Having had a recent Mac for a while, I will be the first to admit that 
the experience using their laptop is stellar, and even better if you own 
other Apple hardware. It has power, battery life, excellent transitions 
from iPhone to Mac and back depending on what it detects you are doing, 
and so on. MacOS also doesn't bother you, is relatively stable, it's 
quiet, and seems to respect your privacy a lot more than Microsoft does. 
If I didn't already have so much invested in the Windows environment, I 
would happily transition to the Mac.

You can't upgrade your hardware in any way and it is unnecessarily 
difficult to repair, but if you don't mind that, it's excellent.
