MacBooks are pretty practical. ARM laptops like MacBooks have genuinely ridiculously good battery life; I was genuinely shocked the first time I used one.
Yes, ARM windows exists, but it’s clunky and has little support because unlike MacBooks, not all Windows laptops run ARM, so developers have little incentive to make ARM Windows versions their apps.
Used printers often require fixes that require you to be knowledgeable in to fix.
I recommend Bambu printers if you wanna dip your toes in the hobby. They’re locked down quite a bit but they just work. I think the A1 mini is excellent.
