Mac vs. PC

The Mac… versus the PC. These two types of computer have been butting antlers for a while now, and divide technology lovers in two. In this world, it can never be both. Its either all for one, or the other. People seem to think that have to fully support only one. I however do not agree with this, because both the Mac and the PC have excellent qualities.

Starting off with the Mac, the cosmetics of this machine have always maintained a pristine and modern-looking exterior (This alone usually wins over the under educated buyer). As far the interior of the computer goes, (components monitor...Etc) it is very compact and efficient looking. However, this makes it much more difficult for a technician to repair thus resulting in disposing of the computer and replacing it. Also, when exploring Mac's operating system, it seems very basic and easy to use for the general public, and because it is a newer variation on the computer, there are fewer viruses made for it. Almost any computer technician will tell you that Mac is the way to go if you are a first time buyer because they are easy to maintain and operate.

Personally, the PC is my favorite for many reasons. Unlike the Mac, the PC and much more susceptible to many different viruses, meaning an anti virus must be updated daily for proper protection. The PC would most likely be found in the homes of experienced technicians, gamers, hobbyists, and anti-Mac users. The reason why technicians love the PC so much is because you are more able disassemble, and customize it with different components. In my opinion, the PC is more for fun to use because the controls and visuals for PC gaming is much more advanced than Mac's gaming controls.

Giving a situation, if i were helping someone buy their first computer, I would probably head them in the Mac direction because they are much more organized-looking, less susceptible to viruses, and more and more businesses are switching to Mac. Despite this, I will always be a PC user because I like to take them apart.
