Mac Pro Vs Windows Laptop

As a Windows Refugee this Mac Pro blows any windows PC out of the water! The Dual XEON 2.4 GHtz 8-Core processors, ATI Radeon HD5870 Video Card, three Western Digital 1TB HDD's, Pioneer Blu-Ray 12X Internal Burner, Apple DVD Internal Burner makes this machine handle anything I throw at it!

I love my laptop, its fast and works great. My desktop is Windows 7 pro and this comes with windows 8.1 home. I just need to upgrade it to pro and I'm good to go.

It's great laptop ready to use but more power with probably a Windows Pro edition.

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

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.

Nicely done on the PRO VS EVO. The PRO actually does have a full 1TB available, VS the EVO's 960GB after formatting.
