Five years ago I splurged on a higher end laptop than I’ve ever had, and regretted it from the beginning. Even when new, the battery barely lasted an hour, and hyper-v was unable to do the VMs I wanted

But I needed Windows for two reasons: tax software and gaming with my kids. Well my tax software also supports Mac and my kids are in college, so there goes my reasons.

So I booted up the windows laptop to do my taxes. It started with not knowing my pin, my bad. But the alternate login was to use the mandated online account that I don’t use. That password change sent email to my ex: yikes. Then ad after ad after popup, so crazy how unusable it became

So yeah, laptop sucks and is showing its age, big waste of money, no more reason to be tied to windows, poor experience ……. Really selling me on a Mac for my next one
