Macbook or Windows Laptop for crypto

[Velocity13]

Hi everyone,

I must changing from laptop and actually i use a Windows HP laptop. Now we know all, security is a big issue in crypto. And off course the change to have a virus or malware is much lower with a mac. So i thinking to taking a MacBook in place a Windows laptop. But there are to points i esitate:

- Is it eassy to switch between a Windows pc a going to a MacBook?
- Are all the applications and wallet released at the same time then for Windows? When i looked for the RPX presale, the wallet to use with Neocoins, get released much soner then for mac. I even think it was a issue to get a macwallet that can be used for the RPX presale.

So is it worth to make to step the change and to go to a macbook? Please dont aswer with your personal feeling (because everybody has a preference..), but with your technical advice, and specialy when you do cryptoinvestment and use wallets and whant to use applications.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Having owned a macbook myself, I can testify that the device still works great even after a year of using it. As for wallet releases and application updates, Macs tend to receive updates later than its Windows counterpart, but in terms of security, hands down for the mac especially if you don't commit common, unlooked errors when browsing the web. In terms of transferring the privkeys, there wouldn't be any problem at all since backups made on a windows machine can be recovered by macs most of the time.

I want to get a macbook as well. I have been using Windows for a while but the security is much less than that of APPLE MACS, so am hoping that one day when I can afford it I will buy one apple 27 IMAC desktop for my home and an IMAC air for travelling around but who knows, I need a ton of money to get these lovely gadgets for both crypto work and play. Every time we go to these computer places with my DAD AND HUBBY, I always look at the 27 inch IMAC and dream of owning it one day.

Both operating system are ok! But of a particular interest is macbook to crypto users! Mac seem to be stronger security wise compare to window. You rarely see or  hear about Mac been hacked. Microsoft on the other hand is full of many complaint.

I choose laptop or disktop is easy to use for my crypto activities, sometimes i use macbook if i'm on the field or outside in my house and i bring pocket wifi. So in short is depend on the place or situation what are comportable.

Macbook is best for crypto because that laptop have good security system and the price is not too expensive for a trader.

Macbook is best in terms of security but many softwares will only supports windows than macbook amd updates are less in macbook than windows.So you can buy windows and keep high quality anti virus will give full security than macbook.
But the important thing you need to know is that you have to store your private keys in pendrive because if we store it in oursystem itslef then the chance of getting hacked is more even in mac or windows.

I also used Windows 7 laptop. But i had to change it to macbook. And now I really satisfied with it. I don't have any problems with wallets and security on my activity on the cryptomarket.

I also really hope to be as you say. for now I also still raise money to be able to make me do my activities anywhere. hopefully a goal like you say can be achieved.

I havent used a mcbook before because Im a windows fanatic from the beginning I already tried windows on laptop, desktops installing different cryptocurrency wallets from bitcoin core to the newest digital wallet I have and still working fine no problems encountered like in terms of security, malware etc my own advise if you are using windows to avoid downloading of malicious software that may steal your private keys always install wallet that can be downloaded only from the official sites thats all.

depending on what you are going to do, if in terms of video editing and the like I think it's better to choose a macbook but if you use it only for browsing and light use better use windows.

[rainmaximo]

I prepare Macbook or any Apple product because I can say that the security feature of apple product is much better that in windows.

[Low Sigma]

I will clearly go with Mac OS X or a Linux distr any time over Windows.

So if i would use laptos only for trading, i should get MAC? for security reasons?
What if i use a windows laptop and do only trading with it, and keep wallets in it? NO web browsing or other unrelated to trading things

Because the majority of the ransom ware has been  made to attack the windows operating system because that has used by majority of people around the world. that's why we rarely to see mac os getting hacked caused by ransom ware or other.
But linux will become the best os for crypto ever.

You don't have to buy a macbook just for better security and it depends if you have the budget. Imo for better security just get a hardware wallet for less than a laptop.

I'm using a windows laptop and my online wallets hasn't been hacked or compromised since I started my bitcoin adventure.

I think the security of our crypto currency will be based on the wallets so it is better to choose any of the operating system.But macbook is little more secured in terms of viruses so you can go with Mac.Even in mac never store private keys,store them in the offline drives.

[alink]

If you will chose Windows, don't forget to encrypt your disk

[Tactical Genius]

Your best vet actually is to have a cryptocurrency hardware wallet instead of relying on other wallet clients this is very important though because basically people work around the clocj trying to exploit the flaws in wallet clients and so practically it is impossible to give a 100% trust to these wallets no matter the operating system you use.In any case,windows can be encrypted to keep ypur data secure and so will be preferred over Mac.

I do not think it really matters as long as you are familiar with what you are using.
