Petr Škuta Students in higher education prefer Macs over PCs. A relatively large percentage prefers to work with a Mac or would like to work with it in the work process.
The author of the research is the company Jamf, which focuses on the creation of the MDM tool of the same name. 2 respondents from colleges and universities in five countries took part in the study. The results speak in favor of the Mac.

A total of 71% of students surveyed prefer Mac over PC. Meanwhile, "only" 40% of them use a Mac, and another 31% use a PC but prefer a Mac. The remaining 29% are satisfied PC users who use and prefer it.
Furthermore, over 67% of students would like to work in an organization that allows them to choose between a Mac and a PC. In fact, for 78% of them, the choice between Mac and PC is an important element when deciding on a job.
The reasons why students prefer Macs are varied. Among the common ones were, for example, ease of use in 59%, durability and endurance in 57%, synchronization with other devices in 49% or simply 64% like the Apple brand. A full 60% prefer a Mac for design and style. In the opposite camp, price was the dominant answer in 51% of cases.
The reality of work - Mac only with BYOD
Although the research may seem highly skewed by a company that makes a living out of Apple device management software, it may not be that far from reality. In particular, the conditions at universities in the USA and Western Europe are different from ours.
It is likely that students and Mac users will need to adapt and use a company PC when they move to a corporate environment. There are still very few companies that use Mac as their main platform. On the other hand, many companies today allow you to use a Mac as a benefit, even if you own one in BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) mode.
It is not entirely unrealistic that they will then continue to use their Mac in a corporate environment if they are not do not restrict work. After all, as part of the BYOD policy, I work on my MacBook Pro. However, the person concerned must make sense of it and understand all the risks arising from it. And how do you arrange it at work?

Well, the choice between Apple and Dell is quite common... That is, if we are talking about content creation, middle management. "Shovel" probably has no choice.
That's how I apply BYOT with my Macbook pro. And at home I have a desktop PC with Windows waiting for me, for a few bucks, on which I can play nicely. Each system has its advantages.

From my experience, probably like this, macbook air for school, documents, presentations, internet, but that's probably where I'd end up. That's why I buy a normal desktop PC with programs and games, so in short it's like this.
You've forgotten that Macs are suitable as a design accessory for coffee in Starbucks :) Otherwise, I totally agree:)
Well, only a geek out of reality would really go there with MSI :)
The research was done by a company that makes a living managing software for Apple devices. That says it all……
