Battery Life
MacBooks usually can provide longer battery life than Windows laptops. One of the biggest differences between desktop computers and laptops is that when you use laptops, you need to care about the battery life
. Single-time battery life
means the time it takes from fully charged to fully
discharged. Longer battery life means the computer can work longer. According to the Tech Specs of MacBook-pro-16 and buy-mac page, the 16-inch MacBook Pro uses a 100-watt-hour lithium polymer battery
to provide up to 21 hours of battery life
for $2,699.00. 87 Wh
, Lithium Ion for $2,299*. Battery size is not the only factor that can influence battery life, System on Chip (SoC) and system optimization are also quite important. As described by Macbook-air-M2, using the 5nm ARM64 SoC on M2 Chip, allows the computer to run faster and requires much less power.

User Experience
User experience
represents the feeling of users when they use a product
, application
, system
, service
, and security
. MacBooks usually represent a higher level of user experience. The default operating system is always intuitive and elegant. Mission Control helps you find the window you need faster. The Control center allows you to control all menu bar items you love in one place. With SIRI, get everyday tasks done with just your voice. MacBooks can also work perfectly with other Apple devices. For example, if one needs to share a keynote with others, just click AirDrop or Screen sharing. The whole process is wireless and fast. Security is also a serious part of the user experience. According to Statista, the Global market operating systems PCs, until June 2022, Windows occupied 76.33% market
. The giant customer base makes Microsoft harder to monitor for vulnerabilities. Since MacBook is less popular than Windows PCs and many systems levels of protection functions like Touch ID
and Intelligent Tracking Prevention
are included, all these factors made macOS safer and give users a better user experience.

is the actual reason why people choose Macbook. One of the propose of using a computer is to use software to change
the world. Since Apple has been transferring its SoC from Intel to the ARM architecture, more and more software is now on ARM64 macOS. According to the Apple event on 10/19/2022
, there are 10,000 universal apps available. Professional software such as AutoDesk AutoCAD
, Autodesk Maya

, Logic Pro
, Motion
, Compressor
, and MainStage
are macOS-only software, these Pro apps are tools for Video clipping, musicians, and more.
