5. Connect Devices with More Ports
Windows 11 supports more ports for connecting external devices than Mac OS X. Windows 11 users can use USB, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet, audio, and other ports to connect devices such as printers, scanners, monitors, speakers, keyboards, mice, and others. Users can also use the USB port to charge other devices, such as smartphones or tablets.
Mac OS X has fewer and more limited ports than Windows 11. Mac OS X users typically only have USB-C or Thunderbolt ports, which require adapters or dongles to connect to other devices. Users also can’t use USB-C or Thunderbolt ports to charge other devices, unless those devices also support those ports.
6. Using the Touchscreen and Stylus Features
Windows 11 is an operating system that supports touchscreen and stylus features, allowing users to operate their computer with the touch of a finger or digital pen. This feature is especially useful for users who want to interact with their computer more intuitively and creatively. Users can also use the Windows Ink Workspace feature, which is a built-in Windows 11 application for drawing, writing, and taking notes with a stylus.
Mac OS X does not support touchscreen and stylus features, as Apple argues that these features are not suitable for desktop or laptop computers. Mac OS X users can only use a trackpad or mouse to operate their computers. Users also cannot use the Windows Ink Workspace feature, because there are no similar applications available for Mac OS X.
7. Using Cortana and Windows Hello Features
Windows 11 features Cortana and Windows Hello, which are powerful features that utilize voice and biometric technologies. Cortana is a digital assistant that can help users do various things with voice commands, such as finding information, managing schedules, sending emails, and others. Windows Hello is a security feature that can unlock a user’s computer with a face, fingerprint, or iris.
Mac OS X lacks Cortana and Windows Hello features, as Apple has not yet developed similar features for its operating system. Mac OS X users can only use the Siri feature, which is a more limited digital assistant than Cortana. Users also can’t use biometric security features unless they have another Apple device connected to Mac OS X.
8. Using Snap Assist and Task View Features
Windows 11 features Snap Assist and Task View, which are productivity features that make it easier for users to organize app windows on their screens. Snap Assist is a feature that lets you automatically sync app windows to the sides or corners of the screen by dragging them. Task View is a feature that can display all running application windows on one screen by pressing the Windows key + Tab.
Mac OS X does not have Snap Assist and Task View features, as Apple has not implemented similar features for its operating system. Mac OS X users can only use the Split View feature, which is a feature that can divide the screen into two parts by pressing the green button in the upper left corner of the application window. Users can also use the Mission Control feature, which is a feature that can display all application windows on one screen by dragging four fingers up on the trackpad.
