For most of the last 10 years I’ve been using a MacBook Pro for doing everything astro related. Processing was done with PixInsight but all image capture was done running either BootCamp or Parallels to run windows.
There are some programs that you can use to capture on a Mac, Nebulosity is one, The Sky X can be used for mount control and image capture. There are some other programs I’ve not used but have heard of but cannot remember off the top of my head. If you rely on ASCOM, forget it.
Over the years I did buy two cheap windows laptops but I never found either of them as capable as running windows on my 2014 MBP. It wasn’t even about computer speed, the MBP has a much better keyboard, mousepad and screen.
18 months ago I bought a mini PC so I don’t have to leave a laptop outside anymore, I connect to it via TeamViewer and can control it from either my phone or desktop.
