Mac is overrated and you will have ergonomic problems if you don't use an external monitor. Mac is not readily compatible is most low to medium end external monitors by design. Go for Thinkpad with Ubuntu.

ASUS G17 Strix, Ryzen 7 4800, RTX 3070, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe

Attaches to my 3 monitors nicely (13 YO DELL 720p, LG Ergo 4k, LG Ergo UW 2K)

Stupid fast. Windows on base. Linux on VMware. Works like a charm for me.

Doesn't the different monitors screens mess up your flow? Like I would be super triggered if both my monitors were not identical.

Backend developer - Mac m1 air-78k INR. Once you go for a mac, you don't go back.

MacBook Pro M2 Pro because it’s a best of all worlds - really no weakness as per me

3k USD for the best. That's a weakness

I had a chance to use MacBook Pro M2 Max for 1 yr for backend. Trust me that is the best a machine can get. Blazes through anything you throw at it.
