[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve always been a hard core Windows guy, but it’s really going down the toilet as it becomes more Mac-like. Is only going to get worse with Windows 11. Unless you are a hard core gamer go with a Mac. [/quote]

OVERALL:
+1  Mac!!   Earned my living at one point in life with only Microsoft products.  Generally, although they still have a use in server farms and there is legacy software that only uses Microsoft; for the majority of users, Mac is just an overall better experience and less frustrating.  However, there are exceptions depending on your specific needs.

PROS:
Once you get used to it - Macs are just overall easier for non-technical folks to maintain.  Very high quality software overall.

CONS OF MAC ONLY:
You probably still need to purchase Microsoft software.  If you or a child is an engineer, Mac has no effective equivalent to Visio.  I've looked for a while now.  Xbox-related apps willl also be difficult to run, since they are integrated into the O/S.

There are emulators that you can use on Mac (Google "best vm emulators for mac"), but you may not get the same overall performance, and you'll need to pay for software subscriptions (which is why you may end up having two laptops if you're into computers in college, work, etc.).

Hope this helps![/quote]
