With true convertibles like the Microsoft Surface Pro, Windows lets you go between a laptop and tablet easily. While you may want to just find a Windows PC that comes as close as possible to a MacBook without going nuts, Windows at least gives you a multitude of options.
Want something that can tear through the latest PC games? No problem. Need a basic laptop that's affordable and gets the job done? Easy. Need a premium ultraportable with great battery life? Done. I personally ignore touch most of the time, but it's a great option for the few times I need it.Įven within these design segments, you have a ton of choice. With MacBooks you're limited to a couple minor riffs on the same design, but with Windows you can get a laptop, a laptop with a nearly bezel-less display, a 2-in-1 that can fold backwards to become a tablet, a laptop where you can detach the screen entirely, or a tablet with a cover that turns into a keyboard.Īnd whether you use it or not, the ability for the entire OS to adapt to work as a touchscreen is impressive.
The beauty of the Windows platform is that you can get a Windows PC in an incredible amount of configurations. Windows laptops come in many forms, giving you way more options for how you want to work. Keep an eye on your return policy in case you just can't adapt, but don't underestimate the time investment. When I switch to a new laptop I can usually get around 75, but it takes at least a couple of weeks to get back up to full speed and re-learn how to do everything. Because PCs come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, it takes time for your muscles to re-learn how to type at speed. Most MacBooks have very similar keyboards and switching from one to another is (a few exceptions aside) usually pretty painless. Typing is also a big frustration at first. Even basic things like learning where the "File" menu went in your favorite apps will take some time. Even if you buy a laptop that looks and feels as great as a MacBook, it'll still take a few weeks to form new habits. The number one rule of switching ecosystems is to just give it time. If you are feeling burned by Apple's recent design changes, you're not alone.
