"Scrolling back to smash the like button makes your operating system crash 13.7% less on average" - Steve Jobless

windows is better for gaming and mac is better for work and shut up in the comments chrome book is is better for nothing

The conclusion is just be rich and buy both, and then shutup because you rich.

1:10 Windows also has built in screen recorder. Snipping tool (Windows 11) can now also record videos, and on both Windows 10 and 11, Pressing Win + G brings up bunch of tools, which also includes screen recording.

I was ADDICTED to the mouse on my Windows laptop and since I got my MacBook I haven't used a mouse for almost 2 years It's crazy how good the trackpad is on MacBooks

Few points (of mainly Windows user): 1. Like was pointed out below, in Windows you can use Gamebar (Win+G) which records also audio (and you can even have shortcut to plain start recording without opening anything), and snipping tool has this feature now too. 2. I don't know what screen coating has to do with OS (but most of today's Win laptops has gloss screen, not mate). 3. For virtual desktops, I would say that they are quite on par (maybe windows has less animations, but I really don't miss these. And Win+Tab do same trick as Mission Control, you can easily move apps here to different VDs, easy Win+Ctrl+arrow get's to another VD (and sorry, that different sizes and random positions of apps in MC really don't help to find app when you have open too many). But I agree that some things on Windows aren't also as great as they could be.

Macs actually do show you file transfer speeds but only if you're transferring files to an external device (e.g. microSD or external hard drive) the reason why it never shows you file transfer progress on the internal hard drive is because it's actually instant. The way that APFS works means that files are all actually located in whatever place is most convenient for them to be in storage, and your entire file structure links to references to the actual location of the files. This means that when you're moving a file from one location to another, it's actually only moving the reference, which takes up next to no space.

5:30 personal favourite, being able to use the same mouse and keyboard for an iPad and Mac at the same time

A few things regarding Mac: 1. Applications are not as sparse as depicted here and you also don’t need to go through the app store. You can easily download things and apps online just as if it was a windows computer. 2. Games are available on Mac, just very little AAA games because of Apple’s proprietary technology (Metal, for example). 3. It’s easy to customize your Mac and there are many different applications that change things (such as Finder). 4. Non-Apple mouses act just like if they were Apple’s mouse. Just go into the settings like you would for Windows to change the speed and scrolling direction. You don’t need other apps to make your mouse work like needed. 5. “Closing apps” is slightly true, but it depends on the app. Safari, for example, stays open so you can browse the web instantly without opening it up again. Reminders, however, will instantly close. This can be changed in settings, again. You don’t really have to worry about these apps being open though, since RAM management is awesome on the Mac. It barely draws ANY energy, which also contributes to battery life.

99% of these comparisons on YT look the same, but this one is a much-needed exception. Thank you so much for not including the usual, nauseating BS about "content creator's workflows", Final Cut, bizarre benchmarks, random screenshots from Apple keynotes and gasps about mobility. This is one of the very few, real, user-oriented comparisons between the two systems. There are pros and cons of both and you clearly pointed them out, whilst remaining neutral. Your channel deserves far more views. Keep up the excellent work!

Great video! I also switched from Windows to MacOS about a year. I am still confused about why Macbook users always said MacOS is much friendly than Windows, the shortcut keys combinations are horrible to me. And MacOS's multi-window / split screen features are far less than Windows. But power(battery), noise and heat managements are no doubt beyond all the Windows laptop. For me, I would definitely to own another Windows desktop at Home but enjoy Macbook on the go to have both advantages.

You switch the topics so smoothly, its mesmerising. nice video

Probably my favorite comparison video of all time. This style WORKS and makes clear the pros and cons of each!

First thing to do when you buy a PC: reinstall windows using an iso from Microsoft without any extra software

as a user of both, I find this review very on point, good job! much covered in so little time

I like the mouse/trackpad behavior on Mac but I hate the issues it has with both multiple screens and with spaces. I haven’t tried the new stage manager yet but I’m sure I’ll hate it too. Not that multitasking is all bad on Mac but it has its annoyances that you can’t do anything about.

I've tried Windows, Macos, GNOME desktop, and KDE. For me GNOME is the most intuitive desktop. It has simplicity UI like MacOS, and robust key shortcuts like Windows. Best of the both world, except you can't run MS Office natively.

5:51 For Windows, there is an app from Microsoft "Your Phone" that works great with Android phones. For some phones from Samsung and Huawei, there are additional functions (screen casting to PC, opening applications, wireless photo transfer etc).

Using a macbook myself, its feels great to memorize keybinds that bypass the struggle of "missing features windows have".

Switching between windows for the same app on Mac is actually a lot easier if you learn trackpad gestures. I still occasionally miss the old alt-tab or ctrl-tab combo from Windows, but gestures on MacOS give a simple, uniform way to switch windows, apps, desktops, etc, and even launch other apps. Also, while the number of free apps on Mac is comparatively small (when compared to Windows), they are still present on the app store, so what you said on that front wasn't strictly true. Otherwise, a fair comparison. And yes, I still don't get why closing a window on MacOS doesn't close the app as well! Very odd choice that one. P.S. I use both daily and like both for their strengths, so no axe to grind here. ;)

if you want to find the window you want on macOS, just force click the app icon or double-"tap" your trackpad and it will reveal all windows you have from any space (except the one in full screen)

4:34 Fonts just get an 8k monitor and an RTX 4070Ti to run it 💀

I would like a part 2! You make quality content. Great job!

Really thanks for the helpful information and super fun conversation.

I've seen a lot of talk about the Game Bar for recording on Windows, but it's worth mentioning that it is also now (I'm running an Insider build, not sure if this is in general release yet) built into the snipping tool.

1:05 lemme tell you, "IT'S WINDOWS+G" You're welcome!

I also used to have a windows Inspiron from 2015 or 2016 (I can't remember). What I do remember was how fun it was to customize it and make it look just like macOS. Although it didn't ever work as smoothly as macOS.

Great great comparison! I subscribed! ❤😊

I have both, Macbook Air M1 & Legion 5 Pro 5800H both high end models. And let me tell you this video is 100% describes what I'm going through, I can't let go of any one of them, mac freaks me out when it comes to real computing and working with different apps, but its the greatest laptop to watch movies, browse internet, send emails and write assays with its smooth functioning, amazing screen, pretty loooong battery life and very good speakers that not any non apple laptops can beat. While my windows laptop is my gaming baby, and I can have any type of tools and programs to work with in peace without any frustration and limitations. So If you can afford it: Get both

the best comparation video that I’ve seen about those two OS, PLEASE A PART TWO!

Fantastic video. Although I'm no closer to deciding if I'll ever get a macbook pro or not.. haha

Great summary!

This feature has been made available in the newest snipping tool in windows 11. Just by windows + shift + s, you will be able to record the whole or any part of your screen

To start recording a video of the screen on Windows - press Win+Alt+R. Press the same combination again to stop the recording. Yes, it's built-in on every Windows by default.

Really nice presentation. Covered most thing in really short time.

I bought a Surface laptop 4 and as a long time Mac user (2008), I must say, it's pretty nice!

I went back to Windows after 12 years on macOS and am loving every minute of it. Of all the positives, chief among them is the S-tier window management.

This was the most fair video I’ve ever seen on the two OSs. I would say though that it’s more about getting used to the way each OS does workflow. You mentioned that window management is terrible on the Mac but also say that the trackpad is amazing. In fact, the trackpad is how you do window management. It’s how you get around. If you want to see all of the windows of one application you just flip down with four fingers. And there are videos in settings showing you what everything does for the trackpad. I wish flip down was enabled by default. And yes, better snap tool is the first thing I install on my Mac to get back that windows feature. The problem on the Mac is that it is really geared to people who know absolutely nothing. So it won’t give you the extra information that the average user doesn’t care about. The worst thing about the Mac though is the security is getting insane for anything that is not on the App Store. If you go off the beaten track at all Apple is going to complain about it and you’ll be giving permission for things every other minute. This for me is the worst thing about Apple. It wasn’t like this in the Jobs era. I have not really experienced a problem with keyboard shortcuts on the Mac. It is confusing though about quitting apps. Because sometimes, like in settings, closing the window does close the program. But this is very inconsistent. No one would argue that gaming is great on the Mac. However it is good. On my M1 pro MacBook Pro (a terribly named computer if there ever was one) there are very few things I cannot play. Now I am not a fps kind of guy. But, I have found that by the time you use wine/Crossover and Parallels, along with GeForce now, you’re mostly good to go. And now Microsoft is joining the fray with GeForce now. There isn’t much you can’t play. However, setting up games on the Mac is often not for the faint of heart. It does require technical skills with Crossover or Parallels. If gaming is your primary use, just stay away from it.

You can actually switch between apps using ALT + TAB, just like in windows

7:30 Where's mention that Mac OS DOESN'T SUPPORT CUSTOM SCALING AT ALL!!! ONLY CHANGING HIDPI RESOLUTION TOGETHER WITH INTERFACE SIZE.....

I loved how objective this was and how you clearly not favorited one over the other

Outside of games I pretty much use my Mac for everything now. I love it, and I highly recommend every PC gamer get one to use as a secondary machine

Dude, your vids are amazing!

awesome video! little correction: windows has a screenrecorder built in as well. Try pressing ctrl + g for the game center or whatever its called

great sound btw, with high quality video

I have to agree about speakers 100% :) My work macbook pro 16 speakers actually DEFY physics! Besides that I love the multitasking in Windows while on Macbook it's way easier to use multiple desktops. Fully quitting and finding other windows of apps is really annoying tho ;)

#Smasheded the sub! This guy has some awesome humor right there.

Your transitions between Mac and Windows are so smooth

Bro literally having an argument with himself. Genius.

4:09 Linux wants to know your location

I've owned a Mac for 9 years and I didn't know about the Command-Shift-5 feature! I only knew about Command-Shift-3 & 4! Thank you for talking about this

On Windows you also have any combination of Ctrl, Alt, Shift and sometimes even the Windows Logo Key as modifiers. It's just more consistent across most common apps, but it can be just as nightmarish as on Mac

4:44 yea, until you connect your mac to a FullHD monitor

This might be the best comparison video I found. In depth, easy to understand and covers topics most real world users care about. 👍

ngl the recorded sound is really good.

I just loved your video and love much more windows hahaha new follower!

Thank you for this comparison. I've found that having a MacBook for just laptop use and using Windows on desktop is a great combo if you can afford it. The laptop is so great on it own and I wish there was a monitor that was as good as the laptop screen. Mac definitely has a learning curve compared to windows, especially with shortcuts. But I'm not that big on customisation so I learn the parts that I need and keep it moving.

Also, there are plenty of gestures you can do on the trackpad of a Windows laptop. Some you have to configure in settings and you can chose what they do (ie; 4 finger swipe up: increase volume, 3 finger swipe; task view, ect)

3:22 man discovering new mac porting tollkit

Top ! Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo; next will be in french 😁 ? Kind regards Cyrille

Macbook glossy screen has a really good non reflective coating, I would take it over matte finish any day. I had my problems with 13 inch m1 MBP but 16 inch m1 MBP is literally the best tech device I ever used. I have 0 complaints about it and I mean it.

6:28 bro buy a galaxy book pro it has a 20 hour battery life and it doesn't need anything

Yes! Please make a part 2. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

OMG, I loved this!! Informative and hilarious, a great combination. Well done!

I like this video so much. A perfect comparison.

I started with Mac back in the early 90s, went to Windows around 94, back to mac 2005, now I am back to windows 2022. I prefer mac os for work use and stability. I don't mind Windows 10. I will start to use Linux soon. The best thing about Windows is you can have a desktop that you can open up and clean dust, upgrade hardware and generally a lot cheaper for the same specs. The best thing about Mac is you know it will just work while the hardware doesn't fail. The OS is flawless and will never bog down. I am hoping that linux gives me that mac os like experience with a desktop upgradeable tower. I will never go back to Apple though from bad experiences with hardware and employment with Apple. I've had two macbook pros fail on me, just outside of warranty. Of course the repair cost at Apple was higher than a brand new PC with better specs so they just became paperweights. I worked for Apple as tech support and felt like I was in slave labour camp. I realise their best sellers like the iPhones and their airpods are not bleeding edge anymore in design and function compared to competition. In fact I feel like innovation has slowed across the board and a bunch of other companies have caught up to Apple. So here I stand, from Mac to Windows/Linux and from iOS to Android. I used to be the biggest Apple fanboy too.

as user of Mac and Windows , I really comfort to use windows since its more practical , open source and user friendly .

To switch between windows of the same app on Mac you can enable "App expose" in the trackpad configuration.

Straight to the point, simple & not confusing, thank you.

Microsoft does have good phone integration. "Your phone" lets you do so much that IOS and mac can do. You can text, use your phone apps, call, and so much more

Fun fact: you can now have nearby share on windows, so sharing files between android and windows is now super easy, just as airdrop

How do you enable magnification effect seen on 3:00 ?

Primarily Mac user here with a Windows gaming laptop and I agree with everything you just said. I hardly use my Asus G15 unless I wanna play Resident Evil Village but use my M1 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro for everything else like working and media consumption.

Part two please 🙏🏾

To use a mac os you have to buy a macbook, which is not a very affordable for everyone and you have to update regularly to be in "trend". Windows on the other hand can run on any cheap calculator that you can buy. The main disadvantage of the two os's is the price. Apple and Windows are just too greedy to do something about their high prices, because to be honest they are not customer oriented companies. They are customer oriented only from the perspective of earning money (you must think of customers to make something working flawlessly), but they do that only for profit. Unfortunately we don't have many free or affordable options in the marketplace, linux is free of charge but it is very difficult to operate specifically for non-tech specialists.

As an upcoming uni student with a desktop PC, a Mac seems like the best option. I’ve been an iPhone user with an Apple Watch for a while, so the integration when I’m on campus would be great. But when I get back home I can game and use my more powerful machine.

I loved the smooth transitions between each topic. Nice work!

Sometimes with windows, you need a specific laptop to create such a comparison; for instance, the hardware on Dell XPS laptops is insanely good too.

Please mention the Window laptop you are comparing to?

Windows has a built in screen record function using the snipping tool. I hope you find that useful!

Bro installed tlauncher😂 at 2:42

Anyone have a clue what the wallpaper he used at 8:05 is? The purple fog/smoke one.

haven't run a PC in years and Mac user for a long 10 plus years. had to download windows onto my Mac for specific programs and now I remember the feelings of why I switched , lol... the simplest tasks on a Mac can take hours to figure out on PC...

finally a video that's not taking sides

I'd like part 2, definitely. I am interested to see what does MacOS lack compared to Windows or what extra it does have. Please make it. 😊

1:54 App Expose only swipe down four fingers to reveal all the windows of an app

Very good and informative video. I use both OS. I use Mac for all my work. And have a PC for gaming primarily. I just like how contained, minimalist and good looking the whole Mac Eco system is out of the box.

Best comparison about windows vs mac i've come across so far. unbiased and talks from perspective of a normal user and not a content creator only

Windows Snipping Tool can record videos and take screenshots

Most of macs shortcuts are like linux if you have ever used linux before you should not have a problem for switching 😊

gotta admit the option command control buttons also confused the living shit out of me when i switched.

Your audio quality is very good.

Both are great OS's now. However, the only Windows laptops that compare to Apple build quality (trackpad included) are Surface devices... however, unfortunately Microsoft puts terribly underperforming parts in them and charges as much, if not more, than Apple, but with like half of the performance and battery life. Therefore, if I wanted a desktop I'd go with Windows, and at the moment, I'd go with Apple for a laptop. I really hope Surface laptops get better. Dont me wrong, they have great displays, keyboards, track pads, and general build quality, but often they have bad battery life and underwhelming performance, especially compared to Apple's chips now.

There is an app for macs called ‘Mos’ to improve third party mouse support. Fixes the inverted scrolling and makes scrolling smoother too.

You can actually record you screen with a built in softwear, click the windowed button and the g key. Then go to screen capture. So it’s easier than the mac’s.

Thanks @Bog. This is a good comparison. Unbiased. Please do a part 2.

I used to think having a mouse was a requirement for me but now that i have a MacBook with that insanly good trackpad i always used it a lot more than my actual mouse lol.

Windows' virtual desktops actually have gotten really better since the first release of Windows 10, I have a Thinkpad that I use for work and the multiple desktops are a life-saver for me. And also about the trackpad: a well built Windows laptop (Thinkpad is at the top of the game here i think) has a trackpad that is just as smooth as a Macbook trackpad. The only downside on a Windows machine is the battery life in my opinion: I've seen Macbook users getting 7-8 hours on a single charge while my Thinkpad at most gives 4-4.5 hours. One last note is the clipboard which Windows handles excellently (activated by Windows + V), I haven't seen any Macbooks having built-in clipboards while the Windows one lets you keep track of copied text, pictures and even whole Excel sheets' rows.

Couple things which are just straight up incorrect. 3rd party mice can be easily customised in System Preferences (settings) Applications can easily be downloaded from the web, you aren't limited to the app store. Whilst Mac's windows management isn't great, in your windows demonstration you are literally using power toys - an app you have to install. Copying / moving files is not done in the background, the disk is AFPS which references files as links so doesn't take very long. It will show you the transfer speed copying to external storage. You can use activity monitor to view disk transfer speeds. You really have to make sure you know the operating systems properly before putting out a video on them.

THIS IS PRETTY GOOD VIDEO! Apple font doesn't work as well on common external monitor. You need to take in consideration of resolution and screen size. 1440p 27" is probably better than 4k...
