Windows PC vs Apple MacBook Pro

[dj_jyno]

Apple MacBook Pro 15 (with high specs)

Since it's fully kitted out, I'd take the MBP, sell it and buy a secondhand ThinkPad. Unless I really like using the Macbook, then I'll keep it.

I'm a simple man with simple needs ...MacBook Pro please ...thank you (",)

I have been using Mac for a few years and I would not go back to Windows at all

For Free ? would try the MBP - see what the buzz is about.... will it really "just work" ?

Went from PC to Macbook and back. Can't wait to get a Macbook again - Windows 10 is seriously painful to use.

As I said elsewhere, in 2009 Windows 7 was just as good as MacOs. It was personal preference which one you liked best.

Now in 2017 MacOs have improved for 8 years straight while Windows 10 is hardly any better than Windows 7 (if at all)

As far as user experience, def. Macbook, but PC wins hands down as far as user friendly and compatibility

MS Surface any day. I am not a Mac hater, but to me the Surface range is so innovative and stylish yet remains practical. Can't wait to see if the surface phone lives up to the hype, I might even consider swapping my much loved IPhone.

New Macbook Pro. Just because I've never owned one.

Apple MacBook Pro

I have only used Windows and majority of my software is Windows related. The younger members of the family prefer Apple by far, so its time I upgraded and spoke their language!

 

[Gideonj]

Windows is what i know and I'm too old and cranky to start a new system now.

Without a doubt, MacBook Pro!

Never been an Apple fan - never got past the perception that their products are over-hyped and over-priced. If it runs chrome and eclipse it's all I need.

 

[GavGold]

Macbook Pro for sure. MacOS is slick and the performance & resolution is astounding. I use both on a daily basis and and I'm convinced that for work and administrative functions, streaming, etc. it's a no-brainer. The virtual screens are just the best

That said, for gaming, it sucks! For that - PC vs Console - I'm not sure. I don't game enough to know

 

[SauRoNZA]

MacBook Pro every time.

 

[DerekConradie]

MBP, tired of how MS does things. I want to choose when and if I do updates and what to update.

That's your reason for going Apple? Obviously don't know too much about it then.

 

[ClintonRV]

MacBook for free

Windows for the Win

I would take the Windows laptop. I might be one of the rare breeds that actually enjoy and prefer the latest Windows 10 version. Also mainly due to the usability in terms of available applications, gaming, support in terms of software,drivers, 3rd party applications and hardware devices. The new Windows 10 laptops being released are really starting to up the game. The Dell XPS and Acer Ultrabooks laptops more specifically, however, my favourite will have to be the MS Surface Book.

 

[Syl3r]

I would choose the latest Windows PC, especially if its DELL Alienware or ASUS ROG or the like.

 

[Christo123]

I would choose the MacBook Pro, I am a Xamarin developer and I already have a Windows PC to dev on but I will need an MacBook when I do iPhone/iPad applications and it is a bit expensive for me at this stage.
The price is the only reason I don't have a Mac, I do need one though.
