In the end, it probably depends on your needs.
The two main Windows laptop we have are Acer Swift Go 14 2024 model (S$1187 in July 2024 and S$1060 in Oct 2024), Core Ultra 5 125H CPU, 16GB/1TB, with USB4/TB4 and WiFi 7. At that time I feel no comparable Apple laptop with similar features at similar price range.
Then I got Mac Mini M1 in 2020 and MacBook Neo in 2026, as I feel no similar Windows machine at the similar price range and similar features. I needed the Mac Mini M1 at the time since the older Mac Mini 2011 died in 2019. As for MacBook Neo, I do not exactly need it but I feel it is a good buy.
