So are Macs really the best? Well when buying a PC the Microsoft office comes with the computer. When you buy the PC computers you get the “licence” for using Microsoft. When Macs were first designed and became public they were known to be used for pictures in the media and PC’s were just a computer. PC’ s can be used for just about anything. When Mac is being studied there is always one point that is brought up and that it that the Mac has a more stable system.
The computers that people buy are their own opinion. People buy computers that they want. Yes, the advertisements that people see on TV or however it does affect their decision. Most people who have a computer know what type of computer they like and know what they would buy in the future. Whoever buys a computer, it is their choice what type they buy.

Google Chrome
Google Chrome is one of the greatest browsers I’ve tried, its by far the fastest as almost any who have used it know. It is incredibly simple although its customizablity comes at a small price of confusion it isn’t enough to lower my appreciation of this browser. There is only one bad part that I have found about Chrome and I’ll adress that later, as well as the fact that google is taking over though off topic it is true.
Now Chrome is fast, very fast, it can load a web page several times faster than its explorer counterpart and about double the speed of Mozilla firefox. Surprisingly this program does work wonders on a slow computer, as it is so simple and there is so much less… toolbar. The program even features an “extension” called the Incognito window, which to my knowledge creates a window that is outside of the computer’s history and allows youth to view very wordly things, and all of this without anyone else knowing a thing. Go google?
As for my issue with the program it comes down to the ease of browser manipulation, such as setting ones homepage, or deleting the the cookies in the history. Google makes these things difficult when simplicty would have sufficed. Regardless overall it is a very good browser and I would recommend it as it is fast, it is reliable except for the fact that the flash player has a lust for crashing and must do so at least once a day or else it dosent feel man enough. The overall ease of use is unsurpassed and it makes surfing the internet a real joy.
ALSO. I want to talk about the google company itself, they are overtaking the internet, they have already overtaken youtube, they have created a very successful cell phone line, as well as have generated a very large fan base. Google is taking over as they know us, Google chrome is a masterpiece of internet browsing, simple and efficient, soon they will have youtube as well as the cellphone industry. They are the next juggarnaught of tech that microsoft and apple were before them and I believe google is certainly changing the way we all feel about life, through technology.
Google Chrome is a new internet browser. It seemes to be much faster and easyer on the eyes then any other browser I have used. I like the Tab system they have, and also I like how it is different then other web browsers. This web browser is very user friendly with no extra tool bars. I also like the spell check that they have on Google Chrome, it's much easier to blog then to have to open a word document and do it from there. Over all I think that this is a great web browser but I think Iwill stay with Safari.

Google Chrome!
Others opinion: I searched the web to see what information I could find on the new Google chrome web browser, and most of the comments were that people liked it, and had really good comments about it like they believe it is faster, safer, and simpler to run rather then internet explorer. Yes some people did say that they weren’t crazy over it, but everyone has different opinions and mine Google chrome all the way!

Personally I find Google chrome much better than the regular Google. Google chrome is a faster search engine. When you open a new tab it gives you your most recent/common used web pages. The tabs actually work on it.
Many people like that chrome is faster. It is designed to keep you safer. New incognito window. (Doesn’t show up in your history) Google chrome is much simpler than the regular Google. You do not have a bunch of toolbars at the top of your screen. History is easy to view. It will ask you if you want to save your password on everything. You can customize it with colors to fit your liking. It archives all of your downloads. If you right click anywhere on the page you can click inspect element and it wil tell you everything about that page.
A downfall on Google chrome is you cannot set a picture to your background from a internet site without saving it first.

Mac is a lot faster then pc for louding and downlouding things. It has a better design, ergonomics, internet surfing, and vidio. The PC has better digital photo management and it works better.
I think if you are going to get a mac it would be good for work and downloading things.
I think the PC is a lot better for people who wants to play games and put photos on there computer.
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.
I personally think that the Mac is better than the pc because the average start for the Mac is 28.7 seconds and the PC is 1 minute and 13 seconds. Some of the Pc’s can’t be customized and the Mac can be customized. The Mac is shipped within 24 hours and the Pc takes 2-3 days to leave the store. The average shut down for the Mac is 4.0 seconds, and the average shutdown for the PC is 44.3 seconds. Mac’s never get viruses and PC usually gets plenty of viruses.
Mac’s are good for graphics, video, and photography. The pc is better for other uses like communication. It really depends on what you like to do on the computer. I personally like to go on msn, facebook, and YouTube. I find that the Mac has a better sound system. There is more software on the PC compared to the Mac. I like the Mac’s for sound, and I like PC because I enjoy msn. I personally think they would be the same but the prices are a big difference, people think the Mac is pricy.
