  • I also have a M1 MBP 14"
    MPB wins for touchpad and battery life, hands down. I really wish a bigger touchpad was available (space would be an issue).

    Keyboard is really, really close. MBP by a slim margin. but this is the nicest kb on a win laptop I’ve used.
    Screen quality is a draw.

    FW wins for upgrade/support, flexibility of ports, running Win/Linux. And weight, it weights a lot less.

    I don’t worry about fixing a Mac. My 2012 Retina is still going. Battery needs replaced, but everything else works. Wish I could get a newer OS on it, but otherwise its still a great machine.

    bios updating the hba (array controller) on your primary sql server during a 30 min maintenance window at 2am is still a bit never wracking.

    But yeah, pushing out bios updates to desktops/laptops has become a near-non issue. That combined with the decline in device cost and the rise in backup and cloud-based apps make replacing a died-during-update machine a lot less onerous.
