Are you a Mac or PC?
That has been the question raging on for the better part of three decades, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be stopping anytime soon. Windows is known for its totalitarian design and insane install base, yet Apple was the cool MacBook maker with eye catching aluminium designs and quirky ads poking fun at Windows.
How the tables have turned.
Microsoft has become a cutting edge PC maker with a 28-inch touch desktop and respectable laptop lineup while Apple is forcing users to live the dongle life. All of this begs the questions, which one is better?
When it comes to hardware, arguably Microsoft has caught up, but Apple is still Apple. That’s no slight to Microsoft, the Surface Book is a great design, but the MacBook has dominated this arena for the better part of a decade. The Surface Studio looks stunningly beautiful, but the iMac still holds its own in the battle.
When it comes to software, that’s where things even out. They both offer differing features and it really comes down to your preference.
Jon, who is a dedicated Mac user at work—his work machine is a 5K iMac—decided to switch to Windows and try it out. He switched to the Surface Book and has been using it ever since.
Did he enjoy the experience? Did he hate it? Is there even a difference between the two anymore? Jon found answers to those questions and more.
Check out the video above to see how it was to switch from Mac to Windows for Jon.
