Summary
After a week with an M3 MacBook Pro, he praises macOS sleep and seamless resume after closing the laptop. He finds macOS window management unintuitive: dock clicks do not minimize, fullscreen creates Spaces, split view lacks snapping, and windows require manual resizing. He misses Windows’ taskbar previews, app-over-maximized behavior, and top-right controls, saying macOS adds no compelling capability and may eventually return him to Windows.
Insight
A brief experiment reinforces his preference for familiar, flexible Windows workflows over macOS’s separate-space design.
