MacBook Pro. Build quality is amazing, but macOS is far far behind Windows.

OSX is certainly far behind - because it's ancient history - but macOS isn't.

Windows from my experience is preferable because:

- WLS as a development environment

- better multi monitor support

- better window management

- more configurability

- less likely to crash

- has tons of useful features baked into the file explorer like being able to explore zip files, cast media, et cetera

I love the design and feel of the MacBook Pro, but the OS just doesn’t match the hardware unfortunately
