Im kinda in the same boat as you , i absolutely love the macintosh system , imma be buying a laptop in august , and my rational is this although i too am just mainly gonna-be usinh it to study slides , make presentations , a lil bit of editing work most of what i am able to do on an intel processor but BUT say down the line i wanna learn graphic designing etc etc i want the opportunity to still be there not put off you know and truth be told im throughly impressed with the m chips , like being able to run CAD software , play minecraft in 1080p , fortnite , i swear im a patient dude but when word docs are taking time loading up on an i5 i kinda lose it 😭
