The rivalry between Windows and Mac is maximum: we give you some reasons that can help you choose a PC with Windows

"

The battle between Windows and macOS as the most used systems (with permission from Linux) goes back a long way. Since the longstanding Get a Mac campaigns, users of _made in_ Apple computers have always looked down on those who chose to use a Windows-based computer More popular, more widespread... but also with post-improvement aspects, beware, everything must be said."

Security has always been the weak point of Windows-based computers, with threats that made them pale in comparison to the security offered by macOS.Along with these, others related to the fact that macOS was a usable system from the beginning or to the applications, many of them better managed on Mac than on Windows. The truth is that these statements are true, and I say this as an active user of both platforms. None is perfect and both have aspects to highlight, one over the other. And that is why we are going to offer here five reasons why Windows is a more interesting option than macOS.

Windows is more widespread

We start with the most obvious. Windows is the almost standard operating system in the world, the most widespread among users and professional environments. The figures are there to prove it. Windows dominates the market with an iron fist with almost a 90% share. In the last month these are the data. Among the 10 most used operating systems, Windows dominates with more than 85%, leaving the rest in the hands of macOS (whose most sold version remains at almost 5%) and Linux.

Some brands launch their application on Windows earlier simply because it is more widespread and it will give them more market. It is true that little by little macOS is recovering ground, but today there are sectors where Windows is much more functional. Business applications or for the educational sector, require a computer with Windows. Therefore, the Microsoft operating system offers a greater range of possibilities.

It is a platform for games

There is no color here. If you want to play games you should opt for a desktop console or a Windows PC Games on macOS… well, it has what it has, thanks in part to Steam and the Apple's effort to minimize this difference.And it is that Windows is the platform chosen by developers to launch the most impressive titles.

There is no launch of a self-respecting game that does not have a place in Windows Microsoft's is the most popular platform and with the highest video game potential. And part of the blame for this success lies with DirectX, a tool that also makes it easier for developers to create video games. A catalog that will also grow with the arrival of exclusives that were previously only for Xbox One.

We find high-end hardware

Before we could talk about a range of Apple computers with better finishes, with a more premium character. But the latest launches of equipment under the Surface brand, the seal of Microsoft, has managed to place the Redmond brand at the level of the bestThe Surface Studio 2 has nothing to envy to the iPad, the same thing that happens if we compare the Surface Book 2 against a MacBook.

Surface computers look at Apple ones from face to face, by power, by finishes… and by price. The latest releases have placed the Surface range in the noble part of the catalogue, so much so that it is no longer strange to see them as protagonists in many companies or homes where before the PC was almost an element to hide.

Touchscreens

"

If we want to access a large touch screen in Apple we must opt ​​for the iPad Pro. In Windows, however, there are computers, apart from tablets or convertibles, that offer this possibility Being an operating system present in different brands, it is up to manufacturers to launch an X computer with certain features ."

Apple controls _hardware_ and _software_, for better and for worse. Windows leaves a part open to its _partners_ and all kinds of alternatives open up there. If you're looking for a touchscreen computer to use with a stylus or your hand, a Windows computer is your best bet… right now.

Prices for all budgets

And we ended up talking about a factor such as price. When it's time to renew my 2014 MacBook Pro (it's getting older) fear makes me think of the close to 3,000 euros that it will cost me to get a new computer high performance. The same goes for the iMac range… my blood runs cold. However, this does not occur on Windows-based computers.

The extreme, moreover, is that we can assemble a computer with Windows piece by piece, by hand, ourselves. It is cheaper and for a lower price we can achieve the same gross power that, for example, Apple equipment offers.

"

There are very top models, it&39;s true, in terms of price and performance, but there are also cheaper ones, for those who don&39;t want to, they can or need to make such an important disbursement. And that price is one of the main advantages of Windows over Mac."
