Both Platforms offer great experiences,yet neither platforms is perfect. While these devices are incredible capable in their own right, the superior device between the two is Microsoft. If you are absolutely in need of best battery life than Apple is awesome. Obsolescense is the big issue ,when we buy a new laptop, the development of new hardware is so fast that it obsolete when you buy it. The Apple software being updated incremental every year( built in update function) instead Microsoft being updated every 3-4 years (having to pay for the upgrade).The Apple model for software development makes older hardware better integrated in the operating system as a rule of thumb Window laptops are obsolete after 2-3 years where Apple obsolete after 3-6 years. So overall Apple is better between the two of them.
