![]() At least with Intel chips, there’s too much throttling going on to do anything resource intensive like video editing with Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve. I don’t know 100% for sure, but I would be amazed if a current $1000 Intel/AMD notebook has the same level of performance as an equivalently priced M1 Mac. Yes, those Mac minis and Airs are faster, but that performance would remain unharnessed.I prefer macOS and Linux to Windows, but I am also a realist and know that a Windows PC is the only viable solution in my current job. At work, a lot of the software we use is Intel Windows only, so other operating systems are a non-starter – yes, some could run under Wine on Linux or under a VM on an ARM Mac, with WoA and Intel interpretation in the VM, but it isn’t guaranteed to work error free and it makes support that much more difficult, that many companies just won’t even entertain the thought of a mixed environment the employees are there to perform certain tasks and they need to do it as efficiently as possible, even if the OS isn’t the one they would prefer.Performance also isn’t an issue, we generally use 400€ Core i3 mini-desktops for most of our users, there just isn’t anything in Apple’s range that even comes close. ![]() Linux also suffers from this, to an extent, although different GUIs have different success rates at getting things transferred.At the end of the day, it really comes down to the software you use. ![]() With Windows, you have bits that are themed for Windows 11, more that are remnants of Windows 10 and Windows 8 look and feel, and, when you dig deep into the system, you have things that haven’t changed since Windows 95 or 2000 – including their look and feel. I prefer the consistency of macOS, something Windows hasn’t managed to recapture, since it went to Windows 95.When Apple bring out a new look, the whole OS gets the new look. I don’t really find that many significant differences, working on any of them, they are all very similar, from a user point of view. I use macOS and Linux at home and Windows at work. Mac however locks things down a little too much in some ways. Plus there are many features and options that Windows 10 had that are just no longer options in 11. Windows 11 has been a battery hit compared to Windows 10, and I have seen this first hand. IMO what Microsoft needs to do, and I do not see them doing this, is spending more time on attention to details in Windows and finishing so much unfinished stuff. Windows does give you full visibility from a management side more than Mac.Overall they are both good. The next version, Ventura, will bring enterprise features such as SSO into the native OS so this makes things a little easier. Messaging and apps work across the platforms generally better.From a security side, yes macOS can be managed but it is limited. The biggest pro is almost the reverse of that in that macOS has many integrated features that if you are in the iPhone ecosystem work better. The biggest con is that I am not using the same thing as everyone else, so my experience is different in almost every way unless it is web apps. Being honest, there are pros and cons to this. I am a Mac user is a 99% Windows environment.
