot... will Macbook having this issue?

But I actually like the look of Macbook and it's weight, since it's really light to bring it out.

Kindly advise.

Yes a MacBook is more expensive than a Windows laptop with equivalent specs, but I believe it is worth the price premium. No one can exactly say whether a laptop will become slow and laggy 3-4 years in the future, but based on my experience with my wife's MacBook Air from 2015, day to day normal usage is still perfectly fine. It was not exactly a fast machine when it was brand new, but it didn't slow down either after all these years.

Anyway, before making any decision, you should wait for the new MacBooks with Apple's own processors. They are announcing it a few hours from now.

thx for your advice.

Commenting on the excel usage. If you have shortcuts ingrained as muscle memory, you're gonna have a bit of a tough time using excel on a Mac since some shortcuts are different. With regards to the slow/lag, as long as you don't fill the SSD to the brim, your speed should be fine. I have friends using their macbooks (some air, some pro) for years and the performance is still acceptable.

As a side note, if you're wanting to meet clients, an iPad with a keyboard might actually be a better option.
