Mac Air Vs Windows Laptop

Loving my new MacBook Air, windows user for ever. Mac so reliable and a breath of fresh Air.

Using drive on my Mac Air and works perfectly. Came pre-formatted for Windows but easy to re-partition and format for use on both. Haven't had it for too long yet so not sure how well it will hold up in my laptop bag over time but so far can recommend the product.

I love this. I use it for everything and I love that it can be used by both windows and mac.

Upgraded for the first time in 12 years. Purchased/returned a Windows laptop, MacBook Air, and finally landed on this MBP. Great daily driver with plenty of CPU/GPU and memory for my low intensity needs. 14” XDR screen is gorgeous. And to boot, got it at a great sale price.

Tested with both my old Windows laptop and new Apple M1 MacBook Air using both CFexpress and XQD cards and worked very well. Also like that it has both type of cables needed for each laptop.

This is plug-and-play: it worked right out of the box on my Mac, and also on a Windows-based laptop I use for another job, connecting to my Sony FX6. I had to figure out, through trial and error, that the frame rate I send out of the camera must be 29.97 in order for the computer to understand the signal. But once I had that sorted, I wound up with an image far superior to my webcam.

i have tested this with both a Mac and Windows laptop, and am currently using it with a new 2024 Mac (which only has 2x USB-C ports on the rear). Perfect for plugging in USB memory sticks, an old USB printer, and an external USB HDD for Time Machine backup. Positives - very fast (10Gbps), small and compact, great for travel, no drivers needed, Works with multiple O/S. Negative - Well the only thing i can think of is when its on my desk under the Mac, (with the cable going away from you) the Startech logo is upside down! Very minor point, but this is the only negative i can come up with. Highly recommended product, im very pleased with it.

We wanted a back-up drive for both a Windows machine and a Mac laptop. This was recommended by B&H so I bought it. It delivers as promised, after reformatting it to a FAT format. Works off 1 USB port on both computers, so it is very portable and convenient. Cannot attest to the durability or reliability as we have only had it about a month. If it continues to be this flawless, I will get another one.

This is my first time owning a Mac PC. I can say that I'm pleased with my laptop and may not return to a Windows PC. The laptop runs very smooth, no lags, and does not overheat which was one of my concern. Also, the battery life is great, overall I'm happy with my purchase.

This laptop is an outstanding value! I’m a Mac guy, and needed a Windows machine for certain bits of software. The screen resolution is impressive. Signing-in with facial recognition is incredibly handy. The built-in camera cover is a thoughtful feature. AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Acrobat run very well and the previously mentioned screen resolution makes work easy on the eyes. Touchscreen? Backlit keyboard? At a mid-$600 price point are surprising features. I’d buy this laptop again.
