I've had three Apple computers in my life, my Apple IIe, my Macbook Air, and I sold that to buy a Macbook Pro. I've only owned Windows desktops and Windows laptops before the Macbook. It's the best computer I've ever owned. Other than battery life, it's the same as the day I bought it.
My work laptop runs Windows 10 and that's really the game changer for previous Windows laptops

Just got a Macbook pro from work. IMO, it sucks massive balls compared to Windows 10. Lucky I didn't get an M1, those guys have it even worse trying to get dev environments up and they only support one monitor. Meanwhile I now have an MSI GS66 sitting idle that absolutely smokes this piece of shite. But policies and all, so what are ya gonna do.

I've used both. Apple makes a great product but the price difference isn't worth it imo

Rarely used any of the software on windows. Got a MacBook and will never go back. It's synced with my iPhone, very nice.

MacOS owns 15% of the PC market share. If macOS was better than Windows, more people would use it.

M1 MacBook here, love it. It’s all about personal preference to be honest. I have Windows computers as well and dread using them because I think MacOS is so much better. I find macs also tend to outlast Windows machines, Apple controls all the hardware for their machines vs Windows that can be thrown on a $200 Walmart laptop or $6k gaming machine.

At this point I'd never buy a Mac simply because I can't get text messages on it.
Seems crazy in 2021.

Not at all in today's world.

If you have an iPhone strongly consider going all in on a Mac. The smooth integration is great.

No.
Yes.
It depends on your usage case.
Ask better questions.

I personally prefer Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. We keep one Windows machine just for the rare occasion it is needed. Our Windows laptop is very rarely used and a pain in the arse in comparison having to deal with software updates and antivirus software.

I have several Apple devices. Apple TV, Airpods, Homepods, etc.. and I could never get into the Mac OS. Too pricey, didn't seem worth it, Windows 10 works fine for what I need to do.

Depends on what you're trying to do with it.

Is a 2k Mac better than a 200 dollar windows laptop with 4gb of ram and a spinning platter HDD?
Absolutely.
Is a 2k Mac better than a 1k Lenovo laptop, with a touch screen, 16 gigs of ram, SSD, and an i7?
No, not it's not.

Sorority girls and hipsters use Macs. People who work in the real world use PCs.

A PC has always done everything I've wanted to do.
A lot more software available, some very good free open source software too.
I think with Apple you are paying an extra sum for the name and the imagined prestige.

Macs really shine outside of using Microsoft apps such as word, excel and access. Also web base applications and web surfing are a wash. Email will be a similar experience too
