Hi, As far as I can remember, if you really want to compare...the only thing you can't do on the Mac as a blind person is actually perform the Apple hardware test (AHD), which is understandable. There are very good reasons for that. Even so, though, you can get third-party tools that use Terminal, for example, to run separate tests which will, when put together, essentially measure exactly the same as the Hardware Test will. So, if you are willing to listen to thousands of lines of text, go ahead.
