Mac vs. PC - 4 Reasons Why You Should by a PC!



The age old debate still rages, Mac or PC? While many of us are definitely in one camp or the other, as witnessed whenever a Mac and a PC guy/girl get together there is sure to be a debate or even an argument. We have tested, played with, and worked on, many Mac's and PC's in our quest to end the debate once and for all. We have come to the conclusion that both sides have some valid and interesting points but ultimately it comes down to personal tastes, preferences, and purchasing power. Even in our camp of testers we are split, so this first article will list four reasons why you should by a PC. My esteemed colleague will list four reasons why you should by a Mac in the next article. Below is my list of reasons:

4. Hardware - because Mac's or only made by Apple there is really only seven or eight choices of models, so choice is limited. Whereas with PC's there are really hundreds of choices. Anything from the cheap, inexpensive to the Rolls Royce. Many different brands like HP, Dell, Sony, and Toshiba really put this category in favor of the PC.

3. Performance - Although the start up for Mac seems to be much faster than a PC, again this category must go to the PC. The reason is again the PC's diversity of choices. A top of the line desktop or laptop PC will surely out perform its top of the line Mac counter parts like the MacBook Pro or iMac. The many reason is that there are many more companies putting out products for PC's, Mac just can;t stay up.

2. Accessories - I know, I know you are tired of hearing it but this category, again, goes to the PC. In this case quantity is the king. The PC's have many more accessories made specifically for them. It is true that the majority mice, monitors, keyboards, and connectors work for both Mac and PC many more are made specifically for the PC.

1. Price - All I can say here is DUH, not even close! Mac's are much more expensive, in most cases double, compared to their PC counterparts. Again this category is affected by the number of companies that produce PC's, hundreds, compared to Apple and Apple only producing its computers.

For your information I own both a Mac (MacBook ProMacBook Pro Image

) and both have great qualities but for me the price is the kicker of all of the categories and Mac prices aren't even in the ballpark.
