this is the computing device I primarily live out of, got it because I needed a video-editing workhorse for school and do not like windows laptops. Been having a great time with it so far, just wish apple didn't cheap out on the storage/ram on their computers bc 512gb is pretty stingy.
I primarily use it at my desk, hooked up to my monitor and mouse through a USB-C dock. Being able to split everything between two screens is very helpful, and I like the top/bottom arrangement a lot more than the traditional side/side style
I've been having a great time with MacOS, took me about a week to settle in and now it just works (for the most part)
I was missing some creature comforts from my windows install, mainly window snapping (which apple actually added in a recent update) and autoscroll (the thing where you can middle click the mouse to have the page smoothly scroll according to your mouse movement). After looking around, my two options were either
using a firefox plugin that restored the functionality (but only within firefox)
using a program that allows you to use autoscroll throughout the OS, but at the cost of no longer allowing you to use middle click for other interactions (such as closing tabs).
I ended up going with the latter (specifically a program called Smart Scroll) and it's been serving me well so far (I actually quite enjoy the inertial scrolling feature, as well as the ability to use it in system apps like settings and finder, that otherwise would've worked better with the touchpad scrolling)
