ELI5: What are the strengths and weaknesses of macs vs PCs? (Objectively, please)
gpt
Macs are custom designed to work with a smaller set of hardware and software.  So more attention is given to details that are hard to enforce in an open, generic platform.  However, inevitably, Apple is stuck with a smaller number of vendors who can therefore exert price pressure and ultimately cause the machine cost to be highly marked up.

Windows main selling point is the high degree of backwards compatibility and openness.  There is a high onus on independent developers to provide all the quality of their solution by themselves.  Since Microsoft does not have any real method of enforcement of any quality standards (other than minor incentives such as the "Windows logo" program) you get solutions with quite varied quality.  On the other hand the more open market place tends to create fair and correct pricing for third party hardware and software.

So there is a common conception that Mac's tend to crash less and "just work" more and that Windows tends to be flakey, insecure and more difficult to use.  Windows machines tend to be much cheaper than Macs.
