But if you like Apple’s way of doing things, you won’t regret spending a bit more on a Mac. If you’re on a tight budget, Windows definitely delivers better value – and there are some fantastic high-end Windows laptops too. Some PC firms offer similar options – Samsung and Lenovo are particularly good at this – but not to the same extent. Apple’s integration between its different devices is really impressive. For example, in the Apple ecosystem you can start a document on your Mac, pick it up on your iPhone and then do a bit more on your iPad. EcosystemsĪn ecosystem is the wider world to which your computer connects. In terms of security and malicious software such as computer viruses, Windows is much better and safer than it used to be. Security and safetyīoth Macs and PCs have very good parental controls that make it easy to ensure your little ones don’t see anything they shouldn’t. Conversely, current Mac laptops can also run many iPhone and iPad apps. But in education, you might find specific apps such as stat-crunchers are Windows only. Most of the big-name apps are available for both macOS and Windows, so if you’re looking for the likes of Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Office you can get them for both. There certainly are some good free apps for Windows – and you can use online freebies such as Google Docs too – but you’ll have to find them yourself. These are all exceptionally good applications and they won’t cost you a penny.
One area where Apple still has the edge is in its selection of free apps that come with every Mac: Pages, a word processor Numbers, a spreadsheet tool Keynote, a presentation app GarageBand, for making music and iMovie, for making and editing videos.
Operating system and appsĪpple’s macOS used to be a much nicer operating system than its Microsoft rival, but Windows 10 and Windows 11 are vastly improved and genuinely pleasant to use. There are specialised gaming laptops and laptops that turn into tablets, laptops that are tiny and light, and laptops that have massive screens and equally massive power. But for Windows laptops the choice is so wide you could spend a month scrolling through all the models available.
