SSD is soldered. But more than that, the storage controller is built into the SOC and the SSD is just plain flash memory. So even if you manage to swap it out, it will not work.
With the M series, they went full on non-standardised parts.
My friend who works for that green logo company been given a dell precision laptop. I wondered how much his config would cost. So I built it on Dell's site. With lovelace 3000 GPU and 128GB ram it came to f'ing 10L. I asked my friend how much is the battery backup, he happily said it's around 4 hours. He never had a laptop with this much of battery backup before.
Coming back to your point, yes, the base MacBook Airs do look enticing. But the rest of Apple's lineup is also not bad if you have a use case for it. We can have a 6L MacBook Pro that outperforms my friend's 10L Dell Precision in almost every department.
There's a void of serious-serious high-end business laptops in the Windows ecosystem.

Agreed, there's quite nothing that matches the Airs at their price points.
AirPods Pros and the Mac. I vouch for both. iPhone on the other hand? Terrible. I can't wait to switch to Android.

If a company can make the best-in-class laptops, makes you wonder, why would they make phones that are terrible? Perhaps yours is a edge case.
Macs cannot be upgraded. After market accessories exist and there are new 1TB M.2 in market for new mac mini but in hindsight 256GB is more than enough. I use macbook pro for my office work and mac air 13" for personal use. It's more than enough since you don't need to keep a lot of data locally. I use a few external SSDs and a baremetal server for most of my heavy workflows. Even for designing and video editing, 256gb is enough with external disks.
8 gb is not enough 6 gb is used by os it's self even apple fan boys are saying this (max tech) remember gpu is using ram ... & there is only some thing that can be done by memory swap it's not unlimited... other than that mac os is fairly easy to learn or u can remap keys or assign shortcuts using apps

When there is nothing left to counter with- "I don't have these issues, therefore they don't exist"
You always come in defend them. Is it that difficult to acknowledge that iOS is buggier?
And don't think macOS is being given a clean chit. Universal clipboard works 3/5 times. It's annoying. And the new System Settings? They ported the one from iPad and called it a day.
Oh and this is a top post on r/ios today.
I don't understand why you are running free PR for a multi-national corporation.
I got macbook pro 2023 last week and having trouble navigating it as I have used only the 2015 pro model 2 years ago for a short time. But things seem to become more advanced now. Can any mac os user give any pointers on these:
1. How to change display scaling when connected to external monitor? Texts and icons are appearing very small.
2. Is there any way to move the 3 button of each windows(or at least the close button) to right hand side
3. Any must have app you are using for navigation and control purposes. Like creating customised keyboard shortcuts.
4. I have connected external wireless mouse but the right click system is very different from windows.
5. Any way to make file transfer easier for Android devices when connected or wirelessly. And no I can't switch to iphone because I will have at least one android phone always for emulation. Also any way to run apps designed for windows like universal adb debloater.
6. Best free video editing app for mac os? I am trying to learn not an expert. Final cut pro was rs. 10000 additionally and i didn't want to spend that much for a thing I may or may not like after learning.
7. How to know if the macbook has actually turned off? Like how long does it take?

I don't think you can change the actual resolution of monitor easily on the mac. So, all the settings (such as larger text and More space) that you see in Displays in the settings app are just display scaling.
No

I don't think so. What do you think is different?
You can use "Localsend". Need to install it on both the Mac and Android.
Da Vinci Resolve free version works fine.
You don't need to. The battery will last months in sleep mode and I am not joking. Just close the lid once you are done. Don't shut it down or hibernate it.

- You can't, like windows. You are forced to change the resolution of the display/monitor to change scaling. I used to get the option but doesn't change the fact that it is a poor way to handle things.

I don't think this is correct. There is no easy way of changing the resolution of a display other than its native resolution.

If its how it is mentioned, then not a good thing to write resolution below that. Sadly can't check anymore. Somehow convinced my boss to replace my MBP for a Windows laptop (got Surface laptop 6, bad hardware for sure vs MBP, but at least OS is tolerable for me).
