    Josef is an absolute genius.. He told Arun he didn't know whether to get Mac or Windows so he ended up getting both lmao
  • @victorjacob1
    The problem here is that this is not "Windows" vs Mac. It's this particular Dell computer. There are so many options available at this price point.
  • So this is Dell vs Macbook, not Mac vs Windows. Barely talked about the OS, just talked about Dell's laptop vs a Macbook. Like wat about an X1 Carbon, imo those r better than XPS

    I just got the Macbook Air M2 yesterday, and it's one of my best experiences that I ever had with any electronics. One obvious downslide is of course the lack of games that you can play on the Mac ios, but since I already have my gaming laptop it's not that much of an issue :D
  • @thatguyFS6961
    There's some missing points on your end: 1- upgradability 2- variety of choices 300$-5000$ laptops Also as an engineer it's literally not an option since 80%+ of the software I need isn't even available on Mac. I think it boils down to the person's needs and choice there is no clear winner
  • @lukgamer3213
    You are not testing Mac Vs widows, you are testing Dell Vs Apple
  • Literally watching this on the same XPS 15 from the video. Bought it last September and am very happy with it.
  • @harigamedev
    13:49 if you hold on the green button that is used to make the screen bigger, it will give you a drop down menu to choose left or right like halfscreens
  • @Gamepunt_be
    On the security side you’re half right. Yes, Mac is far less susceptible to viruses and other attacks. BUT, once a Mac gets infected it’s an absolute horror show because there are also less tools and far less knowledge on how to remove nasty viruses from Macs. Oh and you should have gone with “a subscribe would be MACnificent” 🤭
  • @sczoot6285
    The fact that unboxing is a point equal to performance is mind blowing
  • @PatrickVR
    Beautiful editing Jozef I really enjoy how you use Comic Sans which is definitely my favourite font
  • @brianbauer9399
    Great video. Please do a windows vs MacBook usage for most work scenarios. I use windows at work but would like to know if a Mac would be better or even equal. I am very new to Mac. I’ve got a M1 air. That would be a great video as no one has covered this topic properly.

    As much as I would like to buy a macbook,for the awesome screen,baterry,sound,optimization it has,the lack of compatibility with apps is in my opinion what makes macbook pretty much useless,I want to be able to use any and every app out there,I am not a person that just sticks to 2 or 3 tools that everyone uses and calls it a day,I need customizability to be able to use apps that were just released and that no one would think of using.

    I think you missed an extremely important point here, which is upgradability. I replaced the battery on my 5 year old Dell XPS 15, and it is basically all new. If you are someone who likes some tinkering, you can also upgrade the ram, ssd, wifi card, do repasting and undervolting. I did all that in addition to switching to a linux operating system, and my laptop is performing much better than a new/stock laptop. Edit: Some have pointed out that you can also upgrade on a MacBook, and you are absolutely right! Though for my XPS 15 and other Windows laptops, switching batteries is very simple and I paid about 60€ for a 97Wh battery. Another point is also that you can set the charging limit to say 75% which preserves its life expectancy even more. I am not sure if it is possible on a Mac though.. At the end of the day I think both laptops are amazing, it just depends on what you value more :)

    15:15 I actually just got an rog strix g16 and if you are looking for a gaming laptop id 100% recommend
  • Very well done video. I just bought my first Macbook Pro 14, 18GB, 512GB because my 6 year old Pavilion with 8GB locks up when I edit videos. Thought it was time to time something different.
  • @ScienceGuy5610
    One issue I have with this video is that Arun should have played songs for the speaker tests cause if he only shows a video of him speaking for a speaker test, we would only be able to hear the high and mid range frequency performances of the speakers. In addition to that driver performance, sound detail, and bass etc are very important and to test that playing music would have been way better.
  • @OffMeta-Gaming
    My only problem is there isn't a lot of scientific reasoning for these. Like you said the displays were really similar but then have it to the Mac just because of resolution. There are still color accuracy, refresh rates and other things for almost every category you have set up.
