Macbook

The newer M chipped Macs have Apples own CPU Arm Architecture processor.   It uses much less power and produces much less heat so runs cooler. Doesn’t need a fan in the MacBook Air so gives a massive increase in efficiency and battery life.    Also it is massively faster in the way it works.    Without getting super geeky it transforms the way you use your MacBook.     Not needing to be charged during the working day.  I take my MacBook to work with me on a Friday and don’t need to charge it again until the following Tuesday.    Of course others will use the things differently but they will still run up to 18 hours between charges.  Sounds abstract until you actually live with it.   Game changer for most.  Also one thing I notice with my MacBook Air is that they have really improved the speakers.    Much better quality.

I just bought that one @Saul, it looks decent and comes with a 1 year warranty and everything I've seen local is either overpriced or too old .  Thanks for the heads up 

That is identical to mine, you won’t be disappointed for the money.  Just got to get used to MacOS now.    It will be ok Chrome works identically.    Make sure you set yourself up an ICloud account and keep all your files in the cloud.   You will never lose you stuff ever again.  

Get yourself a decent hard shell case to protect it and you will be good for years.

You already have an iCloud account, you can use the same one on the MacBook.

If you have an iphone MacOs will seem very familiar to you the icons will be the same,  as Buckerster says  use the iCloud account you already have and you will be surprised how well they integrate and work together, contacts, calendar, notes and stuff.  Same with Google or Safari or whatever browser you use.    Save all your stuff to icloud drive.    Only real difference to Windows  is using the Finder button to find files pictures and stuff, on the taskbar.  Normally at the top or far left blue and white face sort of icon.    Also all your programmes will be either on the taskbar or in Launchpad.   Give it a couple of days and you probably won't notice the difference.
