Should I buy a MacBook (₹1–1.5 lakh) or a Windows laptop (around ₹70,000)?

Budget isn’t the deciding factor. I’m looking for a device that will last for many years, offers excellent reliability, consistent performance, and a smooth overall experience. Which would be the better long-term investment?

If u do not game, do not use cracked software, then absolutely go for a mac. Mac is unmatched in this regard.

But if u game or use cracked software, then go for windows, especially gaming laptops or laptops that have no ram soldered and 2 ssd slots, for future upgradability.

Also, if going for windows, please check youtube videos thoroughly for the model u are going for.

I am speaking from personal experience, most of the ryzen laptops have a mediatek wifi and bluetooth chip that have driver issues with windows.. means they will work, but sometimes they will disappear from the system inspite of being there... Only option then is to format windows and reinstall.

So always go for a laptop with intel wifi and bluetooth chip. They are far better.

And also, if u are considering windows... Then my suggestion would be to go with a ryzen cpu.

Rest your decision

Yeah, it happens with Intel too, especially the Asus TUF F series laptops.
