What is better Mac or PC?

Answer 1

This question is best in the religious/spirituality category

Good luck getting a straight answer without the religious zealots :-)

Answer 2

I have a Mac, until about 1 1/2 years ago had PC.

I don't worry about viruses, I don't get the blue screen of death or resource problems. I sometimes have 10 or 15 browers screens running, MS word, and excel, a photography program, a lot of things on my dashboard and iTunes going and I have no performance issues.

I bought the low end one for about 1,000 (it is a notebook) with a 14" screen.

If I have a question, I can call Apple (I bought the extened warranty) and I get a nice English speaking person who will answer my questions, and I have never been on hold for more then 5 minutes.

The Mac came loaded with a ton of tools. I have found a few programs that don't run on my Mac, but there are usually other ones of similar function that work just as well in the same price range.

I worry less and less about compatibility because more and more people I know are going with the Mac. When I bought mine, I had one friend with a Mac and I was so impressed with their service, I decided to buy an Apple,
now I have a sister and at least 10 friends that have bought replaced their PCs with Mac.

Now I am not a gamer, so I don't care if the latest game is not out there for me on my Mac, but if you buy a Mac now, they are running an Intel chip and you can load Windows on it.

I don't know why people are complaining about Mac hardware being more expensive, I am using the same wireless setup, the same printer, scanner, digicam, flashdrives etc that I used for my Windows computer.

You can what you pay for and the Mac is really in the ballpark on price, unless you are looking for bargain basement due to money problems, Mac is the way to go.

PC Mag has been doing reviews of Macs and last year Time Magazine gave Apple desktop, notebook and server of the year. This year they also got gadget of the year (iPod).

Answer 3

The question you should be asking is which is better OS X or Windows XP / Vista. New Macs are virtually 100% the same hardware-wise as PCs. They use x86 Intel CPUs, Radeon GPUs and the like. There is no advantage whatsoever using a Mac for video or photos, as they use the same hardware architecture as PCs. This didn't used to be the case however, a year a so ago when they were using IBM's RISC processors there was evidence that Mac was superior in video editing, rendering, etc. I would take the "mac is better than PC at video/photos/etc" comments with a grain of salt, as they are using regular PC hardware under the slick OS X interface.

Answer 4

Mac and PC both have its advantages and disadvantages.
Mac is better in performance than PC but it is costly, its softwares are rare and they are also costly.

While PC is cheap and you may get the softwares for it easily. Performance is nice in PC but not like Mac.

So decide what you want to do. And check your requirements are fulfilled in which system (Mac or PC).

That's all I can say....

Answer 5

its a personal opinion BUT heres a fer tips

Mac are better in 3 categories.
1 Video editing
2 sound editing
3 ease of use (macs are a bit more user friendly for users starting out)

if your looking for gaming or good office productivity a pc is the way to go.

And with regards to spyware and viruses. as of now there are less viruses and spyware on the market for macs and they dont get infected very often as of now. HOWEVER i know for a fact that programmers are now making viri and spyware that attack macs. i've seen some of the programs myself so in the next year or so expect to see more mac infections

Answer 6

I like Macs because they are virtually virus-proof. I like PCs because most people have them and they are compatible with more software. As far as ease of use, I'd say they are equally easy to learn. I use a Mac where I work all day long, and then go home to my PC. No problems switching....

Answer 7

PC, beacuse Mac has a lock on there on Market. Generally Mac parts and software is more exspensive. You can have the same performance that you get out of a $4,000 Mac as you can out of a $1,500 Pc.

Answer 8

Mac performs better, but most people use PCs so it is better when it comes to compatibility.

Answer 9

It all depends what you plan to do.

In the native configuration, Macs are infinitely more stable than the PC (macs rarely crash!) they are also inherently more secure. It's very difficult to write a virus for mac, because the macOS won't allow any program to be loaded without your "permission" (log-on name and password.)

The new Macs all are capable of running WinXP. However, doing that opens your mac to the same hazards as any PC

Answer 10

Mac is better. PC is more popular and economical.

Answer 11

mac is better for media, like music, video, and different kind of art, but a pc is good for everything like data bases and **** like that, it depends on what you are doing with it.
