Hey there guys, I would just like to ask, is Mac or Windows better for accounting? If I get a mac, I get a mac. If I get windows, I get windows. I won't be using bootcamp. Please say!

I'd say they're the same... pretty sure you can get any program for accounting on both OS.

 

Just personal preference in what is easier to use and to get the job done more efficiently.

This is very opinionated and I would bet that not everybody here has a history in accounting... I'm not saying nobody I just don't mean everyone.. So I have no idea whether or not there are specific accounting programs for each... I'm just going to say windows because it is my preference.

i'm going to have to say windows because macs document area is just so messy imo but im sure you get used to it. I also dont like how tabs work on mac. EDIT: after googling around it seems most accounts who use mac run windows on it anyways and pay for the build quality etc but i would just get one of the acer s7 laptops, the one linus likes because it reminds me of a mac ahha

It's like comparing apples to oranges. Everyone has their own preferences. But my preference is Windows. 

True, but I'm seeing what's better for accounting

I dont really think you will find an answer for that here to be completely honest, while we have a lot of PC knowledge collected on this forum, there isnt necessarily a lot of accounting knowledge.

haha I see what you did there ;) Apple Apples Oranges.... xD

 

 

But are you comparing OSX to Windows.... Mac is a brand-name of hardware/software not just the OS.....

 

 

Also I have no idea really due to never working in accounting and what software there is out for both of them D:

What do people even put in these things?

Mac basically means osx, since osx only comes from mac.. Windows comes from many different brands

I would say it depends on the usage scenario. Do you need a laptop? Will you be on the move? Multiple screens at the office?

Laptop for sure, will be moving around alot. No multiple screens, not required at all.

 

Go the mac, especially for accounting. Alot more secure and worker friendly in terms of data encryption and storage.

Soon to be uni

As it stands now, MacBook Air is, IMO, your best choice for 13". 12h battery and the best trackpad you can get. Only thing is, I would assume a numpad would be nice for accounting work, and the laptops I like doesn't have them. But then again, you could easily get something that plugs into USB or something (or BlueTooth, no dongle! :D)

Any laptops with a decent graphic card?

Get the ASUS Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DS72.

Intel Core i7-3517U(1.90GHz)

4GB DDR3 RAM, 128GBx2 SSD (256GB via RAID 0)

Intel HD Graphics 4000 + nVidia GT620M 1GB

Windows 8 64-Bit

Newegg has it on sale. It's $450.00 off normal price. Buy it here this is a really good deal and it has a really good card for such a thin and light ultrabook
