Windows or Mac? Finally decided.

I have really struggled with whether I would switch to a new Mac with the M1 chip or buy another Windows laptop. My deciding factor in choice of computers is Logos Bible Software.

I had about decided to switch to a Mac, but then I was reading in Logos as I prepared my sermon. I realized how much I use my touchscreen with Logos, especially when reading. I cannot give that up! It is natural now to reach my hand to the screen and scroll. I do it without thinking about it.

I had not appreciated how much that is a part of how I use Logos! Sticking with another Windows laptop.

Hoping for a future Apple Silicon Mac model to include touch screen, which would include touch access for iOS apps.

Like Apple Silicon speed, but lack of touch screen provides disincentive for MacBook Air replacement purchase.

Keep Smiling [:)]

Good point. I mostly don't use the touchscreen on my XPS but I am way deep into it on my iPad. It still kind of surprises me that the Mac doesn't do it.

the choice has always seemed to me like the choice between a Toyota and a Cadillac. The Mac should be a better computer as they cost about twice as much.

I drive Ford... because it works, does what I need it to do and is comfortable and not as expensive as Cadillac.

I buy Windows computers for the same reason.

FORD - Fix Or Repair Daily seems like a good analogy when it comes to using Windows systems. Years ago I worked for a company mostly just keeping their windows machines operational. If they would have had Macs I would have been like the Maytag Repairman of yesteryear.

The old saying "Macs just work" has proven true for me. . My 2013 MacBook Pro is still humming along swimmingly.

I come to the opposite conclusion when I construct my 'total cost of ownership spreadsheet'.

That exercise often throws up some surprises when comparing sources for a mobile phone. Some 'good deals' are only good deals if you only expect to survive for six months.
