I use both of their products.

I play on the Xbox One, but I also use a MacBook Pro.

They both have their positives.

I choose both.
Windows for Gaming
Mac for business/school.

So why not a Surface or Windows Phone?

I feel like Windows users are too biased. They aren't even comparable companies. MS only makes Xbox's, the Surface, and OS. Apple makes better phone OS, no gaming console, and products that last. Plus, if you really need windows, you can seamlessly integrate it via Bootcamp.

You can't really compare them directly.

Microsoft -> software company
Apple -> device company/manufacturer

Microsoft is a company that is primarily concerned with developing software/OS and selling that to manufacturers. These manufacturers then build their own devices which run Microsoft's OS/software. This is why the majority of Microsoft's profits come from software like Windows and Office.

Apple is a company that is primarily concerned with developing products, so they're a manufacturer. However, they also build the OS and software surrounding these products. But, the majority of their profits come from their own devices (iPhone/iPad/laptops/desktops).

Comparing Apple and Microsoft is like comparing Google and HP, or Nintendo and Amazon.

I, as a designer love both, but I love MS more. Is is easier to understand and use, cheaper, and easier/cheaper to upgrade parts.


Design programs do run really smoothly on Macs though.



They are both great machines, but it really and truly comes down to preference.
