Mac or Windows laptop which one is better?

[Thunder Digitals]

Hey,

I am upgrading my laptop so I want some suggestions that which one is better in terms of speed.

just need it for office work.

I have one of the new silicon MacBooks and it is incredibly fast and the battery lasts all day.

But they are overkill for office work. You'll never use the power they offer.

Mac for sure.

Go for what you're used to work with. I switched to Mac last May and I still hate it. Windows has its flaws, but at least I know my way around them.

MAC Would be best !

Its all about OS not about hardware, think about which OS you know the best, shortcuts, keyboard shortcuts, management and stuff + think of the programs you are using daily. I've been using windows for ~20 years and then tried to run on Macbook - it was really nice looking OS, cool design, expensive feeling and it ended up like 50% dropping my productivity, all damn buttons on the wrong side, each time i wanted to click X i need to click it on the left not on the right + some colors and small buttons + no shortcuts are working no ctrl+c/ctrl+v, no button to quick show desktop, file system completely different, cant find my files and stuff - it was total mess, spent 1 week with very low productivity "learning" to use new OS and sold my macbook pro, bought lenovo got windows and working again full power.. If you will spent 2 weeks of customizing and learning new OS then no matter of the "SPEED OF LAPTOP" since you lost so much time that speed of laptop now doesnt matter anymore

PC Laptot is better because its cheaper and more repairable.

Mac with M1. The Macbook Air with M1 is incredibly good for its price.

A Windows laptop can be as fast as a Macbook and vise versa. It depends on your OS preferences, in my case i enjoy coding stand alone applications on my Windows laptop which I can run without any "certifications" which is pretty hard to run on Macbook since they are more secure.

Choose what you feel familiar with, in the end they are both used and capable of doing the same things

Linux > Mac OS > Windows
To be honest, nowadays they're all good operating systems/ platforms and there's only a matter of preferences/ needs nowadays.
If you're not used to working on Linux or Mac, just stick to Windows...your life will be easier

If you're just into work, then I recommend mac. If you're working and playing video games, then go with windows. Why?

MacBook. Even if it’s just an M1 air. I work on one all day. I also have Mac mini and two nice monitors I use for work. I can’t say enough good things about Mac. Best decision I ever made.

I rent a windows vps to use SEO software and other IM related software that are still archaically coded for windows only (most developers make windows and Mac apps now or is cloud based software). That’s what you’re supposed to do anyway.

I’ll never look back at a windows laptop, personally.

Mac with M1. The Macbook Air with M1 is incredibly good for its price.

I second this. Additionally, Mac Mini M1 is also spectacular. Both - fast, quiet, cold and reliable

go for Macbook, Windows computers are headache.

Im using windows 20 years, tell me how its a "headache" arguments please

 

[MisterF]

Go with whatever you are more comfortable using and know your way around, is my advice.
I use a lot of windows based tools and it'd be too much hassle trying to set up emulators etc, so I run Windows.

 

[randomstrings]

Go for mac.

 

[mikegeek]

I use OS Windows - comfortable.
I wanna learn Mac - That's going to take some getting used to

 

[xReminisce]

if you have never used a mac before, you are gonna have a tough time getting comfortable which will slow your productivity down completely.
