Not exactly nocode related - MacBook Air or Surface Laptop 3

Folks. I’m in a bind and need some guidance.

I currently have a mid-2012 MacBook Air. It’s been a trooper, but it’s no longer cutting it. Definitely feels sluggish when I’m working (mostly in excel, sometimes InDesign, and a lot of chrome tabs). It’s worth noting that I’m building out a nocode app, which is why I’m here.

Should I keep going with the most recent MacBook Air or switch gears and go for a surface laptop 3? Looking for core i5, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd.

Performance-wise, the surface appears to be superior. Ecosystem-wise, I’m pretty deep with Apple (iPhone, iPad, etc).

I just can’t decide. Both are similarly priced. Guess it may come down to what will last longer?

Thanks in advance for any comments.
