Macs Vs PCs

Asking a bunch of school heads if they like a mackintosh or laptop is like asking a bunch of latest Yorkers if they just like the Yankees or Mets: You’ll get loud, aroused arguments. I had this “discussion” with my father, a retired diversion professional and skilled word twister. contestation with him is like attempting to penetrate a brick wall with a strip. He’s smart, patient, and admittedly enjoys twisting my words till it seems like I’m contradicting myself. He additionally loves PCs. I, on the opposite hand, love Macs. as luck would have it during this specific argument I had the favorable position. Knowing I’m a school geek, he usually involves American state for school support. this could sound immature, however I relish these moments as a result of my answer to each one amongst his queries is that the same: “Dad, get a Mac”.

Non-mac users want support

After years of this he finally united (caved in) and acquired a mackintosh portable computer. His one condition was I had to show him a way to use it. once months of teaching him, I finally realised that Macs and PCs are simply 2 completely different ways to identical destination. whereas the user expertise is extremely completely different, the aptitude of either machine is basically identical. It’s like BBQing ribs. a lot of completely different strategies, however all of them end in BBQ’d ribs. Setting aside my personal passion for Macs, let’s explore the $64000 variations between the machines.

Ribs Vs Ribs

BEST school SUPPORT

With Macs, each the pc and also the OS are created by identical company: Apple. That’s not the case with PCs; the OS comes from Microsoft, however unless you’re shopping for a Microsoft Surface, anyone of dozens of corporations would possibly build the pc hardware. once your laptop goes haywire (and it will), a mackintosh owner will move to the Apple Store and obtain school support. A laptop owner might need to form one decision to the pc manufacturer who can probably say it’s a tangle with the OS. Then they decision Microsoft solely to listen to it’s drawback with the pc. Ugh.

Winner: mackintosh

MOST in style

When it involves quality, don’t let the mackintosh Mob fool you. PCs compose over ninety % of all computers in use and dominate the business world. Macs account for fewer than ten % of computers in use and are most well-liked in artistic fields. Since PCs are a lot of rife, there's a bigger demand for laptop programs, peripherals and hardware than for Macs.

Winner: PC

COST

This is a deal breaker for folks considering shift from a laptop to mackintosh. Macs are simply plain pricey. Macs are solely created by Apple. they need no competition within the mackintosh market, in order that they will set their own value. With PCs, dozens of corporations contend for your business. This makes the value of PCs terribly low, that attracts customers.

Winner: PC

EASE OF USE

This is terribly subjective and the majority laptop users can fight American state on this one, however Macs are a lot of intuitive. Since Apple makes each the pc and OS, there's a fluid association and easy use. My adult female says she sort of a mackintosh as a result of it’s knightly and treats her sort of a girl. It’s easy, intuitive and holds her hand through most functions. (I will already hear the arguments. BRING. IT. ON!)

[You asked--nay, demanded, all told CAPS--so i will bring it on, Jonathan. "Intuitive" does not extremely mean a lot of in computers, as a result of laptop interfaces should be learned from scratch. they can not extremely be intuitive; that is simply a term folks toss around. i might say that generally, Macs and PCs are regarding equally simple to be told. It simply depends upon that one you begin with. And below the Mac's apparently friendly veneer, they are even as complicated as Windows for several tasks. -ed.]

Winner: mackintosh

So far it’s a tie. 2 for every team. currently for the overtime – it’s a doozy.

It comes all the way down to one word: Security

Quite merely, Macs are safer. I’d like to say it's one thing to try to to with however well created they're, however the solution is far easier. Since PCs compose ninety % of the pc population and are a lot of rife in massive firms, a laptop virus will have a much bigger negative impact and therefore is a lot of enticing to hackers. though not proof against virus attacks, Macs are typically thought-about safer and safer just because hackers don’t hassle going once such low target.

Big Fish Vs very little mackintosh fish

Getting back to my argument with my father, the protection issue sealed the deal. He’s a true old-fashioned martinet for security and privacy. I couldn’t facilitate however chuckle after I overheard his ally arouse some laptop recommendation. Before I might jump in, my father same, “Get a Mac”.

I’d like to provide Apple the credit for my success, however this was quite simply mackintosh Vs. PC. This was another chapter within the epic verbal jousting of Father Vs. Son. I’ll provide Apple the assist, however I’ll take the win.
