Not sure why you are down voted so much. I have a Mac for work, and I'm told that the chips are literally the fastest thing you'll experience. By a margin.
I have 3 different security scanners forced by security and it is much slower than my personal Linux Lenovo. Even just the basics with UI responsiveness that in my experience Macs have always been pretty good at, to the detriment of applications.
My experience of the ARM Macs has been through work, I personally owned Intel Macs and they were generally crap but felt faster than this.
This heavily depends on your company "policies". In general, it is not even really IT's fault - most of them would like to optimize performance and user experience, but the C-suite has mandated shit on your computer.
I’ve just always experienced them as a road block. They’ve only ever wanted to make their jobs easier. They’ve never wanted to enable me and make my life easier.
If you have 3 security solutions installed and get pwned, oh well, it's not your fault. If you had none and get pwned, you get the blame, even if the attack vector wouldn't have been protected by most security solutions.
