Which one's better? Sony or Mac?

Answer 1

The benefits of Mac:

No viruses, or any other malware for that fact. (This is due to Mac OS X's UNIX underpinnings, not "lack of users" or "low market share.")

Seamless integration. Your hardware will work perfectly with your software, because both are designed by Apple.

You will enjoy many advanced features that are not available in Windows, even Vista. Features like Exposé, Spotlight Search, a built-in dictionary that can be invoked in any application with a simple keystroke, easy to build scripting using Automator, zero-configuration networking, system wide spell checking and many more.

Macs can dual-boot with Windows or run Windows within Mac OS X itself. With BootCamp, you can dual-boot with Windows and run any PC application, even high-end games.

Excellent support and customer service. Apple is well known for it's support. I had a wonderful experience with Apple when the logic board in my Mac mini went bad. (This was due to a power issue in my home, not the Mac.)

Great software. Most of the software made for the Mac is better than similar software for Windows. Crap doesn't survive on the Mac market. iLife is absolutely amazing. Mac OS X is compatible with many file formats, right out of the box. As I mentioned before, you can run Windows applications. With a Mac, you can have it both ways.

Beautiful hardware. Quality hardware. Apple puts the sex in tech. Apple hardware is always beautiful, as well as functional. Apple has extremely talented engineers. One look at an iMac will tell you that much. The hardware is of excellent quality and built to last. Macs are well known to have a longer life span than PCs.

Upgrades? Who needs them. A seven year old iMac can still run the latest release of Mac OS X. Sure, you can add more RAM or get a bigger hard drive, but your Mac will run beautifully for years to come. When a new version of Mac OS X is released, you won't need to scramble to purchase upgrades in order to run it. (Leave that to the Vista adopters.)

Crashing. It doesn't happen. I'm not saying Mac OS X is absolutely perfect, but it's damn close. Most problems are easily fixed within minutes. Macs don't require the constant maintenance needed by PCs.

Value. When all of these things add up, you'll actually be saving money, as well as time, in the long run. You'll find yourself actually doing more on a Mac. Things you never thought of doing on a PC.

22 million Mac users can't be wrong. We love our Macs, and for good reason. You won't find a Mac user "switching" to a PC, at least not willingly. We're a loyal crowd. Not nuts, just loyal.

You will love a Mac, trust me. Don't waste any more time on a PC. I'm glad I switched.

Answer 2

You are comparing two parts of this equation.

First OS X (mac operating system) vs Windows (installed on the Sony)

The OS X comes loaded with many programs that you will want to use. Ever notice how when you buy a new computer it is installed with a load of software, but none of it is really helpful? That wont happen on the mac. You can create music using Garage band, create movies with iMovie, organize your photos with iPhoto, and even create your own web site in a click with iWeb.

Now on the other hand you may find some small programs you used on your pc dont have mac versions.

Then you need to compare the specs of the Apple vs the Sony machine.

Every Mac comes with a web cam and microphone built in, making it simply to begin video chatting and conferencing. Also the magnetic tips on the power cords for the laptops save you from tripping and destroying your new computer. Make sure when you are comparing prices you are looking at the equivelante specs. Sony may offer cheaper computers, but do they have the same features the mac offers?

I was amazed during a road trip when one of my co-workers turned his mac on and with in a few clicks had jumped on the wi-fi network and was video chatting with his kids and wife back home. Really put all of our computers to shame.

Answer 3

Another advantage to a Mac is that Apple designs the hardware AND the software so that they work together without problems.

It's also worth noting that the newest Macs can run Windows natively, so it's really two (more if you want to run Linux as well) computers in one.

Also keep in mind that Apple is known for their customer support. If you ever have problems with your machine, great customer support makes the experience a little more bearable.

Answer 4

Sony is much much better than Mac as sony gets moe familiar with the softwares and moreover sony has got a great sound quality and highly admirable Visuals its video is extremely good nd its sound quality is purely digital and dolby.
Sony offers quity a large variety of configurations and also in variable prices, sony works much better with the newly developed operating systems.

Answer 5

This isn't really a valid comparison. Apple Macinitoshe computers work with a very different operating system (OSX) to Sony which comes with a version of Windows. So which operating system do you want is the first question.

Answer 6

Both Equilly good, I would chose Sony though :D.
