which company is better apple inc. or dell?

Answer 1

Apple computers use the MAC operating system. Dell uses Microsoft Windows. You are pretty much entering the old Apple vs IBM debate.

I have used Microsoft PCs all my life. They have their faults, such as being more prone to viruses, you have to rely on the Microsoft components and every so often you get the "blue screen of death" as your PC crashes dues to some incompatibility issue.

Apple computers are much more stable, but they are less prone to viruses because they have a smaller market share (about 5-10% of the PC market). The hacker mentality is that if you are going to write a virus, you do it so it will affect the most PCs. The other issue is that there is considerably less software available in MAC O/S than in the Microsoft world, and what software there is tends to be a bit more expensive.

That being said, I think that the Apple computers are better if you want a reliable PC and are worried about the spyware, viruses and such out there.

So the big question I always ask is what do you want to use the PC for? Find the software that you want to use first, then decide what PC to get based on that software.

As for Dell Computers specifically, I like them and I am typing on an Optiplex model right now. But you are paying for the name and the convenience that they offer. They give you a CD to fix all problems, the firmware on the system is designed for easy maintenance, and you let them do all the work putting it together. I only have two issues with them:

1) If you want to make any changes on them, you pay through the nose. I bought extra memory for my PC at Kingston Technology because Dell wanted three times what I paid, and wanted to charge me shipping on top of that.

2) I bought my father a Dell and it had problems. We had the technician onsite four or more times to fix a crashing issue that turned out to be faulty memory. He changed the motherboard, hard disk, video card, and memory before finally figuring out the problem. And we had issues with getting the RIGHT memory because the PC I bought came from USA but was shipped to Canada...The Canadian memory chips apparently don't use the same Dell part number and they got all confused.
