Is Window Laptop Better Than Apple Mac?

Tags: Apple, Microsoft, Windows

I am a professional blogger and need a good laptop for my writing tasks. Sometimes, I also need to perform MS Office-related work. So, I got confused about what would be best for me: a Windows laptop or an Apple Mac. Please give me suggestions that will help me make a good decision for my blogging activities.

Since blogging is done in a browser, and you can run Chrome in both Windows and in MacOS, I would say both are equally good for you.

MS Office also has both a Windows and a Mac version, so that doesn’t really make a difference either.

Pick the one with the best keyboard. And even that does hardly matter if you use an extern keyboard most of the time.

I agree that from your description, a Mac or a Windows/Chrome laptop should work about the same. One of the big differences is how long you want to use the same machine. For instance, Mac computers don’t seem to need to be replaced as often as Windows computers. On the other hand, Windows/Chrome based machines tend to be more economical from my experience.

Your OS preferences should be the most important factor involved. For instance, 40 years ago you couldn’t convince me that Apple OS (I started with the original Apple II computer) wasn’t the best OS and today, all my computers run Windows or Android OS.

The current line of Apple Computers short of the new M1/M2 models can boot and run Apple OS, Windows and I’ve seen Linux as well. So maybe you can have it all with an Apple Mac!

MacBooks are superior when it comes to build quality and the UNIX-based MacOS operating system. Windows laptops take everything else, including the ecosystem. The only reason you should choose a MacBook over a Windows laptop is if you want to be comfortable inside that Apple garden.

Apple doesn’t always have better build quality.

Do I really need to talk to you about their keyboard design failures or where a connector inside placed a voltage pin next to a pin that if they short it kills the machine? Both and more happens so only the ones with the Kool Aid think Apple means quality.

If you do your research you can avoid their dud models.

Doesn’t that depend on the work? Or do you think that a Windows machine is better than a Mac machine for ALL kinds of work, and there is NONE AT ALL where a Mac is better?

Apple has too many models that have issues.
