PC vs. Mac- Morton Ingersoll
For many years, people have shared their uneducated opinions about the Mac vs. PC with others to try and keep the PC flame strong. It is now time to get an educated opinion on the Mac vs. PC opinions. From the Articles I have read/ listened to, there have been many points made about each platform.
People often rant about how expensive Macs are. There is a reason for this: Quantity and Quality. If you took all the best things about the PC platform and added them all in one operating system that was equivalent to a Mac, then you would see that there is no difference in price. I used to be one of the people that always ranted about the Mac because they were so “weird”. This has now changed by reading up on the specs of the Mac. Yes, the Mac’s operating system is a bit different than the one offered on the PC, but with the Max OS X system, you can have a “windows-looking” operating screen.
PCs have been the peoples’ choice for many years, and still remains to be. The PC has always had a simple operating system to “lure” people into buying a PC. I am still a PC user, and I don’t really have any complaints, but I do feel now that there is more upgrades for the Mac, causing me to sway towards the “Mac side”. Since the majority of the human race use PCs, there are hackers and virus makers out there making viruses and hacking networks for money. They say that Mac’s cannot get viruses but, I believe when the day comes that the majority starts using Macs that there will be someone out there that will make a Mac virus.
In conclusion, I am still a PC user, I still like the PCs operating system, but I do feel that I will be a Mac user when I’m off to college.

  1. I liked how you talked about the prices of Mac everyone is always saying how much they cost, so its nice to see what you are getting for the money you are spending. Great job!

  2. Morton, I totally agree with your posting. I liked how you talked about the cost of a mac computer, I also liked how at the end you said that you were still a PC user even though you were rooting for mac. Awesome job! :)

  3. Morton I agree for the most part except I find that if you get a Mac and a pc side by side so that they both have the same specification run at the same speed and are the same in everyway possible the pc actually ends up slightly more expensive because of the programs being more expensive. Other then that small thing (which is not wrong but just could have been described better) I totally agree. I find myself using pc's more but I think that if I was going to buy a computer it would be a new Mac book pro. They just appeal to me more.

  4. Morton, I agree that people who are uneducated should not be the person to give advice rather than an educated person. Macs are for money like you said and there are reason for it too, like you stated in your posting. In your conclusion you stated that you are a PC user, which is good to show people that not everyone is a Mac user. Great posting Morton.
