My aging windows tower and retired work laptop were both struggling to keep up with my photo and video editing. Linux asnt an option for Capture One and Davinci Resolve, and the writing was on the wall for what Windows is becoming.
Combined with the failures in Intel Raptor/Alder lake CPUs, I took an unexpected leap into the realm of Apple silicon with an M4 Pro Mac Mini.
Apple is not a perfect company, but this new machine processes video faster than anything I've ever used, and for the first time since the 2010s it has replaceable (proprietary) storage.
I strangely find my self praising apple lately. Not because they're good or because I stopped hating their guts. But just because microsoft has become SOO SHIT!
Apple has also cough up in many regards, tho I'm talking mainly phones here now.
While I swear by Linux, I'm now more likely to recommend MacOS over Windows to people.
I've never owned any Apple product whatsoever - and yet I'm in a similar position to you. Their standings have risen in my eyes simply by keeping their badness level relatively stable while Microsoft and Google rapidly get worse.
I'm no fan of apples, but I have to admit, their switch to arm silicon is really cool!
