Hey, sorry, I read only now. I am using a HP ZBook Firefly 15 G7. I recently reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch and upgraded to version 21H2 / OS Build 19044.1889, and it is better than it used to be. I can handle it fine. Earlier I had had Windows updates blocked for 1.5 years but the laptop became problematic when HP customized software sneakily passed through a BIOS upgrade.
I only tried the MacBook Air M1 in a shop. It looked okay, as the most recent iPhones did. I did not make a move and buy anything. I never tested an M2!
Anyhow, personal opinion, we all have "different" eyes/brain, so what bothers me may not bother you and vice versa. I do not think there is any device that stands up as problem-free.
