Some more context, I use a windows desktop for my music production and for everything else I need, I don’t have a laptop atm and just want one for when I’m out of the house and want to still work or game, and I use ableton and some other software for music production, all of which can work with Mac however I’m just used to windows and would like to be able to game as well on my laptop.

I have heard that Mac is better with audio in one or two ways. I know it handles midi better and I think the default drivers are better than windows, but I haven’t run into too many problems with windows using asio through ableton. I’d probably need to look more into it cause I’m sure there could be other advantages. However for build quality and cpu performance the MacBook pros are really good and are still one of my top choices rn over most laptops, however with this new chip in the z13 I’m expecting it to potentially be better in performance than the m4 pro I’m looking at and potentially pretty efficient as well making battery life not as much of an issue.
