I guess it goes down to macOS vs Windows. So if someone doesn't play games (or plays only blizzard made ones ...
), here are my thoughts:
macOS still have the flare of Steve Jobs. Steve(love him or hate him) was one of the best minds of the last 100 years and his whole being is packed inside macOS (X). It is full of thousand of features that windows doesn't have even at half. It is the first OS of it's kind that still exists, it is the most reliable, it looks and works as should - at least most of the time
and it is made from people from the "we love design" family...
The most weird thing is that macOS X was designed back in 1988... waited 10+ years on the self and still was way ahead of its time when released. It still is by a smaller margin though while actually it is the same as ...1988!!
If your job demand hours of computer work, imagine macOS as the beautiful ergonomic office with a great view, you always wanted. You get in and you smile. Many many people do not bother about looks and style. I don't know but i truly believe no-one should put beauty aside(except when you are interviewing for a new secretary...). I started using macs in the late 90's, turned to windows when the company i was working for had only windows and got back on 2015. I work with computers about 10 hours a day as a developer and designer and i have regretted soooo much for leaving macOS out of my life for nearly 10 years. I finally built a few custom macs, got a MacBook and i am freaking loving everything again for 4 years now. Of course i still boot in windows to play games and sometimes i stop and look back with a smile to all those windows hours i spent, but to be honest... this uninspired environment... this bad chosen whites... this bad chosen blacks... these picky window corners ..... this "go full window" pressure on most apps.... .. these bad designed ..blue screens...
I wouldn't bother about macs as much though, if money can be a problem and since CustomMacs are everywhere these days. They are beautiful high speced machines not affordable by all people and not needed by all people.(ex not all need a 5K screen...!! it is pure beauty but still... ). I love their design but their heart is what matters most. Their heart is macOS and macOS is the best operating system ever made, till today at least.
So go get a Custom Mac and a nice monitor! enjoy the last years left to this wonderful operating system before Tim Cook leave apple (or apple's roots) and who knows what awaits us then...
Get a cheap second hand iPhone as well and enjoy the freakin eco system!
ah well, i wanted to get it out of me...
cheers
Just one last thought. When someone wants to try one after the other (ex. being a long time windows user that wants to see macOS or vice versa). Keep your old machine. Stay with the new for at least 3 months of continuous use and then go back to the old one for a few days. From my experience this is the only way you can decide with the clearest possible mind, what suits you best.
