I've been a Mac user for over 15 years I
hated pcs they came loaded with a bunch
of software that slowed down my machine
and they caught viruses way too easily
not harassed you there 114,000 known
viruses for PCs pcs not max then I
discovered the Mac and it had everything
the PC did it but lately I've grown
frustrated with the Mac lineup and while
Apple has let its Mac lineup stagnate
Windows 10 computers have gotten really
good so I decided to make the switch
back for a few days and tested Huawei's
new make book X Pro which runs Windows
10 and starts at about $1200 some had
called it the best laptop you can buy
and guess what Windows is actually
really great and I may even like it
better than my Mac Windows 8 try to be
two operating systems in one one for
desktop and one for mobile and it failed
at both it even got rid of Windows
iconic Start menu but Windows 10 reverse
a lot of those mistakes the Start menus
back and it works great on the desktop
Windows 10 comes with Cortana the
Microsoft digital assistant it can dig
through files on your computer and even
search the web it's almost as good as
Google search Windows 10 also has a lot
more hardware options you only have a
few options when it comes to the Mac and
they all come with terrible trade-offs
but the Windows 10 hardware ecosystem
has something for everyone
- and ones convertibles tablets regular
laptops and everything in between
it lets you work the way you want to
work Windows 10 machines make the
MacBook lineup look pretty outdated then
there's touch which i think is the key
advantage to Windows 10 many if not most
Windows 10 pcs have built-in touchscreen
controls Apple has refused to put touch
screens on its max even though people
love to use them next there's price
Windows 10 computers range from a couple
hundred to a few thousand bucks you're
always going to find something within
your price range but regardless of which
Mac you choose you can always expect to
spend at least a thousand bucks
the maple X Pro I've been testing is the
perfect example of everything Windows 10
does right this thing has it all there's
a gorgeous touch screen with minimal
bezels and unlike MacBooks
doesn't compromise on ports there's the
new USBC and the classic standard USB so
you don't have to worry about buying
dongles to plug in all your accessories
then there's the beautiful design clever
hidden webcam fingerprint sensor all on
a tight package it looks great if he had
told me five years ago that a Windows
laptop would have all of these features
I never would have believed you so what
if you also want to make the switch it's
actually pretty easy today most programs
store all their stuff in the cloud so
things like slack and Gmail and your web
browser bookmarks I'll sync up no matter
what machine you're using of course
there's some drawbacks to Windows 10
Windows 10 tablets are pretty bad the
app selection isn't nearly as good as it
is on the iPad and if you just want to
tablet you're better off with the iPad
instead it can also be tough to switch
over if you're already using Apple
services like iCloud iMessage and notes
that data can be pretty hard to port
over to a Windows PC but overall the
Windows 10 ecosystem is superb at a time
when the Mac isn't showing any sign of
improvement Windows 10 has never looked
better it's a tongue-twister than me
yeah really
or just MacBook
