As someone whos been testing bothWindows and Macmachines for several years, the truth is undeniable.
Apple makes better laptops dont @ me.

Why did it take me so long to accept this?
Dont laugh, but I blame Stockholm syndrome.
Windows had me in a chokehold for 30 years.

I grew up using a chunky, clunky Gateway computer.
It was my escape to another dimension.
Not only are thebest MacBookstypically more performant than Windows machines, but theyre also more durable.
And dont get me started on the battery life.
With Windows machines, prepare to be chained to an outlet all day.
MacBooks, on the other hand, are power-efficient beasts, thanks to the energy-preserving M-series chips.
But what about gaming?
MacBooks arent built for that!
Apple is slowly improving its gaming capabilities, but theyre right.

Macs havent fully caught up.
But the truth is, I cant stand gaming laptops.
Theyre bulky, power-hungry and nowhere near as portable as mySteam Deck.
Despite my newfound love for MacBooks, I still find myself missing some aspects of Windows.
That being said, here are five reasons Im still wistful of PCs.
Where Windows still wins
1.
MacBook Air M2 camera notch
Sometimes, Finder fails tofindcertain files.
For example, I have two photos labeled Samsung event below.
But when I search Finder with the words Samsung Event, Finder cant find them.
Cocreator in Windows 11
On Windows, I could find these images in a flash.
Why are saved screenshots defaulted to the desktop?
Luckily, this is a fixable quirk.
Use the Command + Shift + 5 shortcut to kick off the Screenshot app and punch the Options button.
Next, click Other location and choose your desired location for screenshots.
Apple is often applauded for delivering a polished, out-of-the-box experience without requiring much tinkering on the consumers part.
After downloading a .dmg file, I then have to drag it into the Applications folder.
Next, I have to find the program in Launchpad.
Dont get me wrong.
This process isnt difficult nor convoluted and theres a security reason behind this drag-and-drop tactic.
It prevents automatic installations without the users permission.
FaceID where is it?
Windows laptops that feature IR-based webcams enable me to use facial biometric authentication.
I never thought Id miss it, but I do.
As a former Windows user, Id often used Paint for minor photo edits.
Plus, with Copilot+ PCs,Windows has made using Paint even better.
Unfortunately, macOS doesnt have a preinstalled Paint equivalent.
None of the aforementioned gripes are deal breakers.
