Reddit Or Windows For Coding Software Makes This

Even tho the new MacBook Pro has better SSD, screen (yes infinity edge and the QHD touch is cool, but I think the MacBook Pro screen is better), and processor, and much better OS, also the Mac last like forever, while none of my windows laptops lasted more then 1,5-2,5 years (and being ALOT slower when starting to get closer at the end of their life cycle).

Lately I have been thinking about switching to Mac and getting the 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro (the 2016 just doesnt seem like enough of a difference for what I need to justify the price).

I study Human Movement at University and also have a wine business which I will need to work from laptop.

I was wondering if anyone who has switched from windows to Mac could share their experience in regards to the transition and if they would recommend doing it.

Mac OS is the only thing keeping me on Apple laptops due to the lackluster upgrades.

Sucked myself into a 2016 13 Pro cause my 2012 was on its last leg) First off the trackpad and gestures make the user experience amazing.

Windows has added some of these gestures and multiple desktops since Windows 10 but Apple having control of the hardware and software makes this a much better experience and more reliable.

I have iPad, watch, iPhone, Mac Pro, and MacBook and they all sync so well together.

There is nothing in the Windows side of things that comes close.

As long as your not looking for a gaming or ultra high end desktop replacement machine I truly feel the Mac OS and MacBook experience is unmatched.

Also made some earlier posts about my experience of owning a Dell XPS 13, and how that worked out (long story short, it didnt).

After getting my 13 inch MacBook Pro nTB (2016) with i7 2.4 ghz, 16gb ram and 512gb SSD and used it for 2 days, I can tell you that compared with windows machines, its on a whole other level.

We are talking perfection here, a real premium laptop, and you definitely are getting what you are paying for But yea, its expensive.

What pointed me in the direction of Apple was the experience of owning several Windows laptops thru the years, ranging from Alienware 13, surface pro 3 and 4, MSI GS40, Asus, Hp, Dell XPS 13 etc.

And Ive been having nothing but problems, especially since everything after windows 7.

Its super annoying having ur trackpad stop working every 3rd days or so because of some stupid windows update, that fucked up other things it was not suppose to.

Build quality has only been good on the XPS 13 and Alienware 13, but again speakers, wlan card, motherboard and other stuff did break for me in a very short time of using them, so really not that great.

I wish I knew Apple was this great before I spent like 10000 euros on shit laptops over the years.

Since theres so much Apple hate out there, its hard to make something out of all angry comments and reviews on the web since everyone seem to be biased to some extend.

I mean. If you directly would compare raw specs between lets say the new 2016 MacBook Pro 15 TB and the Dell XPS 15, they would be very close graphics and performance wise on the paper, still Apple gettings lots of hate on its product while the Dell XPS gets away easy.

Sure that MacBook Pro 15 TB with the amd 460, i7 quad 2.7 ghz, 16gb ram and 512 ghz would go for lets say 3250 euros, while the XPS would cost like 2100 euros making the MacBook Pro around 1000 more expensive, but as I said earlier.

You actually get the quality you pay for when it comes to Apple.

Dell XPS product line has lots of problems, were talking coil wine, motherboard and SSD that breaks, battery that loose its power after short time, throttling (at least before), etc.

These things nobody really talks about, they just looks at the price and specs, compare it to windows machines and then whine like crazy on the forums.

You cant even talk to these people.
