//This isn't against anyone who likes or uses Macs. I actually used a Mac to write this in particular //post, unlike usual where I use my Windows laptop. This is just my opinion and thoughts.
Apple makes some pretty cool stuff. I've used their products for much of my life, and my entire school is filled to the brim with them. And while their mobile devices are pretty cool and useful and have many advantages over Android, their computers simply confuse me.
This is because I grew up with windows, but even now they make no sense to me, even after one full year of using them at school. I, personally, dislike them. I STRONGLY dislike them. I actually see no reason to use them above Windows, and here are my reasons why .
Windows is more unlocked. Unlike Macs, in windows you simply have access to more usable and changeable features. I'm think it might also be open source, which only makes it even better. Now, this argument could be turned the other way around. Because of their less-changeable nature, Macs can be easier to use for non-technologically minded people, and because they are so locked down they make for great school computers. This isn't to say that if you use a Mac that you don't know tech, but it is true that you can simply do more with Windows machines.
Windows is more common. This actually has a variety of benefits. Because it's so much more common, more applications are made for it. A good example of this is games. There is a MASSIVE games library in Windows whereas Macs have close to none in comparison. It also has more 3rd-party support than Macs. Macs do have more 1st party support, Apple loves up its computers with a ton of accessories, but the ones they release (Mainly their mice) are actually quite bad. Again, the the other side to this is the fact that MANY viruses are coded for Windows, but very few are coded for Macs. This is why not many Macs get viruses.
Windows machines are cheaper. There's no getting around it. You can get a decent Windows laptop for about $400 to $500. A decent Apple made Macbook? Upwards of $800. Yes, you could compare things like the new Surface Book and a Macbook, which would be far more even. However, you can get comparable performance out of computers much cheaper than a Macbook.
Lastly comes the most bias part of all, I just like Windows more. It may be because I've grown up with it, but even after learning how to use Macs I still just like Windows more. There's nothing wrong with liking Macs, and they aren't outright inferior. Much like all comparisons, there are good things and bad things to both sides, and the Macs of the world definitely beat Windows Machines in many rights. But if you ask me, Windows all the way.
Hey, smell this. Does this smell like buttered pancakes?
Man, Dragons are weird.
