Specifically switching from Microsoft to Apple.
Currently have an Asus Vivobook from 2019 which has been absolutely brilliant, I'm amazed how speedy it's stayed! But it's starting to show it's age - doesn't hold a charge or suddenly turns off thinking battery is dead (even if it's actually at 70% when you plug back in) and the keyboard gets quite hot to touch after a couple of hours use.
Looking at possible replacements and I'm very tempted by the Macbook Neo but have absolutely no experience with Apple beyond once having an iPhone for a couple of years! Are they really as good as all the reviews make out?? Everyone says Apple lasts forever and I'd love to get another solid 5yrs at least from whatever I buy next. I'm surprised the Vivobook has lasted this well, if I were to stick with Windows I'd probably go for Asus again, but have I just been lucky with this one?
I'm a light user, mostly browsing and watching videos, a bit of word processing and very occasionally making slides for presentations. No photo/video editing etc.
Absolute maximum budget of £1000 but I'd like to stay lower, ideally more in the £700-800 range.
