That's enough to handle the most demanding tasks. Editing video? Rendering 3D models? Alas, no. The screen's resolution is close through 3, x 2, , and, more importantly for this use case, it offers impressive color calibration for a laptop.
The Pantone-validated screen covers 97 percent of the DCI-P3 wide color gamut, which is about as good a coverage as you'll get in this form factor. As an added bonus, the StudioBook Pro 17 somehow weighs just 5. As with Apple's offering, the base model Z2 Mini is appealingly cheap but not very powerful it starts with an Intel i3 chip, which you can upgrade. Throw in a nice ultrawide monitor and you'd arguably have a decent alternative to the Mac Pro as well as the Mac Mini.
We take the iMac design for granted these days, but I still struggle to see the appeal. Is it so awful to have a separate PC and monitor connected by—the horror—a cable? With a wide, inch curved display, you get the real estate of two separate monitors in one contiguous LCD panel.
Assuming you don't have a problem with a PC and monitor that are separate pieces, there is no shortage of options that are far cheaper than the HP or the iMac. That can be configured up to a core model with 1. Serious competitive players obsess over everything from the graphics card to the processor to the amount of memory inside their computers, constantly tweaking and buying new hardware to stay current.
Macs, meanwhile, are almost impossible to upgrade easily. And unless you shell out big bucks for the most decked-out Mac models, they're underpowered compared to comparable Windows gaming machines in the first place. Most important of all, while Mac is more of a gaming platform than ever, it still can't match the depth and breadth of the game selection for the Windows PC — a legacy stretching back to the '90s.
If you want to play hit games like " Overwatch " or " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ," and you don't own a video game console or you don't want to use unofficial workarounds , you'll need a PC. When your Mac breaks, you can book an appointment and take it to your local Apple Store. There, a specialist can help you out with your Mac. If the problem can be fixed in one session, there's usually no charge. Microsoft has its retail stores, with its Genius Bar-like Answer Desk.
The customer service at the Microsoft Stores is great. But unlike Apple, Microsoft doesn't make all of the computers it sells, which means they sometimes have to send it back to the manufacturer for repairs.
And there simply aren't as many Microsoft Stores as there are Apple Stores. Since there are still far fewer Macs than Windows PCs out there, Apple's platform simply presents a smaller target for attackers. In other words, a hacker can attack more computers with less effort by targeting Windows. But that won't last forever, and we've seen evidence of this as an increasing number of viruses have surfaced on Macs in recent years.
Apple is working to stay ahead of this by baking new protections into the newest versions of macOS, Apple's operating system for the Mac. And since Apple's Mac operating system is built on Unix, it's a little more secure by default than Windows, Macworld reports. With Windows 10, Microsoft tried to merge the user-friendliness of Windows 7 with the touchscreen-friendliness of Windows 8.
Generally speaking, it works. And you can switch between a traditional desktop and a "tablet mode" that gives you a grid of apps, making it easier to get around with just your finger or a stylus.
Apple macOS has a cleaner, less busy look. At its most basic level, you have a desktop, a dock for accessing all of your favorite apps, and a taskbar across the top of the screen.
There are many different PC manufacturers, giving customers lots of different options and brands to choose from. Microsoft may be in the hardware business now, but companies like HP, Acer, Lenovo, Dell, and many others still make the vast majority of Windows PCs in the world.
This offers variety and features that can fit anyone's budget or preference. With Windows 10, Microsoft tried to make one operating system that can run on laptops, desktops, tablets, smartphones, and even the futuristic HoloLens holographic goggles. Apple makes both the Mac hardware and the macOS software.
So if you want a Mac, you need to go through Apple. If you want to get really technical, it is possible to build your own "Hackintosh," or a traditional PC that runs Apple's operating system. Here's a quick guide if you want to learn how to do it. Freedom to choose your price-point, freedom to take your hardware to a repair shop, freedom to choose your parts. PC has cornered the market here. If your best friend works on computers for a living and yours breaks down, take it to them to have a quick repair or hardware replacement.
The only way to get Mac parts is to take it to a Mac authorized repair center. When it comes to the workplace, Windows is the predominant OS by a mile. Switch platforms, however, and you can kiss all that goodbye: experienced Mac OS systems engineers are like gold dust. However, to suggest, as it does, that your PC is at risk from more than , viruses, is ludicrous. One of the more common complaints from new-to-Mac users is that everything is backward. Your minimize web page button is on the left of the window rather than the right.
Your keyboard shortcuts are wonky, to say the least. Need to copy and paste something? One thing we hate in is extra keystrokes and clicks. Apple has plenty of these for the most basic actions. Macs are shut out from a wide range of products and services, from Windows-only home security kits to music download stores and MP3 players — including the Creative Zen Vision:M. Even relatively simple peripherals, such as the handy U3 memory sticks, are persona non grata on Mac OS X.
The open architecture of the PC platform, on the other hand, means you can build your own PC from the ground up or pay someone to do it for you. With your own choice of case, CPU, monitor, and other components, you might even end up with a system designed for your personal workspace, rather than for a penthouse condo on the Lower East Side.
Sure, one great thing about the Mac is that everything is combined into one monitor. Fortunately, PCs also have this option but still, give you the freedom to customize. Indeed, if we were feeling bold, we could even predict that touchscreens will be an integral part of consumer PCs within the next decade. A Mac with low memory has a terrible tendency to fall over in a stiff breeze, which widens the price gap between comparable Mac and PC specifications even more. No, really!
