: Laptop pc vs mac book Age old question I know. So i am going to buy a laptop soon, though cost is an issue. I have a mac at work and love it. But i need something for home to do

@Cugini998

There is no Sketch for windows, if thats a dealbreaker for you then the discussion is over.

The thing is that you get what you pay for, if you buy the cheapest pc available then indeed it will be quite terrible, dont do it. Even more important is getting the right graphics card. But a higher end pc running windows is just as stable as a mac on most loads (in some cases stabler)

But really the annoying thing about this is mixin and matching as the keyboard layouts are quote different. I dont generally mind swapping software with different keybindings but jumping between mac and pc causes a lot of missclicks the first year.

The two platforms are very close in terms of performance and stability, so the cost savings of a PC may seem appealing. However, if you aren't already comfortable with Windows, the differences may cause frustration that outweighs the cost benefit - especially if your time on that computer is intended to be for profit. Unless you're going to use it with enough regularity to get up to speed (and stay up to speed) on the Window-way of system operation, I would recommend sticking to Mac OS. On the other hand, if you're just curious about Windows and would like to test it out for the adventure of it, then you can always run a Windows virtual machine on the Mac. (This is coming from a PC user.)
