I have to admit that, as a firmware engineer, I like my main machine being an M1 MacBook. Of course, that's mostly because I can have dozens of differently configured virtual desktops with terminals SSHed into the systems that do all the actual work, but it's also got an excellent battery life.

I switched to an M2 MacBook after a decade on windows for work because we wanted to manage our iPads with organizational accounts and not just personal apple id’s and needed Apple Configurator to install our MDM.
I can’t imagine ever using another device. The M2 lasts all day and more, is totally silent and is perfect for working in the terminal and in M365 apps. I know it probably doesn’t actually run better than windows but MacOS does a much better job of keeping performance issues out of site, out of mind
