Mac Book or Windows Laptop – Which is a better bet ?

As the prices are getting very closer at the higher end, professionals are moving more towards Open Source Operating System like Ubuntu; iPad, iPhone becoming gadget of everyday usage – professionals who are on the move are more searching and finding the suitable answer – Mac Book or Windows Laptop, which is most suitable?

Mac Book or WindowsLaptop – basically it has no single line answer. Cost of a high end Notebook PC, be it Mac Book or Windows Laptop, is just double of a high end Smart Phone. But, expectations from a Mac Book or Windows Laptop?is more than from a Smart Phone. We have published several posts on Windows versus Mac, many users and visitors has left their valuable comments in the posts that made us to think to write a Mac Book or Windows Laptop?post.

 

Mac Book or Windows Laptop – Think of Windows 8

 

We have to keep in mind – Windows 8 will have a biggest difference with other Windows OS – the EFI boot. So, for the multi OS users, it will be harder to create a dual boot PC, unlike it is very easy still now. As Mac uses EFI and Windows can be officially installed on a Mac, there is an option named boot camp to easily install Windows OS any version before Windows 8. Some enthusiasts have successfully installed Windows 8 Developer Preview on Mac with a bit hack and tweaking of the bootloader, but it is a question whether Mac will support installing Windows 8 with boot camp – the question is of the EFI Boot.

Any OS practically can be installed on any Notebook PC – but, the default or native support is a big question.

Most visitors agreed on the points for Mac Book or Windows Laptop

 

Most professionals has agreed, Mac Book Pro remains shiny after a period. The reason is the build quality – when one guest writer wrote “Mac Book Pro has better quality hardwares”, apparently, some users disagreed – probably he wanted to say “the build quality”, something what we rely about Nokia Mobiles.

Most visitors has agreed Mac Book Pro is too steep priced to be in the budget, making it a second option. Basically Apple is never on the price war – it is unlikely that Apple will reduce price significantly for any of their products. This situation actually pushes a percentage of users towards Windows Laptop.

 

Mac Book or Windows Laptop : Choosing the models

 

For the models, one will get lot of options (sometimes confusing to choose as well) for Windows Laptop – both model and feature wise. Mac Book has three models – Mac Book Air, Mac Book and Mac Book Pro. The pictures you usually see is either of Mac Book Air or Mac Book Pro. Mac Book Pro itself has three models (right now, 13 inch, 15 inch , 17? inch).

 

Advantages and Disadvantages of Mac Book or Windows Laptop

 

MacBook was the best-selling Macintosh in history, and according to the sales-research organization NPD Group in October 2008, the mid-range model of the MacBook was the single best-selling laptop of any brand in U.S. retail stores for the preceding five months.

– WikiPedia, from All Things D

 

You will get the hardware support for a conventional Windows Laptop almost everywhere – be it official or unofficial. In fact you can change the RAM yourself. For Mac Book, certain parts of the World, Apple has very limited support. Users from this area must understand this problem. But, but…without the extended warranty, replacement cost of major hardware components (like the motherboard) of either Mac Book or Windows Laptop is very costly. This is where any desktop wins the game.

Keep in mind, in order to upgrade your hard disk for Bundled / OEM Windows OS – you have to buy another License of Windows (Retail).

 

Mac Book or Windows Laptop - Which is a better bet

 

Mac Book or Windows Laptop – Ask for a physical demo

 

Apples provides physical demo of Mac Book. It depends on the reseller how in depth can be provided by the Windows Laptop. Here is Video from Apple for the new Mac OS users.

It is a matter of choice whether to buy Mac Book or Windows Laptop. I personally like Mac Book Pro 15 Inch model. 17 Inch is too big and suitable for the graphics designers.
