Let's start this comparison of Windows and Mac by stating what should be obvious: comparing Windows and Mac to each other is kinda silly. Windows and Mac are Totally Different Systems

So what's going on here? Is that actually true? And if so, why? We turned to devout PC user, Marcy Bonebright, for her perspective on this issue.

One argument is that, yes, of course, if you're comparing a Mac to all other Windows machines, regardless of the configuration and build quality, you'll get the sense that Macs last longer because they're naturally built better than a $300 machine.īut many still hold that even when comparing two like systems, in terms of processor, storage, design, etc., you'll still encounter an experience in which the Mac seems to last longer than the Windows laptop. In those discussions, a frequent sentiment was expressed: Mac laptops are pricier, but they last longer.

Essentially, it became an argument about the pros and cons of Windows vs. The comment section on that feature then lit up with opinions from readers on which laptops are better.
