… here’s the bottom line: Strictly on the basis of specs and features, your money will go further with a Windows laptop than with an Apple laptop, whether you have $1000 or $2000 to spend.
But does that mean MacBooks aren’t a good value? That’s where subjectivity comes into play. In my opinion, MacBooks, with the exception of the white $999 model, are indeed good values. I’ve owned both Macs and Windows PCs since the early 90s, and my Macs have tended to last longer and give me far fewer problems. And Macs are simply a joy to use, thanks to the Mac OS’s many ingenious features and Apple’s design savvy. I’ve rarely felt that way about a Windows computer.
