There are professionals who buy a Mac just to install and use Windows on it. This is a lack of experience in both of the OS universe.

Saying that Macs crashes often and more often than a common or good laptop it's false. To crash was absolutely normal, specially during the Summer. With my older PCs, I had hours of maintenance every week to clean that dish washer from trojan, spyware and sometimes viruses.

In 12 years of intense use of mac, I had 2 crashes. I have respect for serious producers of machines.Īs a person that studied architecture and that used PCs and Mac Pros, I can tell that reading this comment it's like to get inside a computer shop during the '90s and listen, with patience, the 'lecture' of the clerk about the amazing Windows OS and the power of PCs.įirst, with the price of a BMW it's difficult to buy a 'common' car that it's better than a BMW, just for the fact that it doesn't exist. It won't be about feelings, cause I don't have feelings for machines. Hope i did not hurt the feeling of anyone, If so then you might accept a leaser performance. The only reason you might want a MacBook Pro is aesthetics, or that you are totally under the latest apple frenzy. You have to keep tour laptop clean, some vendors have what is called 'signature widows' products, this means that there is no extra junk-ware installed, just the OS. You have PC laptops that can be used as tablets as well as more classic laptops, most of them are tactile and you can use all type of applications.ĥ. You have to keep in mind that a PC laptop needs to be clean! Often vendor or constructor specific applications installed with the PC are resource consuming and unstable. However, resource-demanding applications like Revit, Rhino, 3DsMax or AutoCAD will run better on a professional range laptop PC.Ĥ. You have a wider range of products to address your needs. Often people compare a 2000$ MacBook running office and illustrator with a 300$ PC laptop running Revit and of course in that case a mac might be better. If you want to be able to render, work on large complex models, from my experience and there is no comparison, the best way to go is a professional range PC laptop.Ģ. The Mac has a poor software ecosystem, all software (and of course Revit) do not exist in native versions, and although boot camp or parallels is a possible way to go it still not worth it to go through such a complication, for the amount of money you will spend.ģ. On the contrary of what is commonly believed, my students crash much more often on Macs than on PCs. Dell, Lenovo, HP have professional laptops that are much faster with much better graphics cards and faster SSDs.

So according to what I have seen I would definitely go for the PC laptop option.ġ. For the price of a MacBook pro, you can find a better laptop PC. I am teaching architecture and my students use both solutions.

Parallels vs bootcamp
