I prefer my mac for daily use but I do have a windows PC for other stuffs. I have been using windows for a very long time and there are stable builds which can compete with a mac stability but the problem is to keep up with security patches and keeping them stable. I used to run a windows server OS as my daily PC and never rebooted it for 2 years, lol. Never had any issues with it. When I started going back to school I already have a windows based laptop but windows 10 is very unstable as a daily driver so I tried using a mac and it delivered exceptional experience. Yes, it has limited applications compared to a windows based computer but it is a good daily driver which is very stable out of the box. I could have tinkered with my windows laptop but I just don’t have time in my hand to tweak it and make it stable as a daily driver.

So, I'm a tech guy, front-end developer, been working in and using computers for a long time and I use macs... but for only one reason – mac OS.
I don't care about the "ecosystem" and often when I hear this as a benefit I tend to shake my head. "Oh I couldn't live without airdrop" -- um yeah you could, there are loads of ways you can get the same functionality on windows. "I love how my computer rings when I get a phone call / I love getting my iMessage messages on my computer too" -- you do? I can't stand it, that's something I turn off straight away but each to their own.
The reason I choose macs over computers running windows is because I prefer mac OS. That's it. Before you say that I probably haven't used windows I'll stop you there and say I have. I've used windows more than mac OS I'd say – I had a 386, 486, a P5 (pentium) and many more and some of my best memories using computers was in MS-DOS. But, all things considered I prefer the mac operating system to windows, so that means I buy macs.
Now, many of the things that people have said they don't like about macs or Apple in general I can agree with a lot of them – the anti-consumer stuff, overpriced (now with M1 it's the first time Apple can even enter the overpriced debate).. speaking of Apple silicon, the M1 soc is very impressive (I'm typing this on an M1 mac mini now) but I loved my intel mac mini and also my iMac because I could upgrade the RAM, so while everyone always said "I can upgrade my PC and you can't upgrade your Mac" I could push back (a little) and say well I can upgrade my RAM, but with the new SOCs looks like that will disappear too..
So while people have different reasons why they choose Apple products (to which they are entitled to, who are we to tell people what they should like or buy?) there are mac users like myself who know apple isn't perfect and we are more than happy to criticize them when it's due. But as long as mac OS keeps providing the environment that I prefer working in, I'll keep buying macs.
And if you prefer working in windows, that's great, I don't think you're stupid, or a sheep or dumb, you should download the version of windows you prefer and enjoy your computing experience.

The Ryzen 4800U has also a TDP of only 15 Watts, just like the M1, and still scores higher in Passmark, and around the same on cinebench. How about that?
And still gets a lot less media coverage, because there is no old fruit logo on it... It's a bit like the tulp mania in the 16th century.

It's about the hype and praise they get everywhere, which really is out of any relation if we take a look on what they offer for the money and how many bad anti consumer trends they started. Whilst adapt useful features way later. If you compare when other brands like sony offered waterproof flagships with stereo mics/speaker/steadyshot/battery care (and back then even better resoluting camera, which, under good lighting conditions might still be true if you see xz2 on compare tool) and so on and how late apple offered iphones with all that... Plus the snobbish and misleading marketing, they're literally fooling people, very successfully at that. Selling monitor stands for $1000 and people buy it because of the logo on it...Once they are locked in the ecosystem, they get milked even more because apple limits compatibility and uses proprietary standards. You can't even sideload apps. For tech people it's just a ripoff. And even for non-tech people, i'm not sure if the arguably good working ecosystem is really worth the price with all its limits for everyone, or if they just buy it because they don't know any better.

Cheap laptops always suffer from issues.
About M1 vs your Ryzen 5800H... M1 still gets a lot better efficiency(almost 150% better) and single core performance which is a must for Business laptop.
Finally I am not getting personal. It's you. Your consistent pushing a brand for simply not offering any other types of laptop is just dumb. If you wanna compare fairly then compare with the same category.
Think about Lenovo. A same brand with the same configuration/specification a Legion 5 costs almost 30-40% less than the Legion 7. Do you know why ? I've already explained that to you earlier.
If this doesn't put some sense in you then I have nothing to say to you.

Btw, how much ram does it have? Don't tell me you don't know how to find that out. And as you said, for now. Won't be the same in a few years. 8GB might be suitable for smartphones nowadays, but not anymore for notebooks (apart of lightweight office and browsing, video/audio consuming use, but then you wont need a CPU that strong and can just go with a $500 notebook...)
20 Tabs are really nothing. Powerusers and devs often have 100 Tabs or more open. If you want to test things in a local VM at the same time, it will swap already..

You are right, noone is forcing you to buy the business model. Only apple, because you always pay the comparable price to a business notebook, but without business features in it. And:
If you really think Macbooks are never built cheaply, you better watch some Lous Rossman videos on youtube..

With 8GB they are probably ever cheaper than your M1 Macbook now, and they can be upgraded with ram later, unlike your anti consumer M1 product..
