If u like W11, opt for Windows.

I hated W11 so mostly opted for older Windows laptops. But recently, I'm giving W11 a try again and bought mostly 8-9th gen laptops. So far, it is kinda usable.

As for MacBook, I prefer upgradable and repairable models so I kept my old 2012, maxed out the upgrades and ran Sonoma on it. Need to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to get it running.
