I am currently using windows base computer it is perfectly doing alright.But i sill suggest you if you have a chance to work in IOS based Macbook you better choose that as it is much faster and has a very corporate based themes which allows you to work professionally. Macbook is kind of no nonsense PC as it doesn't allows you to store any rubbish stuff with that it has his own virus detector which is safer than any other anti-virus.Transactions are also very secure.One thing that is a common problem with every IOS user is it is difficult to understand and once they understand,it is difficult to work in other processors.

I'm using a Windows Laptop for crypto trading. It is safe as long as you are avoiding to connect it to public WiFi and the 2FA are enabled in all of your accounts. It doesn't matter if you are using Macbook or Windows Laptop provided that you are following the security measures in your accounts.

I think Macbook with IOS is more safer than Bitcoin. If you are rich, you can use Macbook to trade and store your coins. Remember you also need one strong security solfware to protect your laptop.

Technically, MacBook with MacOS is more safer than Windows Notebook with Win10 or Win7. And it is easy for you to be used to MacBook after using it for several weeks .

Most of the coins have wallets both for MacOS and Windows, but some new altcoins may just have wallet for Windows. However, why to buy such coins?  Grin

Both are useable in cryto because they can uses in bitcoin or crypto world. But for me, I want a laptop that is lighter because it is most comfortable to use and you can bring it everywhere.

Macbook is more secure than windows that's for me because I used last 2 years ago apple laptop and Im never experience any hack,  any interruption or any abonmalities but My macbook broke and I never use it again because they dont have chance to restored . So I choose windows for trading or for to buy crypto or doing bitcoin and Im very happy because I did tnot experince also any problems because I think I download anti virus and different protection. But highly recommended to use macbook because it's fully tested to use and many user for sure agree with me . But other also for sure better is windows we have different experience to our laptops.

If you have the ability to follow me, you should choose a Macbook for crypto operations. Because Apple's optimized Macbook has very high security, data processing speeds are extremely fast, giving crypto investors peace of mind about their data being stolen and manipulation done. It's quicker and more accurate. I used to use both Windows and MacBook laptops, so I had a lot of satisfaction with the Macbook as it gave me a better experience.

Actually I have used both the windows laptop and apple MacBook, and right now I am using two windows based laptop and one MacBook. It took me sometime to learn the basics of MacBook as I have recently bought my new MacBook but to be honest changing from Windows to MacBook was really tough for few days specially with the wallets and exchanges operations and adjusting the browser views and other things. But now its really super easy to take trades with my exchanges using MacBook and that's all because of the high processor speed of apple MacBook. In MacBook few of my personal trading software like keystock,  ninjatrader version 8  works smoother and faster than windows.

I think both of them are ok. The most important thing is that you should use a good security solfware to protect your PC. No problem what window or IOS you use.

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!

I think macbook offers a great experience in some crypto work like trading and keeping track on all the flow of crypto. But still the operating system does not matter as you can also earn bitcoins or any other crypto from mobile phones unless you are not involved in mining. I think that the skills are more necessary to earn bitcoin rather than a good machine or an operating system.

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.



What about coins where you can only download the wallets and its not compatible with the nano ledger s etc?  There are lot of coins that you can only store them on your wallet on computer.

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


Can you explain what you mean by this?  Do you mean a program like bitlocker?

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

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.

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
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.

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.
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.
