Apple and Microsoft have always had campaigns through which they tried to convince customers that the product of the other company is not worth the money asked for. In the most recent one advertising campaign carried out by this company tries to convince its customers that instead of buying a Mac it is better to buy a PC and with the difference in money go on a trip. Microsoft made a table comparing any model of MacBook Air/MacBook Pro and iMac, with approximately equivalent laptops/PCs. Microsoft always emphasizes the price difference between the products and we have to admit the difference is very big.
The problem with Microsoft's comparisons is that they don't take certain aspects of the hardware into account, i.e. a Core 2 Duo or an Intel i5/i7 works much better than an Intel Atom, an Athlon II or an Intel processor Pentium. Let's talk about the fact that an SSD from Apple is faster than a normal HDD that comes equipped with any normal laptop? For Microsoft, the difference in money matters, but not the experience of using that product.
The problem is simple, if you have money and you are interested in the experience of using it, then Mac or an equivalent powerful PC is your choice, but if you don't have money, then a recommendation from Microsoft will save you from a big expense, but don't think that you will have a very pleasant user experience.
