Please try this out... Windows has a built in screen recorder too. As a mater of fact I think its is very good and light weight too. Its simply: windows + alt + r ... the videos will be saved in the videos folder. :)
It's not that bad actually using Mac... there is just a learning curve just as you had a learning curve when you first started using a windows os devices. People tend to forget that you had to learn Windows, the only reason why we don't think about it is because Windows more or less became mainstream when Apple was having a hard time. So it's the same for a lifetime Mac user switching over to Windows Os as well
No is not. Is just the same copy pasted comment that every Mac user repeats as their personal mantra to justify their terrible purchase. What a joke, in all aspects. Hardware, software, price...
Absolutely! Let's take a closer look at the limitations of Mac computers when it comes to gaming. Unlike gaming laptops, Macs simply don't have the capabilities to deliver a seamless gaming experience. They also don't support the download of third-party apps, including those that are pirated. I've had the pleasure of owning both a PC and a MacBook, and while the latter is convenient for its battery life during travels, I never feel any sort of hindrance with my trusty RTX 3090 PC when I'm working from home.
1:10 Windows also has built in screen recorder. Snipping tool (Windows 11) can now also record videos, and on both Windows 10 and 11, Pressing Win + G brings up bunch of tools, which also includes screen recording.
@@sep5560 No, you can record the whole desktop with snipping tool. even select the area that you want to record. for xbox game bar, it is intended for games. even it will ask you if you want to record dekstop apps if you try to record on non-games apps.
Few points (of mainly Windows user): 1. Like was pointed out below, in Windows you can use Gamebar (Win+G) which records also audio (and you can even have shortcut to plain start recording without opening anything), and snipping tool has this feature now too. 2. I don't know what screen coating has to do with OS (but most of today's Win laptops has gloss screen, not mate). 3. For virtual desktops, I would say that they are quite on par (maybe windows has less animations, but I really don't miss these. And Win+Tab do same trick as Mission Control, you can easily move apps here to different VDs, easy Win+Ctrl+arrow get's to another VD (and sorry, that different sizes and random positions of apps in MC really don't help to find app when you have open too many). But I agree that some things on Windows aren't also as great as they could be.
On Mac the virtual desktops are better when you use more then 1 display, because they are individual. On Windows when you switch the virtual Desktop on one scren it also switching the virtual screen on all other displays (on win10, i don‘t know if it‘s better on win11 and also it could be a setting but i don‘t think so)
and second point for mac, when you fullscreen an app it become a new „virtual desktop“ so you can swipe to go back to your desktop as it‘s an second virtual screen. On windows you only can fullscreen an app completely with F11 and then it's weird to switch apps, sometimes you are stuck in the app aslong it‘s in fullscreen
That's the route I'm going for but I'm not rich :') I like being on as many platforms as I can, Android and iOS, Linux, Chrome OS (dirty linux), Windows and MacOS. Android Tablets and iPads. I have my preferences for certain devices, but not because of any brand loyalty.
I got both and I’m not rich… to be fair I bought my Mac refurbished but it’s not that expensive if you work already. Apple products used to be way more expensive when compared to the competition but now it’s more a matter of preference, right now I use a MacBook Pro as my laptop and a custom windows desktop at home
Great video! I also switched from Windows to MacOS about a year. I am still confused about why Macbook users always said MacOS is much friendly than Windows, the shortcut keys combinations are horrible to me. And MacOS's multi-window / split screen features are far less than Windows. But power(battery), noise and heat managements are no doubt beyond all the Windows laptop. For me, I would definitely to own another Windows desktop at Home but enjoy Macbook on the go to have both advantages.
When I stopped using windows around 2012, it still didn’t have multiple desktops like many Linux distributions do. That was one of the things that I liked about OSX / Mac OS was the UNIX / Linux feature of multiple desktops. It’s not quite the same thing as having a second or third monitor but it’s close and incredibly useful to me. It allows keeping work or apps open in a relatively uncluttered space on its own desktop instead of having a huge mess on one screen. On Mac you can swipe over to a different desktop on your trackpad or mouse, use the Mission Control button on the desktop, set up hot corners to invoke Mission Control, or just click on the app you want to get back to and it navigates/whooshes you over to the correct where you have it open. I usually have about 6 desktops set up to work in. It helps to give each one a different wall paper so they don’t all look the same.
I have found since jumping ship from windows in 2011, that windows is becoming more and more Mac-like. Especially with Windows 11. The default layout of the task bar, the settings menu, the style of the icons all screen Mac influence. And it’s not that Mac OS is necessarily easier (maybe if you had never used either a Mac or Windows pc), but the stability of the OS, the integration of the Apple eco-system, how fluid ICloud is, and having never experienced a ‘blue screen of death’ in the last 10yrs. Not to mention being able to get the latest OS upgrades without having to pay for them (which Windows only just started with Win10).
5:51 For Windows, there is an app from Microsoft "Your Phone" that works great with Android phones. For some phones from Samsung and Huawei, there are additional functions (screen casting to PC, opening applications, wireless photo transfer etc).
Exactly, I have a Samsung and it work like a charm. Copy and paste one device to the other, share file, foto, video. Making call, message, screen cast to PC, control the phone with the PC. A lot of things
There's honestly just a ton he doesn't knkw about in this video and misspoke on. From recording screens, to app management he just doesn't know shortcuts or functionality and just says Windows can't do certain things even though they are builtin. I'm fine with folks having preferences either wa, but he definitely was not accurate in many things here from a functionality standpoint.
@André Alcântara you should try your phone with a samsung phone on a samsung galaxybook laptop it works flawlessly + it has many similar iphone mac features and samsung provide their own apps built in in both the phone and the laptop they too work very fine, features like cursor sharing and clipboard sharing are there with with the galaxy books and samsung phones and samsung tablets and also many features are integrated with the galaxy watch and you are right it works well with samsungs because they have some partnership with microsoft but same could be said for iphone and mac features as well, its like they have their own samsung ecosystem
@André Alcântara my guy idk what the f are you using but i used "Your Phone" app with several different pc and phones. ( For Example: PC: ASUS All in One PCs and my current pc: ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS GX701GX ----- PHONE: Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, Sony Xperia XZ Premium and lastly my current phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra) I did not had a single issue. With my phone app, i did not even held my phone in ages while using pc...
I've tried Windows, Macos, GNOME desktop, and KDE. For me GNOME is the most intuitive desktop. It has simplicity UI like MacOS, and robust key shortcuts like Windows. Best of the both world, except you can't run MS Office natively.
I personally prefer KDE Plasma. It's basically what Windows wishes it was. GNOME is really good too, but with both of these you do miss out on some apps as you mentioned sadly. But I just use Onlyoffice or Libreoffice and that works flawlessly for me 🤷♂
By default gnome really shine with there ui guidelines even though it's a little ugly but biggest issue is, everything in gnome is under featured.. Comeon.. who records screen in webm?? in KDE, it takes a long time to take full advantage of it's power, but there, nothing is completely standardised, like, why you need 3 defferent little maintained frameworks for writting apps?? Xfce is not quite there, yet realy good But any of these, accessability is a nightmare... And speaking of standerdisation, many people not taking complete advantage of TWMs... like why tf people uses alt+f4 in custom configs? Just why?? It's your config ... you can change it... and i don't think people keeping it because they like it..
yeah gnome extensions especially can fix some issues like im on zorin os and their default is only 2 windows side by side with keyboard shortcuts but i installed wintile and now i can have my fancy zones esc multitasking i as a new user am kinda falling in love with some of the customizability cuz i always felt on windows it was kinda shit and annoying
A few things regarding Mac: 1. Applications are not as sparse as depicted here and you also don’t need to go through the app store. You can easily download things and apps online just as if it was a windows computer. 2. Games are available on Mac, just very little AAA games because of Apple’s proprietary technology (Metal, for example). 3. It’s easy to customize your Mac and there are many different applications that change things (such as Finder). 4. Non-Apple mouses act just like if they were Apple’s mouse. Just go into the settings like you would for Windows to change the speed and scrolling direction. You don’t need other apps to make your mouse work like needed. 5. “Closing apps” is slightly true, but it depends on the app. Safari, for example, stays open so you can browse the web instantly without opening it up again. Reminders, however, will instantly close. This can be changed in settings, again. You don’t really have to worry about these apps being open though, since RAM management is awesome on the Mac. It barely draws ANY energy, which also contributes to battery life.
4) No it's not. You can't disable acceleration, and if you change scroll direction, it changes it on trackpad too. You must use app to have reasonable experience
@@АдельМухамедшин I used a Mac mouse once with my old iMac but switched to a regular mouse I got on Amazon because I didn't like the Apple one and I continue using the same mouse on my Macbook and have never had an issue with that. I didn't even know there were apps to change how the mouse works on an apple computer? I'm genuinely curious as to why some people experience problems with using non apple mice
@@jakeldn7105 Yep, if there were no problem, there would not be dozens of apps fixing it. Macos doesn't separate trackpad and mouse settings, you change one - you change both. Without fixes you stuck with accelerating mouse(normal behaviour for trackpad) which scrolls in wrong direction(natural for trackpad, wrong for wheel).
@@АдельМухамедшин I didn't understand this mouse thing. I never had a problem with non-apple mouse. I only used Microsoft mini mouse and Logitech MX Ergo and they both worked perfectly on Mac too (MX Ergo is a trackball but my preference has always been a trackball on PC too). On mac, if possible, I always prefer a trackpad over anything else. ( I am using it on a 3 monitors area which is 3440*1440, and 2 3840*2160 area to travel on and with Trackball, Trackpad it is easy).
I have both, Macbook Air M1 & Legion 5 Pro 5800H both high end models. And let me tell you this video is 100% describes what I'm going through, I can't let go of any one of them, mac freaks me out when it comes to real computing and working with different apps, but its the greatest laptop to watch movies, browse internet, send emails and write assays with its smooth functioning, amazing screen, pretty loooong battery life and very good speakers that not any non apple laptops can beat. While my windows laptop is my gaming baby, and I can have any type of tools and programs to work with in peace without any frustration and limitations. So If you can afford it: Get both
Meh, I think you're better off getting a miniled ipad instead of going for a macbook. You get the same chip as on the macbook air and an awesome display close to that of the macbook pros and it does literally everything you said you do on a macbook, consume content, browse the web and write stuff like emails and *essays.* personally I have a legion 5 pro with the same cpu as yours and a 3060, but I don't have a macbook and wouldn't buy one for the price they're going for, especially the pros, but would absolutely love an ipad for media consumption. Idk this is my 2 cents about the topic lol. Yeah well I am in fact thinking of getting an ipad but before that I'm contemplating about selling my laptop and replace my 10yo desktop pc with an all amd powerhouse to run linux with a windows vm on it, since I don't trust microsoft anymore to have windows on bare metal.
haven't run a PC in years and Mac user for a long 10 plus years. had to download windows onto my Mac for specific programs and now I remember the feelings of why I switched , lol... the simplest tasks on a Mac can take hours to figure out on PC...
This was the most fair video I’ve ever seen on the two OSs. I would say though that it’s more about getting used to the way each OS does workflow. You mentioned that window management is terrible on the Mac but also say that the trackpad is amazing. In fact, the trackpad is how you do window management. It’s how you get around. If you want to see all of the windows of one application you just flip down with four fingers. And there are videos in settings showing you what everything does for the trackpad. I wish flip down was enabled by default. And yes, better snap tool is the first thing I install on my Mac to get back that windows feature. The problem on the Mac is that it is really geared to people who know absolutely nothing. So it won’t give you the extra information that the average user doesn’t care about. The worst thing about the Mac though is the security is getting insane for anything that is not on the App Store. If you go off the beaten track at all Apple is going to complain about it and you’ll be giving permission for things every other minute. This for me is the worst thing about Apple. It wasn’t like this in the Jobs era. I have not really experienced a problem with keyboard shortcuts on the Mac. It is confusing though about quitting apps. Because sometimes, like in settings, closing the window does close the program. But this is very inconsistent. No one would argue that gaming is great on the Mac. However it is good. On my M1 pro MacBook Pro (a terribly named computer if there ever was one) there are very few things I cannot play. Now I am not a fps kind of guy. But, I have found that by the time you use wine/Crossover and Parallels, along with GeForce now, you’re mostly good to go. And now Microsoft is joining the fray with GeForce now. There isn’t much you can’t play. However, setting up games on the Mac is often not for the faint of heart. It does require technical skills with Crossover or Parallels. If gaming is your primary use, just stay away from it.
I started with Mac back in the early 90s, went to Windows around 94, back to mac 2005, now I am back to windows 2022. I prefer mac os for work use and stability. I don't mind Windows 10. I will start to use Linux soon. The best thing about Windows is you can have a desktop that you can open up and clean dust, upgrade hardware and generally a lot cheaper for the same specs. The best thing about Mac is you know it will just work while the hardware doesn't fail. The OS is flawless and will never bog down. I am hoping that linux gives me that mac os like experience with a desktop upgradeable tower. I will never go back to Apple though from bad experiences with hardware and employment with Apple. I've had two macbook pros fail on me, just outside of warranty. Of course the repair cost at Apple was higher than a brand new PC with better specs so they just became paperweights. I worked for Apple as tech support and felt like I was in slave labour camp. I realise their best sellers like the iPhones and their airpods are not bleeding edge anymore in design and function compared to competition. In fact I feel like innovation has slowed across the board and a bunch of other companies have caught up to Apple. So here I stand, from Mac to Windows/Linux and from iOS to Android. I used to be the biggest Apple fanboy too.
You can actually record you screen with a built in softwear, click the windowed button and the g key. Then go to screen capture. So it’s easier than the mac’s.
I like the mouse/trackpad behavior on Mac but I hate the issues it has with both multiple screens and with spaces. I haven’t tried the new stage manager yet but I’m sure I’ll hate it too. Not that multitasking is all bad on Mac but it has its annoyances that you can’t do anything about.
Also, there are plenty of gestures you can do on the trackpad of a Windows laptop. Some you have to configure in settings and you can chose what they do (ie; 4 finger swipe up: increase volume, 3 finger swipe; task view, ect)
plain wrong. the horrible thing about trackpads and generally hardware is that it depends on the manufacturer. my asus laptop doesn't have any gestures.
Switching between windows for the same app on Mac is actually a lot easier if you learn trackpad gestures. I still occasionally miss the old alt-tab or ctrl-tab combo from Windows, but gestures on MacOS give a simple, uniform way to switch windows, apps, desktops, etc, and even launch other apps. Also, while the number of free apps on Mac is comparatively small (when compared to Windows), they are still present on the app store, so what you said on that front wasn't strictly true. Otherwise, a fair comparison. And yes, I still don't get why closing a window on MacOS doesn't close the app as well! Very odd choice that one. P.S. I use both daily and like both for their strengths, so no axe to grind here. ;)
If only Dell would work with AMD to put a more efficient chip in the XPS Plus, it could be a contender for the best laptop on the market. Oh well, I can only hope.
@@Lee.S321 Same. But god for fuck sake, make it bulkier. It's almost as if a laptop that is as thin as paper is something ideal. NO IT'S NOT. The asus G14 Zephyrus would still be consider thin and light to me. It's the perfect laptop. Plus, it looks like a laptop too, not some of those wedge shaped or diamond cut shaped design like the Macbook air, or the dell xps. Just please make it look like Razer blade but bulkier then boom. Even greater battery life, more cooling, more power. WIN WIN
1. On windows now have a built in screen recorder, in snipping tool now it shows a record screen button. Which works perfectly. 2. Mission Control in Windows which is Win Key + Tab works perfectly fine and actually better than mac because at the bottom it shows virtual desktops as well. Which means one more easy way to switch v-desktop. Also, in taskbar you have virtual desktop switch button. Super easy! On windows supported laptops you can also switch v-desktops using trackpad gestures.
Unsure what you’ve been using, but I think that’s not true for most mainstream distros? With Ubuntu for example, I think you still use CTRL for almost everything like in Windows. I don’t remember being confused by CTRL + WIN or something like that for zooming and so on.
5:38 Windows and some Android (Samsung and few other) devices can sync copied items through Phone Link. They even let you have full control over your phone (Yes, you can see the screen and control it.) within PC so I feel like that should be in there. You can text, make phone calls, or even share internet connection or view pictures. It's really convenient because I don't have to pull out my phone from my pocket.
For mouse acceleration and scrolling problems etc, Mac OS has settings for it which you can change to meet your preferences, is wasn’t necessary to download other apps for your third party mouse.
I use my Mac with the same 2 Monitors I use my Windows with, no problems at all Else yes good comparison on the pro's and con's of each system. I came from the Windows world but I have to say I like the way MacOS handles things a bit better. Also the full integration of all the devices into one unifying (using ipad as screen extension of your Mac, have your calls redirected to your Mac or iPad, start something on your Mac and continue uninterrupted on your Phone or iPad etc) system is just amazing.
I use two external screens as well, both at home and at work, mostly without problems. At work I used to have one screen in portrait mode, but for some reason my Mac got confused so that when I was attaching my computer to a projector somewhere, it would flip my internal screen on its side! I changed the screen at work to the normal horizontal mode, and that problem disappeared, but it was kind of crazy. The other problem is that it lacks an effective alternative to windows+p to select if you want to extend or mirror the internal screen when connecting a monitor/projector. There are many other things to love about Mac though, and I'm happy I switched.
It's mostly because you're using your mac like a windows. So it comes with a lot of nightmare. Of course you have to learn the how it works, but swicthing tabs on Mac is way simpler than on windows when you use the trackpad to show all app at once.
Hell no, switching apps on Windows is Alt+Tab or Win+Tab, or a 3-finger swipe on a trackpad-enabled device. The gestures are the same as MacOS except that Alt+Tab behaviour gives you window previews rather than just app icons.
5:50 Actually Windows has something called "Phone Link". That has a lot of features, like clipboard syncing between windows and android, screenshare, call and messages, view phone gallery. And google has nearbyshare app for windows which let you share files between android and windows. 6:30 I never used a mouse with a laptop, maybe just me 🤷♂
Okay, I have a few points Windows does have a built-in screen recorder. It is under snipping tool. Modify keys are a little bit confusing but they’re not that complicated. I was able to get my head around them within a week of owning the system. I know your mileage may vary but it’s not that bad. Having multiple instances of an application open isn’t as impossible to navigate as you make it sound. If you want a similar experience to windows, go into the settings navigate to the dock or whatever section is in the latest update, there’s an option to separate the applications from each other when you minimise them as individual icons for each instance. I have been able to plug in a multitude of different accessories into the USB port from all different manufacturers. Some well known some completely obscure and my Apple device has had no problem, figuring out what a mouse is supposed to do as well as other devices. Your issue with the mouse I completely agree with the scroll being inverted as it is very annoying, but there’s a simple setting you can switch in the system settings to enable natural scrolling. I don’t know why that isn’t a thing by default but that’s just the way it is also being able to adjust the mouse acceleration is also doable in the settings. The fact that an application doesn’t close when you press, the Red Cross is nothing new to the Matt ecosystem. It’s to do with the way the system handles RAM There are two easy ways to close an application three if you want to download some software in the menu bar at the top there’s an option to quit when you click on the applications name as well as right clicking on the icon on the dock. Alternatively there is an application you can download I don’t remember it’s exact name it’s something to do with read or Red Cross a little bit of googling will help you find it that then forces the application to act like windows.
in the application manager you can select in system settings > desktop and dock > group windows by application, this is useful to find your open windows.
9:04 , I've tried both and TBH MacOS is much worse when it comes to uninstall pre-installed stuff. Even Chess is impossible to uninstall, why.... Safari and a bunch of other apps also impossible to uninstall. I honestly find Windows more "clean" once I uninstalled everything, while on Mac I'm stuck with the garbage I don't want or need.
Lifelong Windows user here. I just got my first mac for work (company policy I guess) and they're incredibly good computers. Everything is just so perfectly integrated, the computer feels super premium and the work flow is just glorious. I did have to download a bunch of plug-ins to recreate a similar work flow to Windows though. Some things that are just so practical are really missing on Mac (you never realize how much you need Alt + Tab until you don't actually have it anymore). I still use my Windows for all my personal stuff (picture editing, applications, most of my data, etc...) because of the direct connectivity that's so much better, as well as the transparency of all the processes. Would I recommend to anyone of switching from Windows to a Mac? Depends on what they want. Would I say the Mac is an amazing and extremely well built and thought working machine? Hell yes
There was definitely a paradigm shift at Windows not so lately to serve developers more. Windows 11 is making up for lots of drawbacks that made people jump ship. I switched to Mac as my main machine 9 months ago and now I'm going back. The macbook as a machine is an engineering masterpiece. The OS however... People who say it is more user friendly either do only casual work, or have not tried Windows lately. The window management is criminal on Mac. And yes I use rectangle but it's not the same.
So glad that someone mentions one of the biggest ones for me: Font Rendering. It's absolutely criminal that you cannot get decent font rendering on windows on anything less than a 4k screen. Reading text in Chrome on most screens feels like someone just cut the letters with a hacksaw.
as for the mouse thing in macos, ive not had big issues. you can fix direction of scrolling in the built in settings app (I actually think the default reversed scrolling makes sense since before i had an apple magic mouse which scrolled the same way) mouse acceleration is a bit finicky but not a massive issue, and everything else works fine, e.g the side forward and back buttons. also as for quitting apps on mac, i think the behaviour for this is better on mac because it's consistent. It always keeps apps open in background, and you can easy fully quit it by just right clicking on the icon and pressing quit. On windows, some apps fully close, e.g chrome, but others stay in the background like discord, ms teams, skype, etc. I would rather have all apps behave the same way than have some fully close and others say in background.
The stupid thing about MacOS scrolling settings is that the change will affect the trackpad. The reversed scrolling only makes sense with the trackpad and not the mouse wheel.
@@phamnguyenductin For me, i used to use the apple magic mouse where the scroll was basically a trackpad so i got used to that, then when i moved to a mouse with a wheel my preference stayed the same. so i guess it's person to person whether this makes sense or not
@@louistin I mean I don't really care about that because it's personal experience. But something like that has to be customisable. A mouse is fundamentally different from a trackpad and in this regard, Windows is doing much better.
@@phamnguyenductin Considering how apple mouses don't even work with windows out of the box, I don't think you can say windows is doing better that apple which works with all mouses, albeit with slightly annoying scrolling (that becomes a non issue after literally 5 minutes of getting use to it)
for the mac - use xnip - in its preferences map it to the PrtScn key on the keyboard and from their you can snag a window, a screen or a video from the screen. none of that OBS stuff required. (free)
Agreed, I've tried to use it a few times but at the time it was very buggy and I just gave up on it. I think it wasn't able to record the screen without the game open or smth like that.
Pretty much every comment on the hardware of Windows laptops is just a generalization that no longer applies if you actually buy the right Windows laptop, god forbid at the actual same price as a Mac.
no wonder when i introduce my friend to buy a macbook the first time . His experience as a new Apple user as a previous Window user is a nightmare in the mouse handling ! Well inform video Thanks mate !
Whats interesting for someone who doesnt own an iphone or ipad anymore, when i use a macbook all the apple apps feel like tons bloatware. I will never use the reader, imessage, photos, or any single app other than the terminal, calculator, finder, and activity monitor. I only use installed applications like vlc, my production software, chrome, and Microsoft office.
idk, what you mean about needing an external app to record the screen. Use the xbox gaming bar to record the screen, it's built into windows. Use Windows key + G.
As regular basis person or student the Mac's is the obvious winner, Windows is solid for gaming and open source software to play and customize Every software has his own pros and cons
Eyoeyoeyo!!!! You can record the screen on windows with windows key+G this opens the xbox game thingy, and there is an option to capture/ record the screen
I would like to comment on the screen recording, in Windows 11, Win + G brings up the Game Bar settings, you can then exit it using the same shortcut, the Win + Alt + R to start recording, and the same to stop.
actually since the game bar in Windows 10 you can record everthing with win+alt+r. you may need to enable it the first time but it works. it even has a Feature to Always record the last 30 sek. so when your gaming you just hit win+alt+g. and the screen clipping tool has a record funkction in win11
3:15 if you slide on youre touchpad or what ever its called with 4 fingers to left or right it will do the same (you must have created a other desktop 1,2,3,4 for it)
