Thanks for your reply! I code primarily in C++ atm & really like my current workflow because I got used to it. I haven’t had any sort of issues developing on macOS, aside from one class requiring software only designed for windows, but I still have a decent amount of time to decide whether I want to keep my mac or not.

Yeah I really like my macbook and I know it will last for a long time. However, in my situation, my brother wants to upgrade his laptop, and I offered him the deal of giving him my macbook and he’d buy the framework for me. I know that I would be downgrading in term of specs, but being able to not worry about spending a decent amount of money if it gets damaged is really nice, even though it probably won’t happen. Regardless, if I decide to get the framework, I think I’ll be able to decide whether I want to keep it or not within the return window.
