Cons:
-Shortcuts are really atrocious(I still copy/past the || sign or ~ after a few weeks because I just can't remember it and it's just muscle memory at this point), I already left meetings accidentally by using the wrong shortcuts...
-need adapters for so many things and some adapters brand don't work on mac even though they work fine on linux/windows/any other(btw I don't get the point of having an SD card slot in 2022 but not one USB port... there is an HDMI which is just as thick but they couldn't put one freaking usb port for a mouse)
-Rosetta isn't perfect so some binaries don't seem to work really well(and in rare occasions not at all)
(those 3 cons are actually linked, since I can't do some stuff on Mac, I still use my linux PC sometimes, so it's really hard to use two different sets of shortcuts ...)
-can't split your screen in 4, you need multiple clicks/mouse movements to split your screen in 2...
-having to give permissions to apps can be really annoying(yes Apple, I shouldn't have to allow my terminal to read ~/Documents ffs), very annoying to have restart your browser to give it permissions
-performance isn't THAT good, of course it's a huge step up for Apple, but compared to my old laptop with a i7 and a GTX it obviously feels weak sometimes, especially given that my laptop was like 700$ cheaper.
Pro:
-battery life/charging time, it's nice to charge your laptop for just a few minutes, and spend hours on it afterwards
-video quality/sound, that's expected for this price range, but it feels really nice
-some software that don't work well with Wine works on Mac
-slightly less time on linux/unix specific issues when you're reckless and f*ck up your OS(but I guess you rarely have this kind of issues after 10years)
Besides that, not much.
Not worth the price IMO, I wouldn't get one if it wasn't paid for by the company, if it's free then take it, but if you can choose the brand you want then you can get something nicer IMO
