So I'm in the market for a thin and light.

Was gonna use for a little work, need windows for some work application, and my personal entertainment (YouTube, Netflix, browsing). My company do provide laptops, but I just like to use my own for work at home.

This here comes, at 3.5k, the intel MacBook Air just have such an advantage in build quality compared to windows laptop at 3.5k. I do put great value on screen quality, and build quality.

Should I get intel MacBook Air i3? I can dual boot windows on it and run the software I need occasionally for work. The most I need is excel, outlook, team, and Audit Express running. The i3 should handle it.

Or should I get windows at equivalent cost?
Or, should I just get M1 macs and don't work on my personal device? ( can still run excel though, just not the software, as the software needs to generate and interact with a window based words and excel, I doubt wine bottler and Rosetta will do it)
