Thanks for the viewpoint l. I've been wholly satisfied with my old MacBook, though, and thus don't think the overhead of switching systems is worth it for me.

Just out of curiosity, which Dell laptop would you recommend? Ideally a 14", light, and with good battery life. (I'll leave the more technical specs up to you)

The Dell XPS series are good, either the 13 inch or 15 inch, they don't have a 14 inch version. You could also get something with an AMD CPU (sadly Dell's are all Intel), the Intel ones have lower battery life.

I had a 2015 XPS 13 and it’s mobo died. It was disappointing but lead to one of the best support experiences of my life with a technician coming to my apartment to fix it for me.

Then the mobo died again 2 years later now out of warranty :(

My 2015 MacBook Pro is still going strong though :)

I am used to MacOS, and find Windows unbearable. Saying this as a former decade-long windows-only user.

I don't own a Dell right now but in the past I've had good success with the Inspiron series.
