I was moved, quite against my will, into the Mac field three years ago, by the company I was working for. It didn't start as my cup of tea, but I eventually got used to it. Hell, I even started enjoying using my MBP. It checked the right boxes in my list. Since Catalina, it doesn't anymore. Or, at least it doesn't check as much boxes as it used to. And, frankly, it's not worth the cost anymore. I could justify the expense for an used 2015 MBP, which felt like a slick and comfortable machine. Can I justify the expense for another Mac, now that it feels distinctly uncomfortable?
