Mac versus Windows based on my experience.

I have read a lot of articles about Mac versus Windows. I’ve been a die-hard Windows user since the early 1990’s. Prior to that I used a Commodore Amiga and started with a Commodore 64. Prior to just about 3 weeks ago I had only used an Apple computer once and it was an Apple Macintosh plus from nearly ancient history.

Let me say at this point I don’t want to convince anyone to change their views or opinions but merely to relate my experience.

I can honestly say that I am totally impressed with using a MacBook Pro. I have found nearly everything easier. I also enjoy how the computer, the iPad, and iPhone all work together. What I was also impressed with was the migration from one system to another. A lot of my Windows settings and such would have transferred to the MacBook. I chose to only migrate a small amount.

As a photographer and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom user I have also found that switching between those two applications appears to be much smoother. I think it is important to note that my primary Windows system is a decent computer, with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 16 gb or ram, a 4 gb video card and loads of storage. The MacBook is an Intel i-7 with 16 gb of ram.

At this point in time, I am inclined to buy a newer (this MacBook is a 2017 version) MacBook Pro for my photo processing and travel needs. I’ll keep a Windows computer because I do play several computer games, but I am defiantly a fan of Mac computers.
