It’s interesting, I think I have exactly the opposite experiences here on a 2018 15” (personally owned) and a 2019 16” (work laptop).

For Bluetooth, I flat never have problems. I use Bluetooth headphones (Sony) and a Mac keyboard and touchpad, and they genuinely do just work - I don’t get spurious disconnects and everything sounds just fine. I have far more problems with BT on Windows 10 than on Mac - with devices failing to connect after the laptop is turned on and off, etc. Mac supports both AAC and aptX for audio codecs, too - so it works with pretty much any audio gear just fine.

It’s not going to feel faster on a single thread - because intel are not really any faster on a single thread. Having six cores is nice though!

The rest is all very subjective and it’s fair to have a difference of opinion there, though.
