Should I invest on a Macbook Pro 2020 or just get a Windows laptop with comparable specs for work?

Goods naman both depende din sa specs kung planning to play games in future go with windows.
Mac pang matagalan. At walang sakit ng ulo sa virus. Very productive sa work. I'm a Web Dev. Once you go mac, you never go back.
It's not investment, it's a purchase.
it all boils down sa budget and purpose.
I used this as a guide. Hope this helps. https://youtu.be/39YqCLYELnM
Consider kung san mo gagamitin and try the price 2x if you can afford it then Goo
Mac. You can find a 2nd hand macbook pro 2012 for less than 30k so you can try it out. Then upgrade the ram and ssd as needed. By the time the new MacBook is released, you can decide to go for it, or switch back to Windows at any point. The 2012 mbp can still be sold at fair market value😊
Go for Mac. Worth it. Nag switch ako sa Mac from Windows. Hesitant ako b4 kung mag mac ako or stick to windows pa din.
But later on nag Mac pa din ako hehe pikit mata pa lol😆
Pero wala pang 1month kong ginagamit... mas gusto ko n sya gamitin over windows.
Para sakin worth it. Pang games nlng yung windows ko hehe..
Skip the mac 2020, mg lalabas, sila na bago kaya mga, luma nila phaseout nila.
Dipende sa ecosystem na nakasanayan mo. May kanya kanya silang target na costumer group. Sagutin mo mga tanong na to para makadecide ka
- Anong OS ang ginagamit mo ngayon?
- Anong line of work mo?
- Gumagamit ka ba ng Mac exclusive na applications like Final Cut?
- May mga apple devices ka ba na ginagamit for work?
Yan pag nasagot mo yan makakadecide ka ba 😉
Both meron ako.. If video conference and graphic designing, mas maganda Macbook..be sure my external drive ka since maliit lang disk space ng Mac.. If docu, programming, etc.. Windows ka na lang..
Get one that fits your needs.
Windows kung d nmn po designer or the like.
Mac for work, windows for gaming. 😊
Go for mac. Kakaswitch ko lang and so far maganda siya talaga kung pang work. All the best
Kung hindi naman multimedia related ang work mo at basic office admin lang, you dont need a high powered laptop.
I'll never buy a macbook haha pangalan lang binabayaran mo jan period.
If you have the budget, buy a second hand Macbook Pro then get a Windows mid range AMD gaming desktop. Best of both worlds. Also buy a good monitor for that desktop at least 25". For external use with the Macbook as well.
First po, consider your budget.
Second, know which OS yung need mo especially sa work mo (not all Windows Software run is MacOs and vice versa)
Third, find options and do research more. Do you need a laptop, a macbook? Did you consider building/customizing a PC? How much processing power do you need? Kailangan po bang portable? Or work station/gaming rig yung need mo?
You need at least 8GB of RAM kung bibili ka po ng windows laptop. If you're going to use it for content creation (photo and video edit) ypu would need a dedicated Graphics Card and higher ram. Consider also that you CANT upgrade some of the laptops in the market today especially macbooks.
For 50,000 pesos:
- You can get a gaming laptop but the specs may be outdated.
- Macbook Air 2020 or old versions of Macbook Pros.
- You can buy a full desktop PC that can handle heavy workloads. (Pinapakita ko lang po yung pwede mong makuha for your money. At the end of the day, it's your decision po.)
Kung can afford mo naman why not? Dream ko din Yan MBP may ROI naman Yan Kasi gagamitin mo pang trabaho. Ako Kasi personally Hindi masyadong techie kaya Ang tendency bumili ako Ng the best and known brands Yung alam Kong Kahit Hindi ko naiintindihan Ang technical aspects sure akong Tama Yung napili ko. It's like pag Mahal Yun na Yun 🤣
Problem with Apple is of u want to upgrade it's not possible. Plus, mababa ang memory ng Mac compared to Windows. Get an i5 Windows pc then upgrade. More cost effective.
PC, mac are overprice and if u need service, it even get worse.
Any OS except windows. Lol
Mac definitely.
MacOS is wayyy more secured and macbook specs are also good specially with graphics and multitasking. You'll definitely get your money's worth on this laptop. But practically speaking, it still boils down on how you intend to use the computer.
Windows if you don't need anything mac exclusive. Macs have terrible value. ( And I guess, from what I can see from the comments, go for mac if you are unfamiliar with troubleshooting and general pc/software maintenance/safe practices )
A windows laptop would have better specs for the same price, so it really depends on what you need. Mac has better software, and Windows has better compatibility and usually, hardware.
It's best to invest on a high end windows laptop. New gen laptops nowadays are much more durable than laptops 5 years ago and they're more versatile. High end windows laptop can be used for multitasking, editing and gaming. But if YOU REALLY want to be a macbook user for some reason, wait for the 2021 release wherein they'll use an ARM cpu rather than a 3rd part cpu like intel. Another reason to buy a macbook is if you're in the apple ecosystem meaning you own an iphone, an ipad and other apple products. Remember that apple is costly because of the ecosystem they made.
Mac for working. Tested and trusted. Minsan din kung san ka sanay. Pero if kaya Mac, Mac nlng para sulit!
In the end it’s up to you.. one thing to consider is not just the laptop but also the additional softwares your may need to have to complete the tasks.
Switched to Mac just recently. No regrets. :)
Being a windows user before akala ko di ako masasanay sa Mac until I found myself slowly ditching my windows PCs. Macbook Pro or mac products. If afford ko lang talaga bibili ako niyan at IMac para home use. Durable at mabilis talaga si mac. 😇😇😇
Mac book pro kanalang kung gagamitin mo sya sa work mac 🖥 user ako at my gaming pc din ako . Tatagal ang macbook pro mo like for 10 yrs basta well maintain at ikaw lang gagamit worth the price sya
Macbook air ko is 2011 pa, until now nagagamit ko pa din, medyo mabagal na nga lang pero still faster than windows na laptop. Mas ok talaga mga macbook products for me. Kung afford ko lang, bibili ako ng pro.
My experience, MBP lang tumagal sakin (since 2015). Earlier laptops ko na windows, need magpalit every 2 years...
