whilst this is a late reply. I would not buy a dell pc[desktop] because of non upgrade-ability. Companies that use standard parts the way to go so the likes of scan, box or cclonline etc.

If I was going to buy a pre-built PC then i would go for Scan, been using Scan for years for different bits. But then, if I was staying with the P.c side, I would build my own again.

The more i play with Windows 11, the more my mind is going to a Mac, I can tell you, people thought Vista was bad, I think windows 11 is worse in some ways.

Chillblast, PC Specialist, and a range of other UK companies that build desktops / towers.

Go to Dell / Lenovo / Asus for laptops as you want world scale experience.

In MacOS 12.x Monteray you can no longer drag files from the Finder (file manager) in list view. That sort of insanity keeps me away from Mac.

I'm using Monterey 12.1 and have no problem dragging and dropping files in list view.

Have I misunderstood your problem?

Edit: As a matter of interest, if you don't use MacOS how do you know about this (apparent) problem?

Problem was evident yesterday on my friends M1 Macbook Air. Maybe it doesn't happen on Intel processors. My parents Mac Mini has the same problem.

I work in a team at work where 50% have Mac and 50% Windows machines; and I support many friends whom have Mac laptops. I own a Mac Mini M1 which is currently not in use as I have too much kit from the office for home working. My home PC is Windows, my work is all on Linux in the cloud.

I googled "can't drag and drop" but all the hits I found referred to problems on Windows. It certainly doesn't happen on my Mac mini (and I don't have such problems on my Windows computers either).

It’s a pain on the M1 MacBook Air, but no idea why.

Googling explicitly for "monterey m1 drag and drop" suggests you're not alone, but it doesn't seem to be widespread. Some suggestions (mostly relating to touchpad and haptic settings) in the results of the above might be worth a try.

Will pass on, thanks!

I sent this to a Mac owning friend who got herself another Mac , a M1 Imac and she has not seen the problem you have said about.
