With portability and a quality display as top priorities, the MacBook Air presents a compelling option despite your long history with Windows machines. geometry dash
While the Lenovo Yoga 7 matches it on paper for sRGB coverage and resolution, Apple's Retina displays have outstanding color accuracy, brightness, and vibrance that bring content truly to life. This matters for photo/video work, but also general use. Once accustomed to a Retina display, it's hard to go back.
Processing power is not the priority here, and the M1/M2 chips in the Air punch above their weight class, compensating for lower cores with excellent optimization. The efficiency pays dividends through extraordinary battery life as well - easily getting 15+ hours for web browsing and office work. Lenovo's battery life is solid but not mind-blowing.
The seamless Apple ecosystem is also a major perk if you use an iPhone. Airdrop for instant file sharing, Handoff to start an activity on one device and pick up on another, shared clipboard, tighter Messages and FaceTime integration, and more perks enhance the experience.
Storage options are limited on the Air, but external SSDs are affordable to expand. And the ultra-slim, lightweight chassis makes it an everyday carry dream. It's smaller in every dimension than the Yoga 7 while offering a bigger 13.3" screen.
There will be a learning curve switching operating systems, but macOS is designed for consumer simplicity despite the power under the hood. And you can still run Windows via Bootcamp if needed temporarily.
Considering your primary uses - portability, display quality, and ecosystem integration - the MacBook Air gives you more of what matters. The power efficiency and optimization provide a bigger experiential bang for buck compared to Windows counterparts with higher specs but poorer integration. It's a big switch, but you may find the Air delightful.
