I won't buy an Apple laptop because it is much more expensive than the Windows laptop. Besides, the operating system is different and if I am not a professional designer, I won't consider to use the Apple laptop because it doesn't support many software as well as Windows laptop. I love China

Well, I have an answer for this back in my IT days, I'm just not sure if its still applicable now. Back then I would say that Apple is best known for graphics application. So if you are into, business, word processing stuff and programming I'd say you'd choose something like Linux or Windows

I prefer much more pc than apple!!So If you will buy apple ,excluding nice design,you will pay much more money andyou will have a normal configuration so it doen't worth the cost!!You must count also that apple os is really closed so every software you want install you should buy expensive license or pay money for some services from apple too!!As regards pc you can choose your os you can install linux too..There is much more freeware available and so i think that you have much more possibility and a cost a bit cheaper!! As regards different models..i think you should take a 11''-13'' inch if youa re looking fro an ultraportable ..cofiguration is really various is suggested to take an i core proccesors tarting from an i5 and a good ram starting from 4 gb ddr3!!

Windows is a lot more 3rd party friendly (a lot more people develop applications and programs for them), and a lot more companies have released drivers for Windows as opposed to Apple. Windows computers are a lot more customizable because they use parts that are pretty much interchangeable whereas Apple Macs must use specialized hardware. Macs are somewhat more user friendly but they don't allow as much customization. In my opinion, Macs are also a LOT more expensive compared to a Windows computer of the same hardware specs. I would say if you're looking for a laptop get a Windows, but a Mac can also work. If you ever need to buy a desktop, don't even consider Apple, gets a Windows, because when desktops are concerned they're hands down the best answer.
