For students or creatives on a budget, a Windows computer is often the only choice because they’re available at different price points. The crux of the argument, when it comes to Windows versus Mac, is always cost. Pick a machine that works with your budget. Maybe it’ll assist in narrowing down your options. Which system is right for you is only for you to decide, but I can help. Each system has its strengths and weaknesses. What it boils down to is your budget, patience (or lack thereof), and whether you prefer to buy a pre-built computer or build it yourself. Like most things when it comes to tech, it depends on the user. I’ve used both operating systems extensively, but I don’t have a clear-cut recommendation.

I won’t get into the specifics of Chrome or Raspbian, as their use is still quite niche, but I want to compare the two most prominent operating systems in the world: Windows and macOS. That said, I know each of the four major operating systems and have a good understanding of their benefits and drawbacks. I’m also familiar with Chrome OS - having owned three Chromebooks - and I have some experience using Linux via the Raspbian OS, which is the OS for the Raspberry Pi. I’ve been a Windows user throughout my life, except in college, when I owned a MacBook Air. Windows computers are more affordable, easier to upgrade, and compatible with more software, but Macs streamline the user experience to deliver a high-end machine that looks and performs great. Let’s dive into the advantages and inconveniences of each.
