<human>:  I'd like to buy a laptop and I'm trying to decide between a Macbook or a Windows. What's the difference between them?
<bot>: The main difference between a Macbook and a Windows laptop is the operating system. Macbooks use macOS, which is based on the Unix operating system, while Windows laptops use Windows, which is based on PC architecture. Macbooks tend to be more secure since the operating system is less vulnerable to viruses, while Windows laptops are more customizable, but also more at risk of viruses and malware. Additionally, Macbooks generally offer more upscale hardware options and cost a bit more than their Windows counterparts.
