I owned a M1 MacBook Air and I was similarly impressed by everything mentioned in this review.
MacOS coming from Windows, not so much. A menu bar 'orphaned' from the application window? A 'File Explorer' (Finder) lacking basic functionality. Dragging a file download onto the Applications folder to install software (what?). Plugging in a 2K monitor to find it is unable to display at native resolution without installing third party apps. MacOS feels like it is some relic from the past.
EDIT: judging from the comments here, I accept it may be part unfamiliarity. Maybe I should give it another go. What resources would you recommend for someone new to MacOS?
