Is the Mac better than the PC? This question can be looked from various angles such as stability, expansion, performance, price, ease of use and total cost of ownership. To understand this question, you must realize the basic difference between PC’s and Mac’s. Mac functions on their own operating system, whereas the personal computer or the PC runs on Microsoft Windows operating system. Mac excels at video production, graphic design and even audio work. PC’s are designed with one thing in mind – business apps. They can also run any program that Mac can run, and also has the processing power to operate all intensive business applications

Design versus function is the question you must ask yourself when trying to determine whether Mac is better than PC. If your main concern is for the artistic line of work, you can go for a Mac. Whereas, if you want computers that can do all you want, you are best off with a personal computer. They are easy to repair and have install base of over 10 times compared to a Mac. The debate whether Mac is better than PC or not will continue for ever. Just see what you can afford, try out both Mac and PC at a store, see which fulfills all your purposes, and then buy whichever suits you best.

We have heard the saying that Apple Mac computers are better than the standard PC. Is this really the case. We believe that is specifically depends on what exactly you want to do with your computer. If you are into games like me my favorite being abstract games like these:

then you would love an Apple Macintosh Computer. However if you are more into software and internet browsing many people just say that the PC is better. Today we are going to run a specific 4 question poll that goes to the heart of the debate about the two. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be more people that own PC’s than those who own a MAC Laptop or computer, but we will see if people have actually used a MAC and have found it to be a better computer overall.

If you need some help deciding take a look on a couple of the videos below, they are served up by Google based on relevance to the Poll.

Macs vs. pcs are usually a very hot topic. Undoubtedly Apple Macintosh Computers are less popular than regular Pac’s such as a popular Dell brand and with companies such as Tiger Direct you can actually get a PC or Mac computer for less than ½ the price you would get it for on the open market. But the way to compare both the Mac and PC is actually the uses for each. A quick examination of things such as hardware capabilities and software capabilities can quickly determine how useful the Macintosh versus the Pc is. But that’s not all in today’s day and age, price is a big determinant in choosing the type of computer you will get. For the purpose of this comparison we will look on the most popular laptops for both the Dell and the Macintosh. This is the Mac Book Pro 17 and the Dell Vostro 1500 which is the business version to the Dell Inspiron 1520.
TRY ONE OF THESE BRANDS

Price: The Macbook Pro 17 is by far much more expensive than the Dell Vostro 1500, in fact on average retail the Mac sells for almost 4 times what the Dell Pc sells for. Though it is common knowledge that MACINTOSH computers are general more expensive because of robust hardware features such as a built in webcam and other features, however you can upgrade your pc to carry out these features as well.

Hardware: Next we examine both macs vs. pcs laptops head to head on hardware. This is based on the specs that most people request for the Dell Vostro when they order online:

DELL VOSTRO 1500

Intel Core 2 Duo T5470 (1.6Ghz) - 1GB 677Mhz DDR2 SDRAM - 120G 5400RPM Hard Drive - InVidia GeForce 8600M GT, 256MB - 8x DVD Burner with Double Layer capability - 15.4” widescreen anti-glare screen (1280×800) - Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Internal (2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate) - Dell Wireless 1505 Mini-Card (Pre-802.11n) - 85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

MACBOOK PRO 17 INCH

2.4-GHz Core 2 Duo processor - 2GB of RAM (upgradeable to 4GB) - 256MB Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT video - 160GB 5,400-rpm SATA hard drive - 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) - Gigabit Ethernet port - 54Mbit/sec. a/b/g/Draft n Wi-Fi - Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, - ExpressCard/34 card slot - Three USB ports - One FireWire 800 port - One FireWire 400 port - DVI port - Built-in iSight video camera

As you can clearly see that the Macbook has more hardware capabilities. However if the same capabilities are placed in a pcs the pc wopuld be much more expensive.

Software: The OS X versus Windows Vista is another talking point on the Mac versus the Pc. The Pc can use Windows or Linux. The Mac OS X provides a wide range of services and is fully compatible with Windows and can ever run simultaneously with Microsoft Office. However the OS X versus the Vista is an entirely different debate. For the most part though the Vista has much more capabilities, it is clunky with a lot of kinks, barely workable without numerous patches and has limited support. The OS X on the other hand tried and tested and will support any program and in our opinion is the best. We have decided that dollar for dollar you get the best value for your money when you buy a Mac Laptop.
