With Windows 11, which is all that is available on a new computer, you get an operating system that is designed to provide control over all your data and communications to be syphoned off by Microsoft and sent to agencies to be used in ways you cannot begin to imagine. Apple has been alone in providing privacy protection for its customers.
The Apple OS provides 50% greater efficiency in its use of computer hardware and is far less vulnerable to hacking. I had less difficulty setting up my first Apple computer and integrating it with my office network than I did when migrating to Windows XP from Windows 2000. Microsoft continues to move key applications to different places and to it becomes a new learning experience with each new iteration of their operating system. With Windows 11 they did it again and to an even greater degree than with Windows 10.
I bought two laptops that were not really needed but they had Windows 10 installed. They are spares as I will never use Windows 11 and even the high priced Mac computers are preferable. The higher initial cost fo the Apple computers is offset by the time and dollar savings from not having to run registry cleanup and disc cleanup and spyware and other tools that I spend time with on a weekly basis with the Windows computers. I have been dealing with the support issues peculiar to Windows computers for the past 30 years and the core design has not changed and adding more layers does not truly mitigate these deficiencies.

). I ended up finding an excellent new Lenovo Thinkpad on sale at B&H, and have been extremely pleased ever since. Its equipped with state of the art processors, 32 GB RAM, 4K display, advanced graphics cards, and 1 TB SSD. Technology has only improved since I bought mine, but I believe an equivalent in today’s market would be
