Which laptop you should hire is a very tough decision. If you are considering hiring a laptop there are few things that you should consider. Also, the laptop cannot define your usability but can help you carry out your tasks more efficiently. It’s best to determine the use of laptop as it will lead you to the reason that why you need it. The laptop you want to hire needs to be perfect for you as they come in many sizes, patterns and they have different operating system installed. An operating system is one of the main things to consider when hiring a laptop, as they both come with individual benefits. The two leading competitors is Mac OS vs Windows.


What is an operating system?

An operating system is first loaded into the computer by a boot program. It then manages all the other application programs. The applications on your computer use the operating system to make requests for things to happen.

You may also be able to directly interact with the operating system through a user interface like a command-line interface (CLI) or a graphical UI (GUI). Two examples of interfaces are Cortana and Siri.

All about macOS

There are several pros and cons to consider when it comes to Macs.

Pros of Macs

When it comes to Macs, they are the no-brainer choice if you already have Apple products. All Apple products work seamlessly with each other, so if you have an iPhone or iPad, you will likely be better off with a Mac than a Windows PC.

Also, if you are already familiar with how the Apple OS works, you will find the Mac to be more intuitive. In general, Macs are known for their user-friendliness and approachability. They are more intuitive than Windows. While the way your iPad/iPhone and MacBook work may differ slightly, they are very similar, so it would be easy to adjust to the computer.

Macs are also known for their built-in retina displays that draw in people like graphic designers, artists, and anyone else looking for fantastic visual elements. The designs of Macs are also considered to look more artful than a Windows PC.

Cons of Macs

There are several cons to buying a Mac.

  • Mac computers tend to be much higher in price than Windows PCs.
  • It isn't uncommon for an application to be available on Windows but not on Mac because Windows is the more commonly used operating system.

All about Windows

There are pros and cons to buying a Windows PC, as well.

Pros of a Windows Laptop

Many brands of computers run Windows, which means you can find a Windows PC at almost any price point.

Touch screens are another place where Windows thrives over Apple. Windows 8 and Windows 10 were developed with touch screens in mind. This means your devices can act like different devices fairly easily. For example, laptops can become tablets, and you can use tablets like computers.

As mentioned above, Windows laptops have much more software available to them. Along with that, Windows laptops are extremely customizable, so you can buy your own parts to create a device you want.

Windows laptops are also known for their backwards compatibility, which means you can run older programs on a newer device. This is especially helpful for people who like to play games on their computer. Games may not be updated to the newer computer specs, but they will still play on the newer computer just fine.

Cons of a Windows laptops

Here are some of the cons of buying a Windows laptop.

  • More susceptible to virus attacks
  • Most major software (Photoshop, Office Suite, etc.) has to be bought separately and can be expensive.
  • The system can slow to the point of needing to reboot
  • Resource Intensive
  • Technical support is flaky

Conclusion

If you are looking for a device to do something that benefits from high visual resolution, a Mac is likely the way to go. It is also a good choice for people who already have Apple products. However, if you want a device, you can customize a lot and want to have more access to applications, a Windows laptop is the better bet. Overall, both have their flaws and benefits. From my experience macOS handles higher CPU draining applications that may be necessary when running an event or running adobe applications for example. However, Windows is more cost effective and more software available, but just because a mac can handle heavier applications does not mean windows can’t. It can, very well in fact and at a more cost-effective price. There are pros and cons to both like in anything and it essentially comes down to personal preference, but this is a list of things that may be essential to your brand when you considering hiring a laptop in the future.
