Is a Mac Worth It for Simplicity and Longevity?

Hey everyone, I’ve been a Windows user my whole life, but I’m seriously considering switching to Mac for the sake of reliability and longevity. Over the last few years, I’ve gone through a couple of mini PCs and laptops — none of them lasting more than a couple of years before slowing down or developing hardware issues. I'm getting tired of constantly replacing them, and my last mini PC lost a whole lot of data after the harddrive overheated.

Here’s what I actually use my computer for:

• 90% of my life runs through Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, etc.).
• I use apps like Slack, Discord, Zoom, and occasionally Notion.
• No gaming or heavy software — just need something smooth, fast, and reliable.
• I work remotely full-time, so dependability really matters.
• I love a clean, quiet, minimal setup with zero lag.

I’m currently torn between getting a Mac Mini (paired with a nice monitor), a MacBook Air, or a MacBook Pro (or would this be overkill?).

I like the idea of portability, but I mostly work from home — so I’m not sure which would give me the best balance of value and longevity.

Money wise I don't have a strict budget as I'll be putting it through my business so I'm not looking to scrimp and save, mostly get a decent, reliable machine that'll last me and my business for the next few years.

Has anyone else made the switch from Windows for similar reasons? How did you find the transition?

Also, is macOS friendly enough for someone who’s used to Google services and the Windows ecosystem?

Would love to hear your experiences or any advice!

EDIT: Sounds like I'm going to make the switch... Now to decide what machine I'm gonna get...
