Even with today's new and exiting forms of technology the computer is still an awesome tool. Recently my computer has been getting very faulty and I think it might be time for a new one. But the old battle comes up again, which is better a PC or a Mac? To try and find this out I google searched comparison chart Mac vs. PC and found a good website devoted to comparison charts. So now I can find out once and for all which computer manufacture is the best.
The first thing I look for in a computer is reliability. I would like to how how good they are against virus attacks. It turns out that Mac have less viruses written to target them because they are less popular, PCs get most viruses written towards them because they are the desktop of choice. Next comes the brand, the Mac is only made by apple hence the name where as the PC is made by many companies like HP, Toshiba, and Dell. That is nice to be able to pick and chose a Manufacture that works for you instead of being stuck with one. The software of a computer can also be a big deal I prefer Windows because I have used it all my life. The Mac runs off of the Macintosh Operating System but you can also have windows. The PC runs off versions of Windows and a partnering software called Linux. They are both the same there. So far they are tied but we will keep going on this journey to find out which computer brand is top!
The next thing to look for is the functions. First of all what programs are available I want to be able to access the Internet obviously and be able to get music and some sort of movie maker. The Mac has iLife, iTunes, Time Machine, and Safari browser. The PC has MS Office and Internet Explorer. I know that if they both get Windows they should get Windows movie maker so they are both about equal in that. I also need to know how compatible it is. The Mac can open some PC files. A program can be installed to to convert Mac files to Windows. Thus I would say that probably PC is on top at the moment but they are still mostly equal in this epic battle for supremacy!
Last of all is the people part of these computers. What jobs is it good for? Well The Mac is geared toward graphic designers, video producers, tech journalists, app developers ect. I don’t do any of those things so it would not be much use to me. On the over hand the PC reaches a very wide range of users including business men due to it’s compatibility. I would also like to know how much it costs seeing as I am only 14 and don’t have very much money to spend. It turns out that PCs are 40% to 50% cheaper than a Mac. This is a great selling point. Now it is time for me to make my final choice!
I ended up choosing the PC. I can live without the better virus protection and the great art programs of a Mac. The reasons I chose the PC was that it had a much better price, a better market reach, and software I am used to using. Also I did enjoy my old PC computer. So that is my choice in the battle between the PC and Mac computers. It does not mean I am right and I am sure a lot of people will disagree with me, but the stats don’t lie.
