- Mac vs Windows PC - the age-old question which is better? In this video, I want to explore the flaws and features of each MacOS and windows operating system to find out which which one is better Mac or Windows? Windows vs Mac, pros and cons here we go.
windows vs mac or mac vs windows will help us find out which os is better mac or PC? When buying a new computer its sometimes tough to decide which operating system to choose and we need to compare mac vs windows. If there are no specific applications or software that only mac or windows can run then the choice comes down to which os is better windows vs mac.

"Scrolling back to smash the like button makes your operating system crash 13.7% less on average" - Steve Jobless
Please try this out... Windows has a built in screen recorder too. As a mater of fact I think its is very good and light weight too. Its simply: windows + alt + r ... the videos will be saved in the videos folder. :)
It's not that bad actually using Mac... there is just a learning curve just as you had a learning curve when you first started using a windows os devices. People tend to forget that you had to learn Windows, the only reason why we don't think about it is because Windows more or less became mainstream when Apple was having a hard time. So it's the same for a lifetime Mac user switching over to Windows Os as well
I actually can't believe how good the audio sounds from the built in macbook mic
@@jakeannett6720 Ayeee, there's some post processing & audio editing shenanigans going on but yeah, thanks!
So funny “Steve Jobless” 😂😂
windows is better for gaming and mac is better for work and shut up in the comments chrome book is is better for nothing
xd, nice
I prefer windows for work. Office is way better.
What work
No is not. Is just the same copy pasted comment that every Mac user repeats as their personal mantra to justify their terrible purchase. What a joke, in all aspects. Hardware, software, price...
Absolutely! Let's take a closer look at the limitations of Mac computers when it comes to gaming. Unlike gaming laptops, Macs simply don't have the capabilities to deliver a seamless gaming experience. They also don't support the download of third-party apps, including those that are pirated. I've had the pleasure of owning both a PC and a MacBook, and while the latter is convenient for its battery life during travels, I never feel any sort of hindrance with my trusty RTX 3090 PC when I'm working from home.
The conclusion is just be rich and buy both, and then shutup because you rich.
That's the route I'm going for but I'm not rich :')
I like being on as many platforms as I can, Android and iOS, Linux, Chrome OS (dirty linux), Windows and MacOS. Android Tablets and iPads.
I have my preferences for certain devices, but not because of any brand loyalty.
I got both and I’m not rich… to be fair I bought my Mac refurbished but it’s not that expensive if you work already. Apple products used to be way more expensive when compared to the competition but now it’s more a matter of preference, right now I use a MacBook Pro as my laptop and a custom windows desktop at home
💯
1:10 Windows also has built in screen recorder. Snipping tool (Windows 11) can now also record videos, and on both Windows 10 and 11, Pressing Win + G brings up bunch of tools, which also includes screen recording.
Yes.
Yeah, except you can record only the apps, not the whole desktop
@@sep5560we can
@@sep5560 so xbox recorder isnt a thing. its preinstalled
@@sep5560 No, you can record the whole desktop with snipping tool. even select the area that you want to record. for xbox game bar, it is intended for games. even it will ask you if you want to record dekstop apps if you try to record on non-games apps.
I was ADDICTED to the mouse on my Windows laptop and since I got my MacBook I haven't used a mouse for almost 2 years
It's crazy how good the trackpad is on MacBooks
Yeah when I’m using my windows it feels like the trackpad is broken with loose parts😂
Humiliation ritual
Few points (of mainly Windows user): 1. Like was pointed out below, in Windows you can use Gamebar (Win+G) which records also audio (and you can even have shortcut to plain start recording without opening anything), and snipping tool has this feature now too. 2. I don't know what screen coating has to do with OS (but most of today's Win laptops has gloss screen, not mate). 3. For virtual desktops, I would say that they are quite on par (maybe windows has less animations, but I really don't miss these. And Win+Tab do same trick as Mission Control, you can easily move apps here to different VDs, easy Win+Ctrl+arrow get's to another VD (and sorry, that different sizes and random positions of apps in MC really don't help to find app when you have open too many). But I agree that some things on Windows aren't also as great as they could be.
Windows 11 literally removed the desktop switching animation because there was a bug in that. Not to mention, it worked perfectly fine in windows 10
@@singhmp odd. I still have it on w11, lastest public Home build because I actively update my pc every week.
On Mac the virtual desktops are better when you use more then 1 display, because they are individual. On Windows when you switch the virtual Desktop on one scren it also switching the virtual screen on all other displays (on win10, i don‘t know if it‘s better on win11 and also it could be a setting but i don‘t think so)
and second point for mac, when you fullscreen an app it become a new „virtual desktop“ so you can swipe to go back to your desktop as it‘s an second virtual screen. On windows you only can fullscreen an app completely with F11 and then it's weird to switch apps, sometimes you are stuck in the app aslong it‘s in fullscreen
@@nils_skycloudwindows 10 and 11 both have that setting
Macs actually do show you file transfer speeds but only if you're transferring files to an external device (e.g. microSD or external hard drive) the reason why it never shows you file transfer progress on the internal hard drive is because it's actually instant. The way that APFS works means that files are all actually located in whatever place is most convenient for them to be in storage, and your entire file structure links to references to the actual location of the files. This means that when you're moving a file from one location to another, it's actually only moving the reference, which takes up next to no space.
Uuu that's interesting. Thanks for explanation & for watching
It is the same for copying, APFS handles copying process as just adding a reference pointing to the file, if you modify the copied file, it would just store the delta change
the same happens on windows if you are moving stuff on the same SSD/HDD, it just rewrites the location attributes
Pointers basically
It works this way on all modern file systems. APFS, NTFS, ext4, BTRFS, ZFS all do this. The difference is that if you copy a file, ext4 and NTFS will copy the file immediately, which takes time and space. The others will only actually copy the file if you modify one of the copies.
A few things regarding Mac:
1. Applications are not as sparse as depicted here and you also don’t need to go through the app store. You can easily download things and apps online just as if it was a windows computer.
2. Games are available on Mac, just very little AAA games because of Apple’s proprietary technology (Metal, for example).
3. It’s easy to customize your Mac and there are many different applications that change things (such as Finder).
4. Non-Apple mouses act just like if they were Apple’s mouse. Just go into the settings like you would for Windows to change the speed and scrolling direction. You don’t need other apps to make your mouse work like needed.
5. “Closing apps” is slightly true, but it depends on the app. Safari, for example, stays open so you can browse the web instantly without opening it up again. Reminders, however, will instantly close. This can be changed in settings, again. You don’t really have to worry about these apps being open though, since RAM management is awesome on the Mac. It barely draws ANY energy, which also contributes to battery life.
4) No it's not. You can't disable acceleration, and if you change scroll direction, it changes it on trackpad too. You must use app to have reasonable experience
@@user-to9qi9vg8m I used a Mac mouse once with my old iMac but switched to a regular mouse I got on Amazon because I didn't like the Apple one and I continue using the same mouse on my Macbook and have never had an issue with that. I didn't even know there were apps to change how the mouse works on an apple computer? I'm genuinely curious as to why some people experience problems with using non apple mice
@@jakeldn7105 Yep, if there were no problem, there would not be dozens of apps fixing it. Macos doesn't separate trackpad and mouse settings, you change one - you change both. Without fixes you stuck with accelerating mouse(normal behaviour for trackpad) which scrolls in wrong direction(natural for trackpad, wrong for wheel).
@@user-to9qi9vg8m maybe i've just got used to it then tho really it does not bother me lol
@@user-to9qi9vg8m I didn't understand this mouse thing. I never had a problem with non-apple mouse. I only used Microsoft mini mouse and Logitech MX Ergo and they both worked perfectly on Mac too (MX Ergo is a trackball but my preference has always been a trackball on PC too). On mac, if possible, I always prefer a trackpad over anything else. ( I am using it on a 3 monitors area which is 3440*1440, and 2 3840*2160 area to travel on and with Trackball, Trackpad it is easy).
5:30 personal favourite, being able to use the same mouse and keyboard for an iPad and Mac at the same time
99% of these comparisons on YT look the same, but this one is a much-needed exception. Thank you so much for not including the usual, nauseating BS about "content creator's workflows", Final Cut, bizarre benchmarks, random screenshots from Apple keynotes and gasps about mobility. This is one of the very few, real, user-oriented comparisons between the two systems. There are pros and cons of both and you clearly pointed them out, whilst remaining neutral. Your channel deserves far more views. Keep up the excellent work!
Damn, thank you!
One of the biggest things that needs to be mentioned is stability and battery life. Battery life on macOS M1/M2 is MASSIVE.
I agree.
but some of the comparisons aren't 100% accurate. For example, Windows DOES have screen recording built in AND in multiple ways: Snipping Tool and Game Bar. And for phone integration, Windows has the Phone Link app. But everything else was pretty spot on.
@@jimmie_g The video is 7 months old, the phone link app is not as advanced in connection to pc and the snipping tool capturing video is a relatively new feature. Windows 11 received A LOT of very useful updates in recent months, so yeah, some points are not relevant anymore. They were when the video was done though.
Great video! I also switched from Windows to MacOS about a year. I am still confused about why Macbook users always said MacOS is much friendly than Windows, the shortcut keys combinations are horrible to me. And MacOS's multi-window / split screen features are far less than Windows. But power(battery), noise and heat managements are no doubt beyond all the Windows laptop. For me, I would definitely to own another Windows desktop at Home but enjoy Macbook on the go to have both advantages.
When I stopped using windows around 2012, it still didn’t have multiple desktops like many Linux distributions do. That was one of the things that I liked about OSX / Mac OS was the UNIX / Linux feature of multiple desktops. It’s not quite the same thing as having a second or third monitor but it’s close and incredibly useful to me. It allows keeping work or apps open in a relatively uncluttered space on its own desktop instead of having a huge mess on one screen.
On Mac you can swipe over to a different desktop on your trackpad or mouse, use the Mission Control button on the desktop, set up hot corners to invoke Mission Control, or just click on the app you want to get back to and it navigates/whooshes you over to the correct where you have it open.
I usually have about 6 desktops set up to work in. It helps to give each one a different wall paper so they don’t all look the same.
Using both, if you can, is definitely the way to go!
I have found since jumping ship from windows in 2011, that windows is becoming more and more Mac-like. Especially with Windows 11. The default layout of the task bar, the settings menu, the style of the icons all screen Mac influence.
And it’s not that Mac OS is necessarily easier (maybe if you had never used either a Mac or Windows pc), but the stability of the OS, the integration of the Apple eco-system, how fluid ICloud is, and having never experienced a ‘blue screen of death’ in the last 10yrs. Not to mention being able to get the latest OS upgrades without having to pay for them (which Windows only just started with Win10).
The Enter key doesn't even open files in the Finder
@@SkibidiEugensson I find it very useful renaming files with enter though
You switch the topics so smoothly, its mesmerising. nice video
Damn, thanks for the commend and for watching
Probably my favorite comparison video of all time. This style WORKS and makes clear the pros and cons of each!
Wow, thanks!
First thing to do when you buy a PC: reinstall windows using an iso from Microsoft without any extra software
Why ? And how?
With a bootable USB drive, you can do wonders 😉. Getting rid of windows manipulation by the pc manufacturer is one of them.
@@emanuelourencooo And straight buy Windows 10 Pro und install for company, not private. Also if you have a home server, pxe is better than usb bootable iso.
Rufus!

I like the mouse/trackpad behavior on Mac but I hate the issues it has with both multiple screens and with spaces. I haven’t tried the new stage manager yet but I’m sure I’ll hate it too. Not that multitasking is all bad on Mac but it has its annoyances that you can’t do anything about.
as a user of both, I find this review very on point, good job! much covered in so little time
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching
5:51 For Windows, there is an app from Microsoft "Your Phone" that works great with Android phones. For some phones from Samsung and Huawei, there are additional functions (screen casting to PC, opening applications, wireless photo transfer etc).
Exactly, I have a Samsung and it work like a charm. Copy and paste one device to the other, share file, foto, video. Making call, message, screen cast to PC, control the phone with the PC. A lot of things
There's honestly just a ton he doesn't knkw about in this video and misspoke on. From recording screens, to app management
he just doesn't know shortcuts or functionality and just says Windows can't do certain things even though they are builtin.
I'm fine with folks having preferences either wa, but he definitely was not accurate in many things here from a functionality standpoint.
There’s also intel unison for doing picture/file transfers, messaging and calling, and a handful of other features that works with iPhones as well.
Okay, so I like to keep up on different platforms, because I use most of them. My main device is a Windows PC, I have an Android phone, an iPhone and an iPad and I can tell you that Your Phone doesn't even begin to compare to Apple's Continuity feature. When I'm using my iPhone and iPad it works so well, it doesn't even feel like I'm switching devices. The OS does everything. You just use it and you can trust Continuity to keep up. There's no setup, no issues, it never crashes or fails to work. You just log in to your iCloud account and you never have to worry again.
Your Phone doesn't work as well. It requires more setup, often fails in what it tries to do, and most of the marketed features don't work unless you have a specific phone from a Microsoft partner. Even the features that do work require some kind of user input. Also, cursor and keyboard sharing are not built-in, clipboard syncing is not built-in (and even if you do use Swiftkey, it works 1 out of 10 times and only for text) and there's no equivalent to Sidecar and Handoff.
Simply put, Windows tries its best to copy that feature and the user is left with a half-baked mess that sometimes will work and sometimes don't, while on macOS, it works as expected with absolutely no user input needed.
@@andreacx you should try your phone with a samsung phone on a samsung galaxybook laptop it works flawlessly + it has many similar iphone mac features and samsung provide their own apps built in in both the phone and the laptop they too work very fine, features like cursor sharing and clipboard sharing are there with with the galaxy books and samsung phones and samsung tablets and also many features are integrated with the galaxy watch
and you are right it works well with samsungs because they have some partnership with microsoft but same could be said for iphone and mac features as well, its like they have their own samsung ecosystem

Switching between windows for the same app on Mac is actually a lot easier if you learn trackpad gestures. I still occasionally miss the old alt-tab or ctrl-tab combo from Windows, but gestures on MacOS give a simple, uniform way to switch windows, apps, desktops, etc, and even launch other apps.
Also, while the number of free apps on Mac is comparatively small (when compared to Windows), they are still present on the app store, so what you said on that front wasn't strictly true.
Otherwise, a fair comparison. And yes, I still don't get why closing a window on MacOS doesn't close the app as well! Very odd choice that one.
P.S. I use both daily and like both for their strengths, so no axe to grind here. ;)
Using a macbook myself, its feels great to memorize keybinds that bypass the struggle of "missing features windows have".
I've tried Windows, Macos, GNOME desktop, and KDE. For me GNOME is the most intuitive desktop. It has simplicity UI like MacOS, and robust key shortcuts like Windows. Best of the both world, except you can't run MS Office natively.
I personally prefer KDE Plasma. It's basically what Windows wishes it was. GNOME is really good too, but with both of these you do miss out on some apps as you mentioned sadly. But I just use Onlyoffice or Libreoffice and that works flawlessly for me 🤷♂
By default gnome really shine with there ui guidelines even though it's a little ugly
but biggest issue is, everything in gnome is under featured.. Comeon.. who records screen in webm??
in KDE, it takes a long time to take full advantage of it's power, but there, nothing is completely standardised, like, why you need 3 defferent little maintained frameworks for writting apps??
Xfce is not quite there, yet realy good
But any of these, accessability is a nightmare...
And speaking of standerdisation, many people not taking complete advantage of TWMs... like why tf people uses alt+f4 in custom configs? Just why?? It's your config ... you can change it... and i don't think people keeping it because they like it..
yeah gnome extensions especially can fix some issues like im on zorin os and their default is only 2 windows side by side with keyboard shortcuts but i installed wintile and now i can have my fancy zones esc multitasking
i as a new user am kinda falling in love with some of the customizability cuz i always felt on windows it was kinda shit and annoying
if you want to find the window you want on macOS, just force click the app icon or double-"tap" your trackpad and it will reveal all windows you have from any space (except the one in full screen)
Or enable the three finger swipe down gesture to show app exposé. It’s a piece of Mission Control.
@@thunderbolt10031 that does it, too. but it's not a default setting anymore idk what they were thinking
7:30 Where's mention that Mac OS DOESN'T SUPPORT CUSTOM SCALING AT ALL!!! ONLY CHANGING HIDPI RESOLUTION TOGETHER WITH INTERFACE SIZE.....
Bro literally having an argument with himself. Genius.
1:05 lemme tell you, "IT'S WINDOWS+G"
You're welcome!
I've seen a lot of talk about the Game Bar for recording on Windows, but it's worth mentioning that it is also now (I'm running an Insider build, not sure if this is in general release yet) built into the snipping tool.
They need to roll it out for everyone asap. It'll be so useful. Until then I'll use Windows + Alt + R for now.
I also used to have a windows Inspiron from 2015 or 2016 (I can't remember). What I do remember was how fun it was to customize it and make it look just like macOS. Although it didn't ever work as smoothly as macOS.
4:44 yea, until you connect your mac to a FullHD monitor
the best comparation video that I’ve seen about those two OS, PLEASE A PART TWO!
Thank you for this comment! I'm glad you liked it!
I have both, Macbook Air M1 & Legion 5 Pro 5800H both high end models. And let me tell you this video is 100% describes what I'm going through, I can't let go of any one of them, mac freaks me out when it comes to real computing and working with different apps, but its the greatest laptop to watch movies, browse internet, send emails and write assays with its smooth functioning, amazing screen, pretty loooong battery life and very good speakers that not any non apple laptops can beat. While my windows laptop is my gaming baby, and I can have any type of tools and programs to work with in peace without any frustration and limitations. So If you can afford it: Get both
I have both and use it exactly like what you described
Meh, I think you're better off getting a miniled ipad instead of going for a macbook. You get the same chip as on the macbook air and an awesome display close to that of the macbook pros and it does literally everything you said you do on a macbook, consume content, browse the web and write stuff like emails and *essays.* personally I have a legion 5 pro with the same cpu as yours and a 3060, but I don't have a macbook and wouldn't buy one for the price they're going for, especially the pros, but would absolutely love an ipad for media consumption. Idk this is my 2 cents about the topic lol. Yeah well I am in fact thinking of getting an ipad but before that I'm contemplating about selling my laptop and replace my 10yo desktop pc with an all amd powerhouse to run linux with a windows vm on it, since I don't trust microsoft anymore to have windows on bare metal.
6:28 bro buy a galaxy book pro it has a 20 hour battery life and it doesn't need anything
I would like a part 2! You make quality content. Great job!
Thank you for this commend and for watching
To start recording a video of the screen on Windows - press Win+Alt+R. Press the same combination again to stop the recording.
Yes, it's built-in on every Windows by default.
for me its alt + f4 lmao
@@timpudge5816 hehehe..Bro isnt that poison? Alt + F$4 closes a program or window
not reliadble as OBS studio...i just entered full screen on youtube then recording stops...horrible
This feature has been made available in the newest snipping tool in windows 11.
Just by windows + shift + s, you will be able to record the whole or any part of your screen
Also Xbox GameBar was a thing years ago in Win 10
This might be the best comparison video I found. In depth, easy to understand and covers topics most real world users care about. 👍

@@duartelucas5746 some windows laptop can do that thing like my Asus ROG zephyrus G14 bruh...... Atleast I can game whenever I want than a mac with capped at 15 fps kekwwww
This was the most fair video I’ve ever seen on the two OSs. I would say though that it’s more about getting used to the way each OS does workflow. You mentioned that window management is terrible on the Mac but also say that the trackpad is amazing. In fact, the trackpad is how you do window management. It’s how you get around. If you want to see all of the windows of one application you just flip down with four fingers. And there are videos in settings showing you what everything does for the trackpad. I wish flip down was enabled by default.
And yes, better snap tool is the first thing I install on my Mac to get back that windows feature.
The problem on the Mac is that it is really geared to people who know absolutely nothing. So it won’t give you the extra information that the average user doesn’t care about.
The worst thing about the Mac though is the security is getting insane for anything that is not on the App Store. If you go off the beaten track at all Apple is going to complain about it and you’ll be giving permission for things every other minute. This for me is the worst thing about Apple. It wasn’t like this in the Jobs era.
I have not really experienced a problem with keyboard shortcuts on the Mac. It is confusing though about quitting apps. Because sometimes, like in settings, closing the window does close the program. But this is very inconsistent.
No one would argue that gaming is great on the Mac. However it is good. On my M1 pro MacBook Pro (a terribly named computer if there ever was one) there are very few things I cannot play. Now I am not a fps kind of guy. But, I have found that by the time you use wine/Crossover and Parallels, along with GeForce now, you’re mostly good to go. And now Microsoft is joining the fray with GeForce now. There isn’t much you can’t play. However, setting up games on the Mac is often not for the faint of heart. It does require technical skills with Crossover or Parallels. If gaming is your primary use, just stay away from it.
Yeah fair, when you compare operating systems and half of it is the fucking hardware. Like it has nothing to do with the OS.. Bullshit
Please mention the Window laptop you are comparing to?
Thank you for this comparison. I've found that having a MacBook for just laptop use and using Windows on desktop is a great combo if you can afford it. The laptop is so great on it own and I wish there was a monitor that was as good as the laptop screen. Mac definitely has a learning curve compared to windows, especially with shortcuts. But I'm not that big on customisation so I learn the parts that I need and keep it moving.
Facts. I got a MacBook Air which is an amazing portable machine and I have a pc gaming setup at home. It’s a dream.
I loved how objective this was and how you clearly not favorited one over the other
I grew up with windows, but used both Mac and windows over the last few years. I’d say windows used to be simpler, but nowadays it’s looking more and more like MacOS. The biggest reason I just ordered a $4,5K MacBook (more expensive here in Europe) over a Windows is performance. I don’t play video games, and with that in mind a MacBook outperforms a windows by far.
@@whengrapespop5728I’ve used windows all my life and already find my Mac easier to use after 2 months of getting used to it
Outside of games I pretty much use my Mac for everything now. I love it, and I highly recommend every PC gamer get one to use as a secondary machine
whats your macbook reference? i'm considering to migrate to macbook air m2 with 8gb but i can´t still decide that change
On Windows you also have any combination of Ctrl, Alt, Shift and sometimes even the Windows Logo Key as modifiers. It's just more consistent across most common apps, but it can be just as nightmarish as on Mac
Windows logo is mainly used for OS shortcuts, like launching run, search, notification center, game bar, screen project, taskbar context menu, etc. Very unlikely you find a program that uses windows key as its shortcuts. Shift is often used to select/block range of file/text while ctrl is used to select/block freely. CTRL is always used for text shortcuts like bold, italic, underline, etc. across all text/document processor programs in Windows.
Windows+TAB is used to open virtual desktop switchers, ALT+TAB is used to switch between programs, CTRL+TAB is used to switch between browser/file Explorer tabs.
It's so consistent. I feel like Windows dev is putting a lot of effort to make shortcuts easier for its users to learn. The closest contender for windows shortcut is linux. While mac os one is a nightmare to learn.
I'm in need of advice. I'm looking for a macbook,but my budjet is 550€ or at max 600€.I'm getting on used so I would apreciate any suggestions.
Straight to the point, simple & not confusing, thank you.
Thank you for this comment & for watching
I have to agree about speakers 100% :) My work macbook pro 16 speakers actually DEFY physics!
Besides that I love the multitasking in Windows while on Macbook it's way easier to use multiple desktops.
Fully quitting and finding other windows of apps is really annoying tho ;)
What's hard about _command tab_ to switch Apps and _command tilde_ to switch windows?
The first is the same as on Windows, the second is missing in Windows.
Also drag and drop is leagues ahead on macOS compared with Window, and where are unfolding folders, spring loaded folders, universal menu and commands on Windows? Windows has no: Quickview, Smart folders, AppleScript, Automator, Shortcuts, no 80+ Apps etc etc etc
I bought a Surface laptop 4 and as a long time Mac user (2008), I must say, it's pretty nice!
To switch between windows of the same app on Mac you can enable "App expose" in the trackpad configuration.
Also, there are plenty of gestures you can do on the trackpad of a Windows laptop. Some you have to configure in settings and you can chose what they do (ie; 4 finger swipe up: increase volume, 3 finger swipe; task view, ect)
plain wrong. the horrible thing about trackpads and generally hardware is that it depends on the manufacturer. my asus laptop doesn't have any gestures.
Haven't seen any Windows laptop that has a track pad as big as MacBook's. So I rarely use gestures with more than 2 fingers on Windows laptop.
@@king_james_official Depend on the laptop, you can't compare $300 to $1500. My Asus does have gesture (never use it tho).

Macbook glossy screen has a really good non reflective coating, I would take it over matte finish any day. I had my problems with 13 inch m1 MBP but 16 inch m1 MBP is literally the best tech device I ever used. I have 0 complaints about it and I mean it.
Sames bro, it's glossy AF but it's not an issue.
4:09 Linux wants to know your location
lol, these Linux comments get me every time
Bro installed tlauncher😂 at 2:42
You can actually switch between apps using ALT + TAB, just like in windows
Anyone have a clue what the wallpaper he used at 8:05 is? The purple fog/smoke one.
Its a wallpaper by Canoopsy (RUclipsr), you have to pay for it though
@@bogxd Thanks a lot!
Microsoft does have good phone integration. "Your phone" lets you do so much that IOS and mac can do. You can text, use your phone apps, call, and so much more
It's very buggy and unreliable
With Samsung phones it works great
Can you suggest me a good laptop for little gaming, 4K video editing, photo editing and some office work. Battery also important
awesome video! little correction: windows has a screenrecorder built in as well. Try pressing ctrl + g for the game center or whatever its called
I like this video so much. A perfect comparison.
Thank you, I like this comment so much. A perfect comment
I'd like part 2, definitely. I am interested to see what does MacOS lack compared to Windows or what extra it does have. Please make it. 😊
Really thanks for the helpful information and super fun conversation.
Windows has a built in screen record function using the snipping tool. I hope you find that useful!
Part two please 🙏🏾
I loved the smooth transitions between each topic. Nice work!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching
Best comparison about windows vs mac i've come across so far. unbiased and talks from perspective of a normal user and not a content creator only
Cheers! thanks for watching
does newly mac os update include clipboard manager?
I started with Mac back in the early 90s, went to Windows around 94, back to mac 2005, now I am back to windows 2022.
I prefer mac os for work use and stability. I don't mind Windows 10. I will start to use Linux soon.
The best thing about Windows is you can have a desktop that you can open up and clean dust, upgrade hardware and generally a lot cheaper for the same specs.
The best thing about Mac is you know it will just work while the hardware doesn't fail. The OS is flawless and will never bog down.
I am hoping that linux gives me that mac os like experience with a desktop upgradeable tower.
I will never go back to Apple though from bad experiences with hardware and employment with Apple. I've had two macbook pros fail on me, just outside of warranty. Of course the repair cost at Apple was higher than a brand new PC with better specs so they just became paperweights. I worked for Apple as tech support and felt like I was in slave labour camp. I realise their best sellers like the iPhones and their airpods are not bleeding edge anymore in design and function compared to competition. In fact I feel like innovation has slowed across the board and a bunch of other companies have caught up to Apple. So here I stand, from Mac to Windows/Linux and from iOS to Android. I used to be the biggest Apple fanboy too.
1:54 App Expose only swipe down four fingers to reveal all the windows of an app
OMG, I loved this!! Informative and hilarious, a great combination. Well done!
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Very good and informative video. I use both OS. I use Mac for all my work. And have a PC for gaming primarily. I just like how contained, minimalist and good looking the whole Mac Eco system is out of the box.
Agreed! Thanks for watching ❤️
Sometimes with windows, you need a specific laptop to create such a comparison; for instance, the hardware on Dell XPS laptops is insanely good too.
If only Dell would work with AMD to put a more efficient chip in the XPS Plus, it could be a contender for the best laptop on the market. Oh well, I can only hope.
@@Lee.S321 Same. But god for fuck sake, make it bulkier. It's almost as if a laptop that is as thin as paper is something ideal. NO IT'S NOT. The asus G14 Zephyrus would still be consider thin and light to me. It's the perfect laptop. Plus, it looks like a laptop too, not some of those wedge shaped or diamond cut shaped design like the Macbook air, or the dell xps. Just please make it look like Razer blade but bulkier then boom. Even greater battery life, more cooling, more power. WIN WIN
Windows Snipping Tool can record videos and take screenshots
Which one is better for work with AutoCad , Windows or Mac?
finally a video that's not taking sides
finally a comment that's not taking sides xd thanks for watching
Primarily Mac user here with a Windows gaming laptop and I agree with everything you just said.
I hardly use my Asus G15 unless I wanna play Resident Evil Village but use my M1 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro for everything else like working and media consumption.
That's exactly what I do too :D
There is an app for macs called ‘Mos’ to improve third party mouse support. Fixes the inverted scrolling and makes scrolling smoother too.
I've owned a Mac for 9 years and I didn't know about the Command-Shift-5 feature! I only knew about Command-Shift-3 & 4! Thank you for talking about this
Ayee no problem, thank u for watching
Dude, your vids are amazing!
Dude, thank you!
Both are great OS's now. However, the only Windows laptops that compare to Apple build quality (trackpad included) are Surface devices... however, unfortunately Microsoft puts terribly underperforming parts in them and charges as much, if not more, than Apple, but with like half of the performance and battery life. Therefore, if I wanted a desktop I'd go with Windows, and at the moment, I'd go with Apple for a laptop. I really hope Surface laptops get better. Dont me wrong, they have great displays, keyboards, track pads, and general build quality, but often they have bad battery life and underwhelming performance, especially compared to Apple's chips now.
Asus makes very good laptops with their ROG Zephyrus Series Laptops such as the Zephyrus G14 which has a very good design, heat management, hardware and materials with having a glass touchpad that feels so good and AniMe Matrix LED on the back cover of the laptop which can make cool gifs and show your personality. Asus ROG also has higher end laptops with stronger specs than design such as their ROG Strix Series that have RTX 4090s and 13th Gen Intel Cpu's
Razer Blade Series Laptops also have very nice touchpads and come with high specs with top of the line Ryzen, Intel and RTX Series Chips.
surface?? lol buddy thinkpads are way better than surface. they are the closest to macbook quality on windows side.
I definitely agree with u on getting a windows desktop. Unless you NEED to use apple's software (Like final cut) there's no reason to get a Mac studio when you can get a cheaper windows desktop that's better, and the desktop Mac pro is beyond pointless, you could build a far superior windows pc for less money. I think there's better alternatives to the surface for windows laptops though
8:15 The f? How could you even plug it in pushing the cable from a far range to the plug???
Its magnetic :D
Great great comparison! I subscribed!
❤😊
Enjoyed it👍 down for a part 2
Nice! Thanks for watching
Even though i don't agree with everything, I loved how you managed to explain lots of cons and pros without being annoying or even a fanboy of one of them. Good job!
How can you disagree with facts?
@@shunbeats5431 He's giving his opinion when he says "that's hard to use" or "It's a mess" and people can disagree with that.
I disagree for example with the mouse thing. He said it's a mess on Mac, but I've never bought Apple's mouse, for example, and it wasn't any difficult to set it up. I just plugged it in and it was ready to use. :)
@@KelvinF yeah you "plugged it in" however bluetooth support on mac for peripherals that arent apple just suck
@@Thebigbean114 I bought an mx master and just installed the Logitech options+ app for it, exactly as I did on windows and I've had zero problems...
Most of macs shortcuts are like linux if you have ever used linux before you should not have a problem for switching 😊
Unsure what you’ve been using, but I think that’s not true for most mainstream distros?
With Ubuntu for example, I think you still use CTRL for almost everything like in Windows. I don’t remember being confused by CTRL + WIN or something like that for zooming and so on.
whats the keyboard
Is it your voice in the video or do you use an AI or any other voice generator program?
It’s my voice
5:38 Windows and some Android (Samsung and few other) devices can sync copied items through Phone Link.
They even let you have full control over your phone (Yes, you can see the screen and control it.) within PC so I feel like that should be in there.
You can text, make phone calls, or even share internet connection or view pictures.
It's really convenient because I don't have to pull out my phone from my pocket.
I used to think having a mouse was a requirement for me but now that i have a MacBook with that insanly good trackpad i always used it a lot more than my actual mouse lol.
so trueee, i can totally relate
Macbook's good trackpad is coupled by the fact that its mouse acceleration is bullshit. I haven't been able to use an external mouse correctly with MacOS.
Really nice presentation. Covered most thing in really short time.
How do you enable magnification effect seen on 3:00 ?
Windows' virtual desktops actually have gotten really better since the first release of Windows 10, I have a Thinkpad that I use for work and the multiple desktops are a life-saver for me. And also about the trackpad: a well built Windows laptop (Thinkpad is at the top of the game here i think) has a trackpad that is just as smooth as a Macbook trackpad. The only downside on a Windows machine is the battery life in my opinion: I've seen Macbook users getting 7-8 hours on a single charge while my Thinkpad at most gives 4-4.5 hours. One last note is the clipboard which Windows handles excellently (activated by Windows + V), I haven't seen any Macbooks having built-in clipboards while the Windows one lets you keep track of copied text, pictures and even whole Excel sheets' rows.
Windows has Step recorder built in though, which is a lot more friendly than showing grandma a video recording
Yeah, fair point. The grandma line was there just for fun xd
as user of Mac and Windows , I really comfort to use windows since its more practical , open source and user friendly .
Your transitions between Mac and Windows are so smooth
On the dock, press and hold the primary mouse button and you'll get a menu showing the opened windows al the windows with the diamond shape are minimised, if not are visible, the one with the checkmark is the focused one.
If you have the Magic Mouse or the trackpad you can also double tap with two fingers to show all visible windows and minimised windows, similar to Microsoft's approach
The closing window behaviour on macOS is not the same like Windows, when you open a software instance macOS that is matter of getting use although this feature is somehow inconsistent, because it depends on the developer if you close an app window an exit the whole application or just keep it running
The multimonitor management I admit is kind of a pain, but in the past was terrible.... so it's improving slow but improving
About the "transparency" most of that is more focused on reduce the clutter and visual annoyance in fact, you don't need to see everything opened in the dock (you have the activity monitor), but some stuff like the transfer progress would be a nice thing to have, or preview compressed files instead just extract them
With the whole "X" to close the program, the reason this is different is on Mac is that it pins the basic menu of any program to the very top menu on the screen, replacing the finder menu as long as that app is first most. This means menus for the basic functions are not limited strictly to window views like they are in windows (Not a better feature, just different), so yes you can close every window and the program can still be open.. Consider that maybe you want to open a new window after you've closed all the previous window, so You click on the app in the dock and bring up the menu (Top most menu) and then open a new window. Again.. this is subjective but understanding the GUI design helps understand why this is the case. Additionally to move between open windows of open apps on your Mac, you can double tap on the track pad or Magic Mouse and see the thumbnail for all your open windows to quickly navigate. It's not the same thing but it works arguably just well unless you have a million windows open.
gotta admit the option command control buttons also confused the living shit out of me when i switched.
Fantastic video. Although I'm no closer to deciding if I'll ever get a macbook pro or not.. haha
