I just bought a new MacBook Air. My old HP laptop died and I decided I had had enough of Windows and Windows 10. So I made the switch and could not be happier.

I am still a remote controlled zombie of Farmer Bill Gates. In the last year I have bought el Cheapo refurbs from Dell and HP. One is a 15.6" laptop. The other a desktop connected to an IPS LED monitor. In both I installed more memory and an NVME. Now they fly.

But really, what you want in a new Windows computer is one that the sleep function works 99-100% of the time. This is not always the case. BUT if the sleep function works great in your new Windows Ten computer.....Then use sleep and rarely turn it off. THEN an old fashioned 1TB hard drive is tolerable. No SSD or NVME needed. I have a computer with Intel Optane chip installed. This hypes up the conventional spinning hard drive action, so that reads go much faster into the 900 mb/s range. Writes stay pretty much the same. Maybe 10% faster.

I am guessing that the sleep function in Apple laptops runs perfecto 100% of the time

******** The kings of cheapo refurbs are VIP Outlet which is part of Walmart. They have their own website and also are on eBay. Also the official Dell refurbs website. Dell refurbs are also on eBay. Dell loves to move product however they can. You can find different prices for Dell refurbs on their own website versus their Ebay prices.

I run a Mac with Windows 7 running inside it via Parallels, have done so for almost a decade.

I have set up several systems for clients who NEED a Mac for X software and need Windows for X software as well. My wife has a MacBook Pro and a New MacAir configured like this with Windows 8.1.

It’s the best of both worlds and updates on Window can be turned OFF!

For most people, the MacBook Air is all the computer they will ever need. I was a MacBook Pro user for many years but this past go-around, I decided to try out the feather-weight Air model. I also could not be happier with it. I do wish it had an option for a 15 inch screen but I've gotten used to this one. Like you, I am very happy with it and it is truly portable, barely heavier than my iPad.
