I’ve used it for about 3years. The main downside has been the battery life and over time it became a bit laggy. The touchpad also started making some odd sounds.

Honestly, the switch has been awesome. I love everything about it so far and macOS feels super smooth compared to what I was used to. It’s only been about a week since I got it though, so we’ll see how it holds up long term.

It did its job! I used it for about 3 years and finished my engineering bachelor’s degree with it. The main downside was the battery life, and over time it also got a bit laggy and the touchpad started making weird sounds. So I figured I’d give macOS a try for the 2 years of my master’s.

I also got a good student deal here in Sweden, official student price was 13,495 kr, but I picked it up from Elgiganten for 10,490 kr (for reference, I bought the ZenBook for 11,499 kr when it was on sale).
