For some people, security is the biggest concern when they buy any electronic device. Historically, Macs have been more secure than Windows PC. The main reason is that more than 90% of the users have Windows installed on their system. So, most of the malware and viruses are made for PCs.
However, times are changing now. With the increasing popularity of macOS among the high-value targets like programmers, the hackers are now shifting their concentration towards Apple laptops. Also. with Microsoft’s Defender anti-virus program, Windows is making steady strides forward in the field of security.
Overall, macOS is still more secure at this point in time. Regarding security, one point to keep in mind is that we should not open and download files from unknown sources that seem suspicious. Also, for Windows users, it is advised not to use any other anti-virus except the Microsoft’s Defender.
