Mac vs Windows

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.

[@Areg523]

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. :)

[@gideonkok2071]

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

[@olive256]

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.

Humiliation ritual

[@sebastiannovotny8198]

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.

[@singhmp]

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

[@CallMeAnisse]

​@@singhmp odd. I still have it on w11, lastest public Home build because I actively update my pc every week.

[@nils_skycloud]

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)

[@nils_skycloud]

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

[@unixtheproto4938]

​@@nils_skycloudwindows 10 and 11 both have that setting

[@belizarius_997]

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!

[@bogxd]

[@karmatraining]

One of the biggest things that needs to be mentioned is stability and battery life. Battery life on macOS M1/M2 is MASSIVE.

[@casey.rob.]

I agree.

[@jimmie_g]

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.

[@rtemtrubin]

​@@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.

[@acwesty]

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.

[@user-to9qi9vg8m]

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

[@jakeldn7105]

​@@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

[@user-to9qi9vg8m]

@@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).

On mac, if possible, I always prefer a trackpad over anything else.

[@qtdork]

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.

[@bogxd]

Uuu that's interesting. Thanks for explanation & for watching

[@jcfawerd]

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

[@matyi1656]

the same happens on windows if you are moving stuff on the same SSD/HDD, it just rewrites the location attributes

[@Doonutzs]

Pointers basically

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

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.

[@peace1113]

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.

[@mendodsoregonbackroads6632]

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.

[@bogxd]

Using both, if you can, is definitely the way to go!

[@rauland]

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).

There's honestly just a ton he doesn't knkw about in this video and misspoke on.

I'm fine with folks having preferences either wa, but he definitely was not accurate in many things here from a functionality standpoint.

[@lgilles]

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.

[@andreacx]

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.

Xfce is not quite there, yet realy good But any of these, accessability is a nightmare...

[@timbader898]

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. ;)

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.

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

[@Ana05702]

[@vali69]

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.

[@gregormatte7778]

Windows 11 made me switch to Mac.

[@SteveDonev]

Id say windows and MAC machines are pretty equal in price provided they are speced similarly. A lot of people compare $400 windows laptops to $1100 MacBooks and complain the windows machine is worse. No duh lol. If you compare a $1100 windows laptop to a $1100 MacBook they will be identical in performance. Apple will have an advantage in battery life while the windows machine will have better upgradability and longer support. That’s about it in terms of advantages

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

[@taranaditya2767]

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.

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.

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

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 ;)

[@peterbreis5407]

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?

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.

[@bonginkosiosborne2640]

Part two please 🙏🏾

[@romanjakhiashvili]

I have to disagree with some statements. You can switch scroll in System Preferences → click Scroll & Zoom → toggle the Natural scroll direction on or off. So scrolling with other mice works just perfectly. Also on Windows now we have a phone link which works just perfectly for sync and control of the phone. Google also released nearby share

[@shroomtogo]

Great video! Its the beste Windows/MacOS comparison I ever saw on KZbin! I personaly use Fedora as my daily desktop OS since three months or so (yes, a Linux user actually has to tell everyone immediately which operating system he uses). With Linux I think you can get the best parts from Windows and MacOS in one system but it surely has its own little downsites too.

[@jaka398]

Isn`t Fedora quite unstable distribution? What was your experience with it? Any problems?

[@shroomtogo]

@@jaka398 Fedora runs really great and without problems for me, but for gaming with an Nvidia graphics card you have to install the Nvidia driver via the store and it sometimes causes (fortunately only small) problems, but the games run well. At least this is the experience I have had with my system since I started using Fedora.^^

[@adanmirandaespindola521]

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

[@InfernoDildo]

[@determin4nt]

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.

[@DarcMagikian]

5:50 Actually Windows has something called "Phone Link". That has a lot of features, like clipboard syncing between windows and android, screenshare, call and messages, view phone gallery. And google has nearbyshare app for windows which let you share files between android and windows. 6:30 I never used a mouse with a laptop, maybe just me 🤷‍♂

[@jacobpottage6938]

I would like to comment on the screen recording, in Windows 11, Win + G brings up the Game Bar settings, you can then exit it using the same shortcut, the Win + Alt + R to start recording, and the same to stop.

[@michaeldodd9671]

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.

[@Moosa_Says]

1. On windows now have a built in screen recorder, in snipping tool now it shows a record screen button. Which works perfectly. 2. Mission Control in Windows which is Win Key + Tab works perfectly fine and actually better than mac because at the bottom it shows virtual desktops as well. Which means one more easy way to switch v-desktop. Also, in taskbar you have virtual desktop switch button. Super easy! On windows supported laptops you can also switch v-desktops using trackpad gestures.

[@monara97]

Btw. Try rectangle, Raycast, Sudotu and keka if you use a mac. also Warp if you use terminal often. Also enable three finger drag, four finger swipe for switch between desktops.

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.
