Considering switching to Mac from windows, is it honestly worth it? I mean I don't plan on running heavy load models, but hopefully decent enough for it to handle midsize models.

no, I recently participate at a hackathon where I did a small ML project, I had my m2 macbook pro with me and and an i5 laptop with rtx3050, the latter was waay quicker (finished all the tasks in like 3rd time, some were even faster). other than this I never really used a macbook for similar purpose but based on this this experience I would avoid it and if I really needed a laptop for this I'd pick a strong "gamer laptop" for a similar price
