As many of the members already pointed out: Switch to Apple if you: 1. Are a moderate to advanced user and do not mind unlearning and re-learning 2. Your usage is more around text based apps, emailing, youtube, web browsing etc. 3. long battery life is a non-negociable
Do not switch: 1. you have heavy usage of excel (Voiceover does not even come close to reporting a lot of critical information like jaws does in Excel) 2. you use math and related softwares 3. you don't want to go through the learning curve.
