Thanks for the video and this is good lineup but is ignoring the elephant in the room: ARM chips have obsoleted everything else for now, and Windows is in the early days of transitioning to ARM and to a Googlesque spyware "you are the product" type of business model. The best recommendation by far for under $500 outperforms all these and has privacy, security, and amazing shared connectivity to your iPhone. A certified refurbished 2020 Macbook Air with M1 processor. It has a processor *at least* twice as powerful as all these, With Parallels. it can also run Windows faster than these machines. It sits at the top of all use-cases with the possible exception of a dedicated gaming-only machine. Memory analysis shows that an 8GB Macbook is roughly equivalent to 11.5GB Windows machine. For a little extra I highly recommend you go to 16GB which I'd recommend if you can afford it, equiv. to about 20GB on Windows. Now it's over $500 but when considering resale and device longevity, it's still a lower cost-of-ownership. Cheers
