I've been a windows user for my entire life (or at least since I had a computer).

Lately I've been contemplating buying a macbook.
Can someone give me advice/ pro's/ con's...

What I use my personal laptop for:
- programming (VSCode mostly)
- watching TvShows / Movies
- Playing minecraft (mc + mods will be the most heavy games played)
- Surfing the web

Why I'm thinking of buying a mac:
- mostly the battery life TBH
- compatibility with my iPhone
- (possibly for later) iPhone emulator (maybe XCode), It might be annoying to download some programs like Android studio, but trying to get a Mac OS VM with XCode on my windows is nearly impossible.

    - Xcode would indeed be a reason
    - MC is unpredictable, even on towers, so you would probably have to buy the ones with higher end graphics that make it unreasonably expensive, even in that range
    - What I find to be really useful is the terminal. You get bash just like on linux (not as a subsystem like on windows). Install homebrew as a package manager for missing commands like tmux, tree oder wget
