If your thumbs are tired from endless texting, you’ll love the ability to send and receive all of your texts on your computer. Your Apple computer can recognize a nearby iPhone or iPad and make it a second wireless monitor with a single click. It either used a cable or a specific app and a shared network. I’ve been using my iPad as a second monitor with my laptop for years now, but it was never seamless. Did you accept a FaceTime call on your laptop? You can send it over to your phone. Have a website open on your phone? An icon shows up on your MacBook to jump to it. Once again, if you own multiple Apple devices, Handoff makes jumping between each of them seamless. If you copy text, image, or file on your phone, laptop, or iPad, you can paste it on another device almost instantly. Universal ClipboardĪpple devices with the same Apple ID that are on the same Wi-Fi network will automatically share the clip board. I never want to use another lightning cable for the rest of my life. This feature alone makes it very difficult to go back to Windows. If it does, you have to sort through 30 different randomly named files to find the photo you're looking for.Īpple devices can automatically recognize other Apple devices nearby and transfer files wirelessly via bluetooth and Wi-Fi. You have to plug it in via a USB 2.0 cable and hope that Windows recognizes it. Getting photos or videos from your iPhone to a Windows computer is a nightmare. The only time I can get the fans to turn on is during a video export, and even still, it is incredibly quiet. Even with dual monitors plugged in and a ton of applications running, the laptop almost never spools up. My Alienware would randomly spool up the fans to 100% while I was browsing the web, and it sounded like someone was vacuuming the floor in the room next door.ĩ9% of the time, my MacBook is 100% silent. I’ve owned some very powerful Windows laptops in the past, but with that power came an outrageous cooling system.
This new MacBook Pro has the best battery I’ve ever seen on a laptop, and it also has the best performance. My netbook might have great battery life, but it couldn’t edit a video. My Alienware could, but it would only last an hour or two before the battery died. Battery LifeĪlthough Windows laptops have been getting better in recent years, in the past, it felt you could pick between battery life or performance.
Most Windows laptop have one really impressive component, but the keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and screen on my MacBook are the best I’ve ever seen in a laptop. The M1 MacBook Pro is the best built laptop I’ve ever used.
