Between answers on Mac forums and answers on Windows forums, you should get an idea of what steers people to one system or the other. In your position, I'd ask the same question on a Windows forum and see what responses you get. It's not beyond reason that in the near future iOS devices and macOS devices will, in fact, be running essentially the same operating system.Īt the end of it, your best bet is to list what your requirements are and see what comes closest to meeting your expectations. MacOS and iOS are becoming intertwined more and more. Pages, Numbers and Keynote replace MS Office reasonably well, but it's doubtful that they will ever become the preferred tool in a corporate environment. Software tends to be cheaper, or even free. The useful life is around 8-10 years, meaning you can buy one around 3 years old at a decent discount and still expect to have a useable machine. Over time, Macs work out to be cheaper than Windows machines.

I can't ever see myself buying another Windows PC, because my Mac is part of an all-Apple system, and Windows lost any attraction it may once have had for me with the introduction of 8. What is good for one person is not necessarily good for another.
