Mac or PC? (this is your opinion)?

Question

Just pick the one that you prefer PC or Mac?

Answer 1

It depends.



For netbooks, PC, because Apple doesn't make one (the MacBook Air doesn't count as a netbook). I'm not a huge fan of netbooks anyway, though. If it comes with Windows, though, I immediately ditch it and put Xubuntu on it, or OSx86 if it'll work with the hardware.



For laptops, Mac, hands down. I've had a MacBook Pro for almost 3 years and Apple is absolutely the best laptop manufacturer our there in my opinion, and no OS comes close to all the features OS X has.



For mid-range dekstops, PC again. I build my own, though, and dual-boot Ubuntu and OSx86. I've never seen a pre-built desktop PC that even came close to being exactly what I wanted.



For uber-powerful PCs, 8-core Nehalem Mac Pro w/ 8 GB of RAM. I'd probably have Linux installed on it through Parallels Desktop or VirtualBox, though.



If you're asking about OS X vs. Windows, though, there's no contest in my mind. OS X is faster, lighter, more stable, has fewer bugs and security holes, is easier to use, is less bloated, and doesn't demand the latest hardware just to run. If you want proof, compare Leopard running on an 867 MHz G4 w/ 512 MB of RAM to Vista running on a 1.6 GHz Pentium 4 w/ 512 MB of RAM. I guarantee you Leopard will smoke Vista in any test you throw at it, even with the Pentium running almost twice as fast as the G4. You actually wouldn't even be able to install any version of Vista except Home Basic since every other version needs at least 1 GB of RAM.

Answer 2

Mac probably will be better at protecting your computer since there are very few virus that will actually infect mac, also mac doesn't break down as easily



with pc is more user friendly

most of the programs are designed for pc, which is a lot more common than mac

Answer 3

If I had an option to apply a Mac -- or perhaps Linux -- I actually could. the difficulty with Macs, so a ways as I understand, is the very nearly comprehensive loss of engineering softwares. while I run 3-D CAD and analysis purposes linked with mechanical layout on homestead windows systems, i could be thoroughly out interior the chilly if I in basic terms had Macs. that's no longer Apple's fault, in line with se, yet without plenty added progression for or porting to the Mac OSes, Macs would be relegated to "low-end" computing (no offense meant -- i'm evaluating to engineering and medical purposes).

Answer 4

Depends on what I'm doing. Video or graphics, then I'd be using a Mac. Programming, spreadsheets, or general use, and I'm on a PC.

Answer 5

Mac has an easier user interface. Try doing something remotely complicated and mac definitely has an easier user interface.

Answer 6

I would choose Ubuntu Linux.



Otherwise I choose PC, I do not like Macs as they want you use vendor-locking hardware and devices.
