Mac Vs PC??

Question

right now i have a pc, and im looking for a new computer because i am having problems. Im am interested in a Mac. Are Mac's better than PC's?

Answer 1

It's quite simple. Mac currently has a great OS (OS X) that has a few features that MS hasn't even considered yet, but on the other hand, PCs have more software that is compatable, but I don't forsee this being a problem either way since any program that is for PC almost always has some sort of a counterpart for Mac. When it comes down to it, it's truly preference. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If you were to compare mac or pc spec for spec then it's true the mac would probably have the edge, but if you were to compare price for price then a £700 pc will beat a £700 mac any day, I run a college computer graphics dept and found that macs crash and are akin to the same viral problems as pc (only pc antiviral programms are alot cheaper and easier to get hold of) also mac's do not like to be networked!!!!!!

Answer 3

You will have to tell us what you want to do with it. Actually not sure of Macs anymore but in the old days they were GREAT for certain things. They were very limited though. Now though things are proably about the same. Sorry not an expert as never really used a MAC. Now when I was a kid, showing age to some, in school we used the Apple IIe I think it was. So was taught computers on an Apple but at home when we got one it was a PC.

Nope. I have a mac for school, I love it because the GUI is nice and clean, it's easy to use. For games and programming however, you are better off getting a PC. I prefer PC's myself because, they are highly customizable partswise. I've built seven or so from the ground up. Also, if you are a graphic designer, programs such as photoshop will run faster on a mac versus a PC with the same specs. Once you start building your own though, that advantage goes away damn fast.

Also, the "Macs don't crash" arguement is very, very stupid. My mac can crash easier than my PC, if I remove the USB thumbdrive the wrong way it freezes and I have to hard boot it. Macs have less malicious code targeted at them though, but don't get used to that.

Answer 5

the problem used to be a shortage of software for the mac, but now that it is running Unix, there are millions of programmers all over the world writing software for the Mac. Smart move on Steve Jobs's decision to move to Unix. The Mac hardware is far better than the PC's, but also more expensive. My next computer will be a Mac.

Answer 6

I love Mac computers but the price is a bit off putting and they can be just a problematic as a PC. Toshibas are the best laptops in my opinion. Check Consumer Reports.com.

Answer 7

My husband is a Mac enthusiast. He hates PCs with a passion. Over the past year, I've used nothing but Macs and once you get used to them, they are good. They do not crash like PC's and I haven't encountered any problems. They are also known for not getting viruses. Do some more research, but my guess is that you'll like Macs once you get used to them.

Answer 8

I'm in the same boat and my next computer will be an iMac (probably the 17"). Faster, easier to operate, no spyware, viruses, etc. Macs used to be more expensive and have less software than PCs, but I don't think that's true anymore.

Answer 9

I hate that commercial. It's so lame
I have used both Mac's and PC's. They both run each others programs but Apple overprices EVERYTHING. I was in the same position as you recently and I bought another PC.
It's just cheaper

Answer 10

I think that Macs are better for high end graphics programs
