Should I buy 1.5L MacBook or buy a 70K Windows laptop?

I'm confused between buying a MacBook Air M2 13", MacBook Pro M1, Macbook Air M2 15" (which just launched a few hours ago) or simply HP Pavilion, Lenovo ThinkPad, Asus Vivobook kind of 70K ish windows laptops. I know Macbooks deliver way better battery and screen. But I'm wondering if it is worth investing 1.5L? I would appreciate your opinion.

@GreenApple Bhai 1.10 ka way better rahega if you are not doing any heavy coding. baki windows 70 ka hoke bhi kuch din me battery problem aata hai. So please think of it before buying windows.

M2 Air 13 is more than enough...
I personally don't prefer 15 inch macs.

Macbooks are paisa wasool devices. However if you break or accidently damage something, including charger, then you'll be screwed.

Laptop internals may also sometime face damage without any mistake of yours. This is true with any machine

If development is the focus, I find mac better in terms of setting up packages and tools, otherwise windows works fine.

If you want bigger storage then go with windows. If you are in to coding and freelancing then go with mac and additional ssd with it.

MacBook is overhyped. Just go with ThinkPad. You will certainly be happy.

Buy the new MacBook Air 15, it’s really worth the price. The screen and speakers are just astounding. I was a windows laptop (Gaming) user for the last 6 years, it wasn’t cheap, 1.15L laptop with i7 and 32G RAM and GPU. I moved to MacBook. I can say one thing, I’m not moving back. Never. The hardware feel you get is just amazing. It feels like a marvel. Windows laptops just feel like a prototype in front of this.
