What can a pc do,my Mac cant??

Question

so i switched to macs before 8days..and i find it perfect..
what does pc do that mac cant do in your opinion>?!

Macs let you play ANY game you want by installing ''bootcamp'' it lets you install windows too..so you can use windows and os x the same time..i was playing Buttlefield 2 the whole night...buy any ''PC'' game and it works perfectly....macs are VERY safe no viruses at all and no need for antivirus.

Mac os x is the BEST OS out there to do video,audio,graphics design and editing..and its VERY simple to use...its not that expensive..and remember that you pay for the awesome OS.

Answer 1

Ряїťћŝ said crash.
Your wrong, Mac's crash as well.

What can a pc do,my Mac cant?

Media Center for interactive TV.
Universal Voice Command that has user recognition, artificial intelligence to learn from mistakes and make assumptions, and can control any application whether it's by Microsoft or not.
More compatibility, obviously.

The fact that some here mention a Intel based Mac can run Windows but degrade it shows how hypocrite you are, your Mac toys cant survive on their own.

Answer 2

Actually, you can now boot an Intel based mac into legitimate windows, so I'm not sure there's anything that a mac can't do that a win machine can. If you have an Intel based mac, I would say you have the best of both worlds.

There are a lot of uninformed PCers making comments here, I notice. Wireless on an old mac is hard? Really? Maybe on the ones that were built before wireless networks, which would be no different than a PC. Walking into a store and buying "any part" for a PC and plugging it in and working without downloading specific drivers? Really? Seems to me PCs have been notorious for NOT being able to easily configure many things, and the conflicts between third party vendors/parts/drivers is bewildering at times.

Both have their place, and if I were going to run ONLY software that ran on PCs, I would probably choose a PC just so I didn't have to buy Windows and load it on my mac, but to answer the question, there is microscopically little, these days, that a PC can do that a mac cannot.... and I would pose that it is not reciprocal... as there are things that macs do very easily and well, where the PC counterpart is often more difficult.

Answer 3

Depends on what you are going to use it for. If you plan to use it for business or school, I strongly suggest that you get yourself a PC. Although Macs are great computers, the fact is the majority of the world uses PCs. The reason that I mention this is because Macs just are not compatible with many PC softwares. Microsoft Office is a great example of this. Macs run on an older version of Microsoft Office so there are compatibility issues between programs like the current PowerPoint files running on Macs. There are virtual desktops available for Mac that allow you to run Windows and OSX on the same computer but you will lose performance. Not only that but you will have to go out and purchase Windows. Gaming is also another issue. Hands down, PCs are best for gaming. Same reason, compatibility. Also, developers just do not program games with the Mac format in mind. If all you want to do is browse the net and view movies and photos, then Mac is great for that. You will have far less security issues with Macs and viruses are nearly non-existent with them. Always keep in mind though, you can buy a much better performing PC for the same price as an average performing Mac. PCs are also very customizable leaving you ample room to upgrade.

Answer 4

Run most of the worlds leading PC games, such as famous RTS's like Age of Empires, and Battle For Middle Earth.

Most programs on the web are made for windows, so a PC can do more in variety.

However MAC is generally more stable than Windows.

Answer 5

The PC can run many, many programs a Mac can't. The Mac can emulate the PC, but it runs slower than if it was running the O/S on a real PC. If you're a person who loves making things and the occassional game, keep with Mac. More and more publishers are porting PC games to the Mac. If you're a gamer and don't make much, get a PC. I've used both, and PC just seems easier for me. You have to be on your toes with a Mac, or else it'll clutter up a lot easier than a PC does.

Answer 6

I'm still looking for an intelligent, informed Pro-PC answer. Doesn't seem to be any.

A Mac can run Mac OS, Windows, Linux and Unix. NATIVELY. Not emulated. You can boot straight into all of the above if you need to.

Now tell me what software is not able to run on a Mac available to the consumer?

Answer 7

Mac is a simple computer, unlike PCs. This makes mac's a much more easy to use computer (for people not into programing, or not computer savvy, and no that's not an insult) This is the only major advantage over mac's, that and if your a gamer, most games are only for PC. Other that that, most programs are made for both computers.

Answer 8

Run all my mortgage and commercial lending software, as well as the integrated software I need to use to approve loans.

But a Mac can make a pretty video if I need it, but I really need to do peoples mortgages and business's commercial loans. I have a Mac and PC. I use my Mac for play. But I could never use it for work, or for games when I play them.

Basically run a business and have interchangeable parts and systems without buying a brand new computer every six months.

Answer 9

- play FUN games.
- walk into any random electronics store and buy any random accessory and have it work just by installing the CD instead of having to search for speciall 3rd party mac drivers. try adding wireless capabilities to an older mac, Good Luck!. youll have to do something like this: hunt through the internet for specific chipsets of Wifi cards that people have made work on Mac. then hunt more, because you need a USB one, not a PCI one. then go store to store, hunting for a WIfi card with that specific chipset. buy it, istall it, then go hunting the website for drivers. just to get WiFi on a couple year old machine that didnt have airport.
- the ability to have an actual desktop without having to spend $2500. the Mac Mini and iMac are nice for some people, but for others who like add ons, big hard drives, upgrading, you need somethign that only the Mac Pro offers, and theres no reason to spend $2500 for the average person.
- you want a thin and light laptop. there are no ultraportable Mac laptops.

i could go on, but this argument is getting old.

Answer 10

i see it the other way - my Mac can do anything i care about.
i have had Macs since 1987 - across all those years and different machines, i have experienced ONE crash, and never lost any data. I can't count the crashes and data losses i have had at work when i used Windows, and, even earlier, DOS.
