Most Apple Fans would claim that TextEdit would run super quick but thats not the case.<\/li>\n<li>Windows offers you regular updates for their operating system which generally is in the size of 1-20Mb and are security updates which would make your laptop secured and in case of apple macbook if you check out their last update the file was around ~500Mb and additional files were totalling the amount of update to around 800Mb which would almost be a impossible update for a low speed broadband user.<\/li>\n<li>All the applications are &#8216;Always on the Top&#8217; even though if you swap between different applications using &#8216;Apple+tab&#8217; key combination and you need to click on the application using your mouse\/touch pad to bring these specific applications on the top of all. In case of Windows you can easily swap from one application to another if you use &#8216;Alt+Tab&#8217; combination and windows brings the application on the top with Active status.<\/li>\n<li>Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wireless-internet-connection-guide-on-apple-mac-book\/\">Wireless Internet service providers<\/a> like Reliance Netconnect, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/bsnl-evdo-data-card-unlimited-wireless-internet-services\/\">BSNL Evdo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/tata-indicom-plug-2-surf-whiz-limited-time-offer\/\">Tata Indicom Plug2Surf<\/a> dont work with Apple Macbook&#8217;s but work for sure with Windows based Laptops and you need to search for tweaks to make sure you can connect your macbook with reliance. If Apple cares about their customers they should be offering installation drivers\/ updates for their users which would be compatible with all these PCI\/Data Cards and make sure their customers are able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/how-to-connect-reliance-netconnect-on-apple-mac-book\/\">connect to the wireless internet services<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Taking a screenshot of something is really easy in Windows based laptops because you are offered with a Print-Screen button using which you can grab a copy of your Active desktop and paste it in any image applications like photoshop, MS Paint etc but in case of Apple Macbook you will need to use these key combinations for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/apple\/capture-desktop-image-in-macosx-apple-macbooks\/\">capturing a desktop image<\/a> and this would need you to memorize all these key combinations.<\/li>\n<li>Macbook shows a Widget from &#8216;AccuWeather.com&#8217; which is offered for showing users with the weather of their locality but when you enter any Indian based city name it shows the weather of some other Latin\/German country but not specifically when you have asked for and if they are not able to show the weather reports of any Indian Based cities it would be recommended not to atleast show this widget in active status.<\/li>\n<li>50% of Preinstalled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/apple\/info\/apple-macbook\/\">Macbook<\/a> Applications are generally related to the web ie all the Applications with a Prefix of &#8216;i&#8217; like iGarage, iChat, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, iCal etc and the reason for this is that whenever you try to use any of these like for playing a music file or for playing a movie file you will be asked to connect to the internet to update and get it in working status, If macbook is really advanced then why dont they offer applications which work with any file formats and we dont need any codec softwares for playing specific format files.<\/li>\n<li>When you run iDVD application the first error message you get is &#8216;Your Macintosh does not have a supported SuperDrive. Please note that while you will be able to work with the iDVD application you cannot Burn a DVD disc&#8217; Guess what when you buy a Macbook you would expect the preinstalled softwares to be compatible with the available hardware and if you dont have a specific hardware why would you expect a software which cannot be used?<\/li>\n<li>Macbook claimed to be the most secured operating system was recently hacked and this makes it come under the windows security level category. There are numerous virus found on Macbook. if Macbook OSX is really that secure why in the world do we have these many <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.versiontracker.com\/macosx\/security\">antivirus software applications<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>If there was no Windows Operating system, there would have been no Mac OSX because if you compare in depth its just a clone of Windows operating system, tried to show in different colour variations, little bit of spicy web applications added and great hype created for making a demand in the market. Over and above Apple even airs some commercials which compares both Windows and MacOSX operating systems , another cheap publicity stunt. Its the Windows Operating system which was the main reason why the whole world has advanced today and everyone knows about a computer on the other hand if Apple would have launched their products first the technology would have been back by 10 years because when there are not many users of something there is not sharing of knowledge and advancement in technology.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Overall in my view Apple Sucks and Windows Rocks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Macbook is a product from Apple which has got a huge Hype in the market as any other Apple products get.
