the main difference between an apple and mac is usually the OS a pc usually will use windows whereas a mac will use apple's own OS (these days its called its newer versions OSX). A pc is more flexible as it allows you to use a lot of open source software,freeware and different OSes in dual boot mode(where you can load 2 different OSes in the same computer). Mostly (im not very sure about this) a pc can be either branded or assembled whereas i think mac systems only come assembled from apple. Also the earlier macs were based on the powerpc series from IBM but now the latest ones come intel based. whereas a pc can use any sort of processor.in conc. the best system at this time(for an average user) would be a pc basically cuz of the flexability involved as its easier to find software compatible with Linuz/Windows than mac

nothing really, both pcs have a cd rom and floppy drive, they also have usb and firewire attachment and they both connect to the internet using either wired or wireless system, its just the applications that they use
