I am a very satisfied Apple customer, but will gladly tell you that a Windows machine would make more sense for the use cases you’ve described.

C# is the only odd item there. Entire companies are doing everything else in that list using exclusively MacBook Pros.

Isn't C# quite available on mac?

Yes and dotnet 6 (release date scheduled for 11/9, but is available now as rc2) works natively on the m1... REALLY quickly I might add :)...

I go between vs.code and JetBrains Rider (rider now has an EAP that runs natively on the m1)...

I am going to upgrade just because I didn't get enough ram the first time around :)

Other than the ML work maybe. The Apple chips claim to be very performant with ML workloads.
