Lifetime Apple User Switches to Windows

Wondering what it would be like to switch to Windows after over a decade of using Apple?

For the longest time, I’ve been extremely loyal to Apple; to the point where I didn’t actually know what Windows was capable of any more. So, I thought, why not find out! So I switched to Windows from my M2 MacBook Air! Let’s see how this goes!

--SMPOST--Why I Switched to Windows from Mac (And You Should Too)

[GoMetricToday]

Windows Phone Link on Windows 11 does support making phone calls. Your phone just needs to be linked via Bluetooth. I'm a former Mac user up until about 6 months ago. I got tired of Apples stale ecosystem, and premium price for honestly sub par tech. I have gone completely team Android with my Samsung Z-Fold 4, Samsung watch, Samsung ear buds, and now Windows. I don't regret the change in the least. The only Apple devices in the house now are my husbands iMac, iPhone, Watch, Airpods, and our Apple TV's.

i moved to windows after a decade on macs... primarily as i grow older i realize that freedom is very important. freedom to upgrade, use 3rd party hardware, tools, software and just make what you buy, truly your own.

For what it's worth, it seems too much of an advert to compare the Legion with a fanless MB Air, which is an ultrabook in every context! A gaming/pro machine versus an ultrabook seems wrong. The real test would be MB Pro 14 M3 Pro -v- the Legion. Is the MB Pro worth the extra $400 over the Legion? That is a test which is fair and equitable.

A very fair treatment and I whole-heartedly agree, as a fellow wall-garden Apple user. My backup, mostly for games, is the Dell XPS 9530 (i9, 4070, fhd+). It's a great machine but it really doesn't compare when it comes to the battery, screen, speakers of my 16" M1 Pro. I live comfortably in both worlds. The competition is healthy.

Interesting. I have been looking at Windows myself. Although I do love my Mac. I am so used to to it and do love the machines but its no longer a BETTER Choice than Windows anymore they have become so common place now and are actually just very over priced machines for what they are. Maybe I will treat myself to a lenovo for doing well in business this year.

Windows 11 is actually very nice now and the fact that I feel like Apple products are so expensive for nothing is crazy. Most people will spend 4k+ just to use 1-2 programs in the mac environment.

[spaceowl]

For me personally, I will always stick with Windows for my PCs and Laptops - but I prefer the iPhone with an iPad and an Apple Watch as a student.

[mariannegoju]

I love my Apple products, but it’s fun to see what else is out there… I for sure am open to the idea of having a backup laptop that uses Microsoft software.

I went from mac to a windows device along time ago, and I have not looked back! They are more affordable, and easier to upgrade down the road!

[harryvlogs]

Don't worry you'll find windows much easier to use and more powerful in editing and gaming. And they don't rip you of with 8gb ram as a base which apple do

[davidgough]

I hope you get your new Apple Watch before they legally have to stop selling them... 😂

[modoulaminceesay]

He’s right apple is expensive for no reason . Just crazy

[sigarner]

here for the lifelong Windows user switches to Mac content 😅

[VeronicaSteele]

I need to use Windows for work but I’ve been a Mac user for over 15 years. Any recommendations on how I can be productive on Windows? The one feature I’m struggling with the most is desktops on two monitors. The struggle is real.

If you android just connect your phone with a usb and everything is available on windows to modify

[dhruvmeena]

I see fractal torrent behind and from here i conclude that you are a man of culture as well

[jeanbaptistelabelle]

Why not speaking of NATIVE Link to Windows? Out ot the box on Windows and on most Android natively as well? That allows exactly the same type of ecosystem stuff that you mentioned between Apple devices.

[unkownx]

Oh and you can upgrade it... Apple would never in this day and age...

[niklasrenneberg]

The Lenovo have a lower single core and a higher multicore than the MacBook, because he had more cores in number but less efficient in single operating.
