Macbook Air Purchase: Worth it for security reasons?

I appreciate your replies!

pg.user:

Your CPU vendor covers microcode updates, and your laptop vendor covers your bios firmware updates. Apple is not that special if you don’t pay too much attention to their press releases.

Oh okay. So you’re saying the Apple hardware and software integration is more of a PR marketing thing?

do it macOS is so much better than Windows it’s not even funny. bar gaming or windows only software, I can’t think of a reason to use Windows over mac these days. Pre-silicon, sure, but their new M series macs have changed the game.

There’s still a premium to pay when buying Apple hardware but it seems like the new Apple CPUs will receive security updates for a long time compared to the old Apple Intel CPUs?
