What's better a Mac or a PC?

Answer 1

Macintosh. Why? Well, there's a million reasons. iLife is a great reason. With iLife, you have a complete suite of software for managing your digital life. You have iPhoto for all of your precious photos. iPhoto stores and organizes your photos. Photo editing is easy with iPhoto. There's iMovie to edit your digital videos. iMovie is easy with drag and drop operation and great editing effects. It's surprisingly fast, as well. There's iDVD to create professional looking DVDs of your photo slideshows and iMovie creations. There's also iWeb, an application that makes building web pages a breeze. I almost forgot GarageBand. GarageBand is great for creating music. It's easier, yet more powerful than anything I've used on the PC. So, you like software? There's always this myth spread around by PC users that there's this great lack of software for Macs. Not true. There may be millions of calendar programs for the PC, but out of those million, how many are any good? Two or three? Simply put, crap doesn't survive in the Mac market. :-) Don't want to pay a fortune for Microsoft Office? There's NeoOffice, a port of OpenOffice and native to Mac OS X. It's got all the features of Microsoft Office, but it's free. Like Google's software? Great, because Google is now making a commitment to making great Mac software. Like AOL IM? Great, it's built in to the system with iChat. PDF files? Built in. Basically put, if it's available for the PC, there's a pretty good chance that there's a Mac OS X equivalent, or better. Here's another myth: Mac's lack of viruses is due to it's lack of users or low market share. Again, not true. Here's a link to a great article debunking that myth.

As you may have heard, you can now run Windows on any new Macintosh. This means that you can continue to use your PC programs and play your PC games, just as if you were on a PC. Windows runs fully native on a Mac, thanks to it's speedy Intel processors. Here's another myth: Macs are more expensive. Again, not true. A Dell system similar to a Mac in it's configuration is generally more expensive or just as expensive as the Macintosh. Here's another myth: You'll be stuck with a one-button mouse. Again, not true. You can use ANY multi-button USB mouse with a Mac, even one with a scroll wheel. They all work great. :-) Look, I could go on all day. Just do some reading, there's plenty of great reasons to buy a Mac.

Answer 2

MAC has its advantages in the world of Art. Graphic designers use it almost exclusely.

But sharing data, documents in the business world means PC (IBM). With the PC, you get people that are trained on standardized tools. You reach 90 percent of the computer literacy and funtionality.

From a security point of view, the MAC wins. Many people that use MACs on-line simply don't have anti-virus programs. MAC users don't even know what SpyWare is.

So it all depends on what you intend to do with it.

If you want an IT job, then GO PC... that is where the large userbase is. MACs generally do not need IT people, and there are fewer programs that share data.

Answer 3

Mac is so user-friendly. Why any sane person would buy a PC is beyond my ability to figure out. Maybe because a PC is cheaper?
My last PC is still in use....as a boat anchor.

How could you ask that question macintosh is a personal computer if you want to know.There are three kinds of PCs Apple's macintosh, AMD and Intel.Best computer at the moment is Pentium 5 with a processor of 5Ghz, RAM memory of 4Gb, and graphycs card of 512 Mb.So answer is INTEL.Macintosh uses slower processors, but software for mac is easier and doesn't take more than a processor of 1.7 Ghz.Therefor my real answer is both.

Answer 5

it actually depends on what you are going to use your machine for. if you are using your machine for designing and some graphics stuff, go for mac. but bad thing abt mac is there are not many software in the market catered for mac although increasing. a PC is more commonly used and basically used for general purpose.

Answer 6
