Why people think that Mac is better than pc? Im Mac user and I like Mac. I think Apple just uses better hardware and charges extra for it. If you build windows with better hardware then windows will work really fast too. On Mac gradle build takes really less time because of SSD it does not mean Mac is faster. Get SSD for windows and see the difference yourself.
- P.S. Not hater of any OS.

I just want to say that window environment takes 1.5Gb on Window 10. Don't know about Mac OS though

Totally agree my dell xps 15 is amazing

@Celes it means nothing :) check alsl the size of android and ios for example

@dontbeevil well my Gentoo takes less than 200mb of my ram. So 1.5Gb, it's kinda huge to me xD

@Celes ah you're talking about ram, windows take something like of half of your ram when it starts, even if it doesn't really need it, for better performance, if some software needs that ram Windows gives to it unused ram it's wasted ram. I'll send you a technical article that explains everything later, if I'll find it :)

@dontbeevil yeah System directory on Windows is at least 20Gb xP

A Mac these days is just the same guts as a windows PC in a nice shell and your paying at least $500-$1000 more for the same specs vs a windows pc

What people forget or don't know is that Apple owns both the hardware and the software of their machines and can therefore adjust them accordingly. Windows is written to support all kind of hardware while OS X is written for a specific hardware. Hence all BSOD using Windows and never any using OS X (my experience over the last 20 years of computing).

So saying "You get faster computer because better specs with windows" is not really true, you can't compare them 1:1.

@zshh i didn't see a single BSOD since wondows 7 (8, 8.1 and 10) of course on good hw and good driver... On the other hand in one year in my previous agency i saw 4 black screens on 2 macbook, 2 of them on tha latest macbook pro fresh reinstalled

@dontbeevil Good for you, sounds like we had the opposite experience using Windows and OS X

@Celes found it, unused RAM is wasted RAM, here it explains everything

don't confuse the OS RAM usage with chrome (for example) RAM usage, OS manage the RAM so if some process needs it OS give to it, chrome cannot and doesn't do the same :)
