While purchasing a laptop is a pretty subjective decision, many people seem to have a dispute over whether to buy a Mac or a traditional PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, you\u2019ll see people who are devoted to Apple, only purchasing a Macbook. On the other hand, there are those who are completely against Apple, opting for more open-sourced software and customisability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, choosing a laptop is completely subjective. The best laptop for you is the one you want and the one that meets your needs. That said, there is a reason why MacBooks, whether the Air or Pro, have done so well in the market. And these are the reasons why we would suggest getting one. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

1. The Apple ecosystem is built for convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of Apple’s goals is generally to create products that are simple and convenient. While they sometimes get a bit adventurous and miss the mark here, their ecosystem definitely gets a tick on the convenience side of things. For instance, with your iPad, you can use Sidecar, turning your iPad into a secondary display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Apple’s latest update, you can mirror your iPhone onto your laptop. Now, you might say other laptops have been able to do that for ages, but this feature allows you to completely engage with your phone hands-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can drag and drop folders, answer calls, and use your phone as you would if it were in your hand. We think it\u2019s safe to say that Apple’s ecosystem and device syncing are a big reason why many opt for a Macbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Software updates are seamless and easy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, this isn\u2019t a shot at Windows, but there\u2019s nothing worse than needing to use your laptop, and suddenly it starts updating. Apple has a great approach to updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one, it\u2019ll download the update while you\u2019re working on it, and then update it when you\u2019re asleep or when you confirm that you\u2019re ready to install the update yourself. Basically, they make sure their updates aren\u2019t an inconvenience for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Macbooks generally last longer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Macbooks are machines! Nowadays, people are still purchasing older refurbished Apple Macbooks<\/a> because of their resilience and quality. When you purchase a MacBook, you can rest assured that it\u2019ll last you for at least four years before you have to get a new one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most computers, Macbooks will also reduce in their performance as they age, but the curve at which this happens is much slower in comparison to other PCs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. They\u2019re more compact and portable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you look at the newer Macs, the M series, they have smaller, more compact designs, making them ideal if you need a portable and lightweight laptop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is often why people purchase them. They\u2019re made with premium materials, making them durable and long-lasting. They\u2019re compact and light, easily fitting into your bag and perfect for working with on the go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. They perform well across the board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another one of Apple\u2019s best traits when it comes to Macs is consistency and reliability. While MacBooks might not be able to play the most comprehensive games, they offer consistently high performance across the board for most resource-intensive tasks, making them good all-rounders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. They have great battery life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Battery life has become an important feature in smart devices these days, with most people opting for devices with longer battery life. Apple’s newer laptops have amazing battery life, with the MacBook Air M1 2020 offering up to 18 hours of battery life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people love this, as they don\u2019t have to worry about their laptops dying during the day. Usually, one charge will last them the day. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

7. MacBooks are user-friendly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, while a Windows user might disagree with this because they\u2019re used to the Windows system, the MacOS is designed to be extremely user friendly, often making advanced efforts to assist users with disabilities and make accessibility easier for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With every new update, Apple advances their systems ease-of-use, with user experience being at the forefront of their goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An avid Windows user might contest some of these points, but again, choosing a laptop is all about your preferences. That said, features like Apple’s longevity and durability are something to consider when choosing one. Some people are still using the 2010 Macbook Pros because they\u2019re still going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re on the hunt for a new laptop but can\u2019t afford the premium prices of new Macbooks, look at refurbished Apple Macbooks. You\u2019ll find that it\u2019ll offer you all the same features as above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
