"Windows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11." Yea, Windows 9 was my favorite too, dude
TrevForPresident Nah, I prefer Win11
Vista and 8 had a baby, they named her 9. It's on their website.
Windows 9 does exist.
lol he was joking. sad to see humor goes over your head
windows 9x exists :) without any jokes... it really does
I've never owned a Mac but I'd love to get one. The problem is - I can't afford it. I've had enough of Windows. Too much to maintain.
Try to buy a used MacBook Air that is about two or three years old. It shouldn't be too expensive.
Make a Hackintosh
Peter Windle I've seen some on eBay. They are not far off from buying a new one.
BOBlibob I was looking at MacBook Air 2012 model. They're only a few £100 off.
lordhelmchen100 I haven't spent much time on a Mac. I don't know much about it.
I was once a Windows user. I never miss those days.
Switched to a Mac in 2011 never going back to windows Mac os is so much better than the windows os in my opinion but windows 10 isn't bad
Yeah and a thing so many people tend to forget is that it most of the time comes down to personal preferences. I prefer macOS, some prefer Window and some prefer macOS but can't afford it because (and even Apple enthusiasts like me can't deny this) Apple products is expensive.
But saying that buying Apple products is stupid just dumb.
mix in a comma
Inferior for programming, what the hell you programming?? I'd love to hear your professional programming reason, do tell. Apple tries to end to end encrypt everything, do you just look up words and then throw them out there?
dodekeract - Sure I know what it is, you assumed it was used in your example, it isn't. As for Node.js, used it a few years ago, it's ok. As for C compiler thousands use it everyday with little issues, maybe you're doing it wrong. Not trying to be a jerk but I know lots of people who write code, they seem to have no issues using compilers unless of course, they screw up.
+Jonatan Søgaard you forgot some don't like the apple expierence so they switch back to windows or linux
People who call Mac OS garbage probably never used Mac OS ! So don't say something that you don't know is true !
I hate the stupid Windows vs. Mac OS debate. I just dual-boot because I like both of them 😃
agreed!
Same here
Quad boot here ! (Win, OSX, Ubuntu, Android :D)
Which one do you like most though?
+MotionPlays Neither. They both have their pros and cons. That's why I dual-boot.
People tend to hate what they don't have...
Interesting take. I'm sort of surprised. I'll spend some time thinking about what you said.
The British accent is strong with this one.
Ever heard of Australia?
Seriously are you people trying to compare Windows with macOS? I bet you've never touched a UNIX system before.
lol
very informative ! Thank YOU .. Used the information for a paper !!
Also I absolutely love the more professional, thought about/scripted videos they are much more informative. Keep it up! :)
Thanks for making this, it's frustrating to see so many people blinded by their hatred for Apple.
Have you ever thought about blinded people by their love to Apple. How you know you are not one of them?
@@octap79 Because most Mac users have experience of Windows and PCs, whereas most PC users have absolutely no experience of Macs, despite how easy it is to walk into an Apple Store and simply try one for as long as you like.
The choice is based on experience.
Mac OS is perfect organized for work and Windows is for Games, that's all!!
Agree
are you deaf? Can a windows computer sync notes, music, texts, calls, calendar, and photos with built in apps to your phone? I like both operating systems and I think windows is 100% always the way to go with gaming with Xbox integration but they both have their pluses and minuses like it or not. Personally I prefer Mac OS and do gaming on Xbox.
Oh yes, that's why 9% of businesses use mac computers. Because they are obviously superior for that kind of thing! YOU MORON.
Well structured Adam, nice and easy to understand and some very very valid points. More videos like this please!
You explained the pros and cons of windows and macs very well. Thanks
I'm amazed you didn't mention Final cut optimization! That also makes macs cheaper, mainly because you don't need insane hardware to decently edit videos. That's a huge reason in my opinion.
And just software/hardware optimization in general
Not to mention the cost of fixing a viruses infected windows PC as well as the cost of the anti-virus software.
+TheTCOLL viruses aren't that common. I've been using Windows for years, and I've never encountered any.
Not per se. It's just final cut pro that is known to work insanely well on even very low end hardware. Except for that, I have not encountered a program that I use that works anything but equal on an Mac when compared to when on a Windows.
For a good laptop, take a look at the Asus UX305. Spec-wise it is better than the Apple MacBook, benchmark wise too, size-wise too, batterylife-wise too and it also has an perfectly calibrated display right of the bat while costing only 699 USD. Windows based machines are just starting to play catch up to Apple's machines, but for less than half the price while retaining the Apple-quality.
I agree. Also I often hear people saying that if you bought a Windows PC with the same specs it would be much cheaper (which is partly true) but look at ZenBooks. They have similar build quality and are almost as sleek as Apple hardware and they are almost as expensive. When you buy a Mac you pay for good build quality, a good OS, software/hardware optimisation and more, which you simply won't get with cheap Windows plastic shitpiles (not that I'm saying there aren't good PCs and that Windows isn't a perfectly fine OS). For me at least I am certain that Mac is the right option but that is different from person to person.
1) Point I think that you forgot to mention or at least one that applies to me especially is macs run for a lot longer than PC's without any problems!
My first Macbook Pro spent around 98% of its time turned on for the best part of 5 and half years.
In comparison to my old windows laptop I managed to burn out 2 motherboards in space of 5 days!! And it was dead after only 2 years maybe 3.
Macs are built to last and run forever and ever :)
I agree, a good example would be, I got a windows laptop (from Lenovo) and the hinge broke after around 1 year of use, now I'm writing this on a MacBook that has been functioning fine since 2011 :P
+Hoi_A Exactly Macbook Pro is more expensive but build quality is far superior to any Windows laptop! I've got a new 2015 Macbook Pro which is only like 2 months old and it's insane against my 2009 Macbook Pro which finally decide to die on me.
+Hoi_A well I have a laptop from Lenovo too for over four years now and it's still fully functioning and also not broken :D
Back then it was like 600€ I think.
The battery is becoming weaker and weaker but this happens on a Mac too that's just chemistry
kenoalbatros I belive its a generally shit model that I bought tbh, ive seen multiple similar complaints online.
you can't make that arguement because most users of both systems have different expeirences. for instance my pc has run for 6 years without any problems while my cousins 4 year old macs just kept expierence ng bugs and her hdd failed
Sometimes I just stare at the background trying to focus on items in your room, been a sub for a while and the transition has been phenomenal!
Love the videos. I have a 2013 iMac and 2012 macbook Pro and still running El Capitan on both. Debating to update to High Sierra, Mojave, or stay with El Capitan. Any suggestions?
Apple gets so much shit lately, it's just annoying. Thanks for being a voice of reason on the internet.
What I like most about Apple is its user base - we can enjoy products from our camp without feeling the need to trash talk the competition 24/7.
i love programming on osx but i love using windows for gaming/media. both have their areas where they shine more than the other. i really think it comes down to personal preference nowadays. both OS are good imo
I guess the term media you're implying to is installing apps like Netflix, theCW, Hulu etc for Mac. But Apple's going to port almost all iPad apps to Mac so media won't be a problem from now on. Still gaming is a problem.
Extremely interesting video! I too work with Windows for my career (Software installation, configuration and training). I started out on windows like most people, and was a hard core gamer for the better part of two decades. What I found most interesting about your video is that four of the five reasons you gave for preferring MacOS over windows are the same four reasons I've given numerous times to people who have asked me about why I use the Mac OS on my personal hardware when my career centers around Windows. Sometimes it's nice to have our thought processes more or less validated by hearing that a fellow professional has arrived at the same conclusion as one's self for many of the same reasons. I really enjoyed watching this one Adam. Please, do keep up the good work. I don't often take the time to comment on your videos, but I do watch and enjoy them regularly. Thank you! :)
Thanks for this video. I am using a Mac mini from Mid 2011 and I have been thinking of going back to a Windows computer because my Mac mini has been doing some strange things over the past couple of months. It will reboot all by itself, after rebooting, Chrome will open all by itself and close all the open tabs I had been using. When I turn off my Mac mini and restart it again the next morning it will reboot four or five times before it actually loads the operating system and brings me back to my desktop where I can start using my computer again. The reason I was considering going back to Windows operating system computers is because they are less expensive than the present Mac comparisons. Since watching this video I feel it will be a better choice to stick with Mac, now which one should I buy?
Can anyone tell me which is better for bba students mac os or windows ??? Im really confused
Although i can only afford macbook air 2018 ( please consider this also )
IMO if you are not into gaming macbook is a great choice. I switched to mac 1 year ago and i dont think i'll go back to windows.
I think you should get windows coz windows can do pretty much everything that Mac does and not just everything windows can do more than Mac OS
Once you go Mac, you never go back!
Except for the millions who switched to pc
Haven't heard about many Mac to PC switching! .. PC sucks -> except for games.
mr boombastic I just know a lot of people who switched to pc for many reasons including but not limited to gaming
Actually not true, I had a macbook pro, but it got stolen. And now im really really thinking about going back to windows. Not because I hate mac os but simply because I get much more for the same amount of money (aka Dell XPS 15 near 100% Adobe RGB 4K screen and expandable to 32GB ram) and windows has finally turned around after the fiasco of windows 8/8.1.
I switched back to Windows after years on a Mac. Not just for gaming. For $1200 you can get an epic PC or an entry level Mac. That's a fact not an opinion.
In this couple of years, i have learned so much from your videos Adam, and i hope that i'd learn even more. Also i watched a video way before, when you also explained why you use mac OS. People should watch more of your stuff, maybe they would learn thing or two, as i did. All best Adam.
I recently bought a mid 2010 MacBook pro with a dual core processor the previous owner said it was too slow. I switched out the HD for an SSD and that thing runs like new
I feel ya man... I was an AVID Windows user until 2008-into-2009... but once I "got it", got into MAC OS... I was glued... I even started off with Parallels, that desire to use windows just faded away... now Im partnered with MAC and dont want anything else.
HOWEVER... NOW that i need to be more MOBILE with my photography/design work... I LOVE my mac pro, iMac 5k 27" (32gb RAM, 4gb VRAM, 4.0ghz |up to 4.4ghz| quad core processor, 3TB fusion drive) and ALL my mac computers have lasted 2-3 times LONGER than ANY windows based computer I've EVER had!! Im not 100% pleased with the iPad Pro, although I LOVE IT... but i need to use the FULL #ADOBE applications, rather than just MOBILE version for my work.
Now I can get another MacBook pro, BUT... i want a TABLET that I can use the touch screen for my photo touch ups, and such... So I've been looking at the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (top of the line ones though) for my work on ADOBE, because I can store ALL my work in DROPBOX and CREATIVE CLOUD, and I can still access my ICLOUD account on ANY web browser at www.iCloud.com! that's amazing... I can still use Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc...
SO... that's where I am now... I just WISH APPLE would make us a touch screen MACBOOK PRO or something equivalent to where I dont have to use TWO devices for working "on-the-go". :-/
I havent bought a windows-based pc in ten years so Im nervous.
I have always wondered if using Windows on a Mac would open it up to potential viruses. I have had a Macbook pro for over 6 years and never had a virus. On Windows I would usually get one within a year.
***** gosh for real right!?! LOL
TheTCOLL I've actually ran windows through #parallels on every mac i've had except my mac pro... but nowadays i really don't have any purpose of using it. That's why I've been hesitant with this SP4, BUT... now with EVERYTHING I do being cloud based, i think i can actually work on ANY machine and ANY OS to get the job done! So, we'll see! lol
Wow, yeah, gotta love that "4.4ghz" quad core processor and 4GB of VRAM, funny how the computer still runs like shit LOL, especially when it comes to rendering
DankMusic Not mine... my 4,4ghz, 4gb VRAM, 32gb RAm and 3tb fusion drive is rendering 3D graphics like a BEAST... all hd monitors.. most of the time, the true reason is the owner/operator has something fucked up IN their computer they need to fix... that's what i always had to do when something wasnt working right... and usually was something SMALL, too... that makes you feel dumb afterwards haha
My friend, Oxford Machine Learning Master, has always used Windows and was very Anti-Mac, however, after his research he totally claims MacOS is the ideal for his programming and machine learning work. I was pretty surprised.
Fantastic and so helpful . Thanks
Thank you! Finally someone that understands the specifics of these operating systems and comparing them very well and honestly.
"Maybe Sometimes" OOH ADAM YOU CHEEKY LAD
I've been a Windows user for more than 15 years, and I don't know if the people saying macOS is garbage either haven't even tried macOS, delusional, or brainwashed to hate for no reason. Windows is good for gaming, but pretty much garbage for everything else, whereas macOS is balanced and has a strong point in the creativity / productivity side. Another reason why macOS is so good is the ecosystem and how every OS running on different Apple devices can interact with it as if they're one device.
I prefer macOS but I wouldn't say Windows is garbage in anyway. I must say that Windows 7 in many ways is than 10 (in my opinion, I don't like the whole tablet/PC hybrid thing) but for work both is perfectly fine for a lot of people.
But you've got a point as there are some very good video/music editing programs that only works on Mac.
Good points but don't say Windows is garbage. Windows works for many people and therefore it is not garbage. I have always used Windows and it works well for me.
Abdulai Bah The main reason why Windows works for many people is because it's more accessible and is compatible with more games than Mac, not because it's a good OS. It works most of the time, but that's about it. Someone who's not familiar with managing files, registry, and keeping the hard disk clean is most likely gonna slowly kill the PC, and by "kill" I mean slow everything down until it's nearly unusable. An operating system shouldn't slow down when non-tech savvies use it.
raykrislianggi - AniMusic I have a problem with that as well and so I always dual boot with Linux. Windows 10 is attempting to address that by lettinng users do periodic factory clean up without loosing files. That said owning a computer means one should be able to do basic clean up periodically otherwise there is no need to own one.
+Abdulai Bah Good point.
How do you sell your Mac? Ebay, or maybe Recycle at Apple?
Dude!!! Thank you for this video! I'm a convert to Mac since 2013 but recently my MBP crashed....Steep prices for a new Mac really have me with one leg back in the Windows realm....but most of what you listed keeps me firmly planted with Mac OS. I think I will come back to watch everytime I feel tempted to 'slip to the other side again' lol! Cheers
I started on an Apple II then went to PC around Windows 3.1.. Then around 2006 or so switched to OSX as XP was getting stale and Vista was a bomb.. Working in IT like yourself since the 90s Ive been around and learned to love my Mac. But with that being said now its 2016 and to be honest... Im starting to fall out of love with OSX or MacOS I truly feel its starting to fall behind the curve.. Sure its stable and runs flawless with no virus's I really have and still enjoy it. But I cant help being a power user very frustrated, Some tasks in Windows are so much faster and I feel like OSX is moving more towards an OS like IOS where they are hiding all the operating system stuff. I want my computer to still " BE A COMPUTER" Just to get a file path is a complete pain in the butt.. Option Click "Copy File as path name " , You cannot modify any of the new Macs much ( i have a 2011 so i was able to add ram and an SSD ) but new ones you really cant modify anything more than ram. If I want to cut & paste a file, Well I cant i have to copy and paste and then delete the duplicate file. On windows in any window even if I am in say MS Word trying to open a file I can right click, create text file or open in a new window from anywhere. I really wish Apple just made a nice bare bones unit because although I can build a hackintosh at any moment something can go wrong and for my main machine I cant be bothered.. Again guys dont want you to think im bashing ive been using OSX for the last 10 years constantly and love OSX but i feel Windows 10 is phenomenal and in some ways better these days, Esp if your a technical person your not going to have issues with virus's and crashes. Keep OSX a desktop operating system and stop hiding the file system, It just ircs me how fast and productive I can be at work on Windows 10 for some things that are many steps on OSX, I enjoy both OS's very much just lately been flirting with the idea of going back to Windows being a power user and IT nerd.
Just to clarify some stuff:
- cmd-opt-c will copy the file path
- cmd-opt-v will move the file instead of coping it
how are you an IT nerd again?
"Maybe sometimes"
That was adorable!
Totally agree with all of what you have said. Interesting on the running cost. I hadn't thought of it that way. Good honest video.
You make very good points, cheers!
Majority of the Mac haters are bias and have never used Mac os... Switched to a Mac in 2011 never going back to windows- Mac os is so much better than the windows!!!!!
Nah, not really
i actully like mac and i want to use it for my high school. Fortunally thats 2 years away so apple will fix macs where they need to. Mac is fast small and light
Do you have a video on how you setup 6monitors in your mac?
Awesome video! :) It's really nice that you have so much knowledge about this kind of topic!
My top 5 why I am going to leave macOs and go to Windows. To give you some perspective, I am a professional illustrator / matte painter working with Apple for many years.
1) Apple lost focus on their creative user base. Lets say Apple shifted to consumers and i cant blame them. Follow the money!
2) The only headless Apple i can buy is 3+ years old. I am not a fool Apple. No single word from Apple so far about a update. Very customer unfriendly. I could go to 2nd hands but i refuse.
3) I have configured my Mac Pro and end up with a 5600 euro machine. Without an keyboard. I have configured a high end PC for 3000 euro and will outperform the Mac Pro painfully. The gab is to big.
4) OSX and Windows are not that different anymore than many years ago. I will mis OSX tho.. but i think i will enjoy Windows 10 too.
5) By the lack of choices, I only can go for an ATI in Dual gpu. Most of us designers, painters, 3D builders need / want Cuda to speed up processes. U can argue if Cuda will die some day or not. Its well implemented these days in software we use at this moment.
Many in my sector switched to Windows. I dont care about a slick looking super small form-factor computer where i need to connect everything extra with a cable. Why was Apple so busy with that and not by creating the best workhorse out there. Its a very good FCX machine. So its looking like Nintendo. Great for their own software.
Exciting times for me with a PC coming up. With the knowladge that I have a very very powerful system onder my pencil, I feels very positive. In the end, all i want is to do my job without waiting on my system to calculate shadows, lights, renders, live previews, etc.
ps, for everyone els who is doing so basic fun like browsing, etc.. nothing special.. go for a iMac! It fits in every living room.
This video shouldn't be "controversial" and he shouldn't have to start every second sentence with an excuse. Have you ever seen a video where they trash Apple and make this amount of excuses? No, we ended up in a place of one-sided bullying against Apple and their users. And I'm sick of it. I hope everyone who reads this and agrees with me will join me in giving all those trash talkers more resistance in the comments.
I don't care to go around protecting Apple bro. But I agree with what you're saying. If people don't want to see that let him be dumb. More Mac OS for those who choose to enjoy. And you can run Windows and Boot Camp or Parallels which you cannot do on a Windows PC without super complicated Hackintosh. Windows will always be more popular and will always have more ravenous people in the comments defending it because of that. I agree with the Apple bashing when it comes to phones though.
If you want to "enjoy", then Mac, if you want to add all your peripherals and make an actual work, then Windows. But both OS have their severe flaws, each in different aspects.
Macs are for losers ;)
It's just the price it's crazy.
facepalm
Point 4 about Mac being flexible, so how do I stop my dock from swapping between screens and then I have to hover on my main screen at the bottom wiggling mouse to get it back?
Great video! You said about virus problem. I love that point in Mac. My question is, How much is the frequency of MacOS shows us Errors of Missing dll Files & things like that? I mean what's the frequency of software compatibility errors?
i've had my mac for nearly 4 years and i haven't had a problem with it. But I had a Windows laptop for 3 months and it kept going wrong.
Macs are better for creativity and development. PC is better only for gaming. But since people only care about games anymore, I guess that doesn't matter and PC is automatically better... 😒
I am getting a Mac because I want to be a developer and it is way more powerful and better in that regard, as well as every regard except gaming.
And no you don't have to convert everything from PC files to Mac. It supports word and word files and that sort of thing. Also, since Apple doesn't let you build your own, they can fully optimize the operating system for the particular device like they do with iOS. Never underestimate that.
I cant count the amount of times ive heard idiots make this statement, OSX is not better then windows/linux especially linux in anyway and IF you ever actually become a developer you will see why.
+advent child I am a developer right now. And I think OS X is better. It's easier to move around files, use the terminal, and Xcode is a great platform.
Asher Peterson what you think and what is, don't equate, xcode is just another IDE and its def. not better than visual studio, I dont think using a terminal has varying diffculties and you have yet to mention an actual advantage of OSX
I have been looking at getting a surface pro 4 for a while but I'm more coming round to getting a MacBook or MacBook Pro and dual booting it, looking to move into the Cisco world soon and think this will be the best fit for my to get a good work/play balance
I had an iMac 2007 the other month that I flipped, but I played around with it a bit with El Capitan. I only used it for about a week or so, but my issue with it was mainly the windows management. I just couldn't stand how it made windows fullscreen in a totally new workspace. I'm sure there's a workaround, so I'm thinking about hackintoshing my Alienware Alpha just for fun. I love linux distros like Elementary OS, but they tend to have little bugs and such and keep me from doing any media work.
maybe sometimes :))
Alright you've convinced me I'm switching over to Mac
Your opinion is humble and well thought out. Thank you!
4:00 I agree with your point, but it also means you can buy a windows machine cheaper than its mrp compared to macbook in 2nd hand.
I just recently got a Mac and jesus christ... I'm never using another Windows computer again.
Well deserved judging from your photo.....hipster
I find Windows too much work for a home computer! Constant upkeep of drivers, software and yearly reinstalls is tiring.
Now that I no longer have the time I had when younger, and no longer game as much - a mac has been spot on for my needs and it's so much painless.
I still use Windows at work daily.
Exactly my thoughts, mate! Great breakdown!
Yea I'm NEVER spending $5k-8K on a PC I learned my lesson I lost a lot of money when i sold my PC, $6K PC only 1 1/2yrs old only got $1,200 for it no one wants to buy old technology and so much new technology came out during those years I had my PC it was just freaking hard getting half my money back on the PC, My 2013 Mac Pro 12-Core had it for 3yrs just recently sold it for $5500 not bad for being a 3yrs old computer that cost me $8500 you will never get that on a 3yrs PC, For now on I'm just going to buy a Mac and just put windows on it. Stay tune I might buy a 1080GTX for my 2010 Mac Pro 12-Core and they say Mac's can't be upgraded myth busted
I feel ya. My hackintosh ran me about 1500, and a year and a half later, I was only able to sell it for about 600 bucks
If you are a businessman buying and selling computers then yes go with what makes you money. For the rest of us we are looking a computer that serves our needs therefore we are happy with our PCs.
Abdulai Bah
You are only happy until you use OSX and realise how fucking crap windows was all along.
OSX is superior unix like to windows by fucking light years.
It's the most comfortable unix like for serious use out there.
Hanniffy Dinn Calm down. It's a computer. OSX is the best thing to ever happen in this world. We know that. But keep it at a very safe place. Like a diamond. Never let anyone touch it...Windows and Linux. Dual boot. For us. Not for you.
Abdulai Bah
I use ubuntu, windows and OSX. The fact is OSX is still the most friendly unix-like out there.
You can see many distros now,like elementary OS copy the OSX style.
There's a reason why they are the fastest growing distros fuckface !
Overall, I have the most stress free time on OSX.
i use Windows only, because Apple macbook is too expensive.
that's the only reason i dont use macOS
King31395 but you know, the problem of second-hand is you never know what's the real problem of that second-hand.
Can you please post a link to the wallpaper in the screens in the background?
I want to get a macbook pro 15 inch but not sure if to wait for the 2016 model to release. Any thoughts?
If you want one with standard USB ports, go ahead and buy your mac now! If you just want the newest and probably the one you want to have in the future when USB-C is well implemented everywhere, you want have the 2016 model.
I love my mac, switched in 2009 and never looked back. Windows is great for some things but to me, Mac is the system i prefer :-)
"I've owned hundreds and hundreds of PCs"
Yeah, sure.
Anyone who has run a studio for a few years will have gone through a lot of computers.
We are not all gamers squatting in our mother's basement.
@@peterbreis5407 if you are running through computers that fast you have a problem like a serious problem.
@@zachsteele6964 You Really, REALLY have no idea do you!
Zach Steele its easy to run through hundreds of computers when you use windows. Every time i had a windows computer i some how get a virus that kills it or when i get anti virus software it slows the computer down to the point its unusable. Unlike my mac computers never got a virus and i can use my computers for many more years than a windows computer
Great vid Adam!!! I switched to a Mac in 2003 and never looked back for the the same reason of wanting something different when I get home from work. Not to mention I was at the time an active musician trying to get through the process writing, recording and editing one song when everyone was switching to the (in the box) way of composing with Cubase and such. This was a nightmare driver wise and not productive unless you were willing to fork out the money every six months to upgrade your system. Also I worked in corporate retail for many years and every department that was responsible for anything creative, be it drafting advertisements, photo ops or what have you....they had used macs. I asked why and you can imagine the responses. Just my 2 cents....greetings from Ohio..
Amazing true detailed video. Nice work.
Thinking of selling my 27" iMac and building a custom gaming pc...thoughts anyone???
mainly editing, rendering etc...around £700-£800
Aye thanks for the detailed reply man but I meant I'd have about £700-£800 for the PC tower itself in total with monitors I have a budget of about £1400. Do you have any recommendations for graphics cards? I've looked at the Radeon RX 480 but that's quite expensive.
Go for it! Building a custom PC is awesome as you'll never have to buy a new PC. You can always add what you want when you need it, which is just a ton cheaper than buying a new Mac just because you want a better CPU.
JustJackJoseph Yus
You are smart dude
#Windows95FTW
I heard that they're going to do away of the macbook air. With that in mind I was thinking of the 12 in macbook. Have you reviewed that yet?
Totally agree with your top 5. My number one is the same as I've worked mainly with Windows based PC's all my life and one day just got so fed up of coming home and having to deal with similar problems as in the work place, bought a MAC and of course never looked back.
Glad to see that you included the fact that macOS is based on UNIX! People who don't know that, don't know how much more powerful macOS really is and often think it's the opposite way...
Wow, it's based off of Unix? Do you know what's like Unix but also run on the best computers mankind has to offer? Linux.
Powerful and can't run games
Your drunk
O own MacBook Pro 17" 2010 and I'm not going to replace it anytime soon because it's still great.
Thats because your 40 and dont know anything about your computer
Do you sell your macs to apple or somewhere or somebody else?
I was a Windows person since the DOS/3.1.1 days.i switched to Mac in 2012 and never looked back.
We all know about Windows to Mac switchers, but I honestly wonder what the ratio between with Mac to Windows switchers?
As an MSCE Engineer I agree with you I would pick macOS over any version of Windows.
"Maybe sometimes"
Thank you so much for this because I was really doubting my Mac purchase. Its my first and last mac I think im buying but i bought it because in the creative industry mac is like standard in some places. I think its good to know both if you can afford it.
Do you or any other people that use mac run in to problems with not being able to download some stuff? Does it happen often?
I'm an old lady, compared to most computer users now, but I got my first Mac computer in 1984! Yes, that thing not much bigger than my dads shoe boxes! :) I did get one of those Commodore 64 machines, but it pretty much gathered dust till my children go old enough to tinker on it. Then Windows took over the "business" world, and I was FORCED to use "Windoze". I had a playroom at my office, and my grandson started going to work with me while he was still in diapers. I think one of his first complete sentences was "I hate Windows; Bill Gates is the devil!" He is now thirteen, and still uses Mac Computers. His mother just bought an HP laptop for her business, and my grandson told her, "you are crazy mom. You don't understand computers, and you WILL get a virus using Windows guaranteed. To make it worse, you bought an HP; that really stands for Horrible Product." I owned a Pharma Research Company; sold the business in 2009 and retired; now I have only one Windoze in my home! My embroidery machine runs on Windoze, so I have a Sony Vaio laptop hooked to the machine, but not to the network. I have another program that runs on my Mac, where I design, and then thumb drive it to the Sony. :) I built my sister a Windows machine, installed the software, and Virus protection. I told her that she HAD to keep the virus software up to date, and to NOT open any attachments from anyone she does not know. I also warned her about the Windows pop-up virus scam crap, and told her to never allow anyone but me to remote access her computer! She is actually 12 yrs older than me; so not great with computers. I did buy my oldest brother, who is 84, a Mac desktop. He had bought a Windows, because it was cheaper, but he had to take it in 3 times in the first year, because of viruses. My brother is 25 yrs older than me, and his knowledge was point, and click! :( My husband & I spent 2 weeks with him at Thanksgiving, and the first place I took him was to the Mac store in Baton Rouge. He hasn't had a problem since! I still have my Mac 128K; we are both old, but we are still kicking! :))
#LinuxFTW
where do you sell your MacBooks?
I appreciate you going all the way through without a jump cut.
Linux.
Basically a mac with a way worse collection of creative software and a bad gui, but with the advantage of virtual console
Dual booting Windows 10 and Linux Mint on Thinkpad T520, Asus K53E, ZT Systems PC. No complaints.
+lordhelmchen100
> Bad GUI
Damn, you dont get what Linux is.
+lordhelmchen100 There's a lot of desktop managers there, EACH WITH A DIFFERENT GUI!
CatTheRigger I KNOW THIS!! The fact i want to bring up is, that EVERY desktop / window manager is SHIT compared to the one macOS uses. And thats because macOS has been developed and researched over many years now. There was a lot of money and effort put into it. It's elegant and easy to use with a lot of features. Linux on the other hand... KDE and Gnome is the best they can come up with and both are utterly cluttered and slow. Pls don't try and teach me Linux, i already know how it works!
The virus argument isn't valid : there are less viruses on Mac because there are less Macs x)
It's perfectly valid - 'cos a virus is a piece of malware which is started and run unbeknownst of its user and these don't exist in macOS, fullstop. As far as ransomware, malware, troyans - all these do exist for macOS, but they cannot be called 'viruses' as they require a human element, that is an action of a dumb user who has downloaded a piece of crapware from some dodgy site and then installed / ran it.
99% of all Viruses on Windows are there because of people not being careful enough. A Virus just does not start itself, if you protect your computer from doing it.
All the time I owned MS OSes, I literally never got a Virus.
I switched to a Mac 8 years ago and I've never had a virus. Not having to faff with virus software all the time was a breath of fresh air, and not have the system slow down was nice too.
+Wishwader good for you can you make that argument for everyone else
+Wongseifu548 try that in English?
Where did you get the color changing ball
Great sum up - and yes like you started on Windows, use if for work but Mac is my personal computer which i do all the creative stuff on and its just so simple and swift to use i can't really go back to windows!
Reason 1: So? I've used Windows my whole life and I don't hate it just because I use it a lot. If you're an Uber driver, do you hate your car because you use it for both work and personal use?
Reason 2: It is common knowledge that Macs are more expensive. You pay more for a less powerful device, it's as simple as that. Since you stated 2nd hand PC's are so cheap, just get a 2nd hand PC and save even more! I have a custom-build desktop so I won't have to buy a new PC until my motherboard gets outdated (10 years or so). If I need more GPU, I can replace my Nvidia 960, or even add another one for 2-way SLI. Do I need more cooling? No problem, get some fans. Need more CPU than my i7-4790? No problem, buy a new CPU. Whenever I'll need more power for something, I'll always be able to buy a part and install it, rather than having to buy a whole new computer. Most Windows laptops have easy RAM and hard drive changing, which extends their life quite a bit. So no, Macs are outrageously more expensive.
Reason 3: If I need to update, I'll just leave my PC on when I'm away. They only take a few minutes every few weeks, no big deal. As I've said, I've used Windows since 98 and I've gotten only 1 virus on Windows 7, and it was due to my stupidity of not checking what I software was downloading. With Windows 10, you have Windows Defender which is really good at catching anything dangerous. And Macs get viruses too, they are just not targeted as much. So today, the virus threat is pretty much minimized.
Reason 4: I'll give you this one, Terminal is pretty cool on MacOS and Linux. Even though I have a dual-boot Linux-Windows setup, I've never had to use Terminal other than to install software. For me and the stuff I do, Command Prompt was always more than enough.
Reason 5: So if you can run Windows on the Mac, why not just buy a cheaper, more powerful PC and run Windows on that? Running Windows on a Mac is basically admitting that MacOS is not good enough, so you need to run a more capable OS on overpriced hardware.
Really, the only reason I'd use a Mac is if I needed Final Cut Pro, because it's a lot faster than Adobe Premiere. However, for most uses Windows has more software and hardware to choose from for less money, which makes it a winner.
I also consider switch to Mac because of Final Cut Pro. Is it really that powerful compared to Adobe Premiere? :)
Lol butthurt.
You forgot reason 6. Because you are an iSheep.
@Et Immortalem I sure hope you are joking, because people like you are the biggest douchebags on the planet, just because someone doesn't want to drop 1000 bucks on a machine they can't upgrade or even look at the inside doesn't mean they are poor it just means they know what purchase is best for them. I don't buy Mac because I love video games and knowing my machine is my machine and not having a big black logo on a piece of metal and having shiz performance. I think you are some of the many reasons people hate you're plantation owner.
Can you please do a video on dual-boot and how you do it?
Thanks for the video. I think your points were very well thought out. In regards to them beating "cheaper" I agree, the other point is if you don't sell your Mac, but keep it, it is more useful for longer than a PC, they seem to last a lot longer. Also, I think the fact that you can install Windows onto the Mac is probably the clincher. BUT can OS X / macOS wright to NTFS properly yet?
Refreshing to hear another IT professional talk about this. I've worked as a network admin / IT manager for 20 years, and I've got to say that I love going home to my mac (hackintosh) and not dealing with all the crap I have at work.
But with dual 1080 you have to be doing some gaming and other 3D stuff?
Very interesting. Great video!
Awesome video very good points!
Love this video, I really love unix based OS so I fell in love with OS X right the way when I first tried it
Do u use Linux for server at all? How do u find it?
Great video!!! Quite educational too to lay person like me. Thank you
I'm a first time owner of a MacBook Pro and I like it. I bought i7 with 16GB RAM as I process RAW photos. On Maverick, there were lots of things I liked and few I didn't like. I didn't like that I couldn't simply change the names of a goup of JPG pictures, but now I can do that with Sierra. I love the trackpad, how fast it launches when reopening the screen. I just bought a PC for my wife because she's a teacher and mainly use MS Office. As I was setting it up, it made me realize how much I like my Mac.
Really Great Video man !👍🏻
