These are the perfect answer for me now. I'm older, have always had high end machines, have built my own performance gaming pc's, and while I'm not an expert, have gotten tired of Microsoft Windows products and their constant upgrade and renewal cycles. These machines, especially with the Pro chip and decent sized hard drives, coupled with the Mac OS, function smoothly and flawlessly. They will do anything I need to do on a PC, transition from Windows went easily. Updates happen in the background. They are quiet: no, they are noiseless. They have a very small footprint. They interface with my iPhone and Apple watch, update calendars across all devices, handle my finances and stocks, my email identical to my phone, photos are a breeze, and internet is easy. Security seems top notch, and updating passwords on one device updates them all. I've had the oldest of the two since August of 2024. I had misgivings about not having the latest chip, but no problems or complaints whatsover. They are ideal machines, excellent value, and the new ones (M4's) are even better.
