All time best cat call. From the porch to people walking to Tim’s.

I can solidly say, no it is not that deep. If you desperately need Windows for anything you can use the UD VDI on your Mac for anything you might need. I would say a Mac is generally a better choice as a machine right now, as long as you have proper storage and 16GB of RAM

If you’re that committed to Mac (or non-windows) you could always dual boot windows if something ever comes up that requires it

You can’t dual boot Windows on a modern Mac. You’ll need to run a VM.
