New article sold at Daily Article: Pc vs Mac

PC or Mac?
　
You need to buy a computer, so what do you buy? You’re not a expert so where do you turn? Some people swear by Mac’s and other people won’t touch them with a 20 foot pole!

Is that attitude just fear of change or brand loyalty or is it rooted deeper in user experience or rumor?

Salespeople who you might talk to will surely recommend what they sell, not because they honestly feel that their product is truly superior, but because they want to close the deal!
Frankly, both Pc’s and Mac’s are mostly quality products but I believe that they both have slightly different focuses in terms of the types of targeted purchasers they cater to.

I’ll start with the Pc first. The most dramatic difference in a Pc vs. Mac is the price! Pc’s are very affordable and easy to buy for the masses, I.E. college students, teens, my space junkies, Ect.
They are so much easier to maintain and software prices are much cheaper.

Mac’s are sleeker and look better then most Pc’s and that attracts many people to the Mac’s. People associate design with innovativeness, and that is surely a wise marketing strategy.

Mac’s are somewhat targeted to the professional computer user such as, web designer, graphics pro’s and other guru’s of technology, who swear by the Mac and claim using a Mac increases their productivity.

One of the biggest gripes I hear from Mac users that causes no end of frustration is the excess of interface clutter, and an even more prominent complaint, no wail! Is that Mac’s lack a true maximize button which makes it inconvenient to view pages full screen.

If Apple would add a way for users to maximize windows, one of the major complaints against Mac would be obliterated and I believe sales would soar.

So, if you are easily distracted and like to completely fill the screen with a single window to stay focused, then a Pc is a better fit.

What are major advantages of buying a Mac? Mac’s are designed for high security purposes in mind. They are not constantly being attacked by viruses, spy ware, and adware like a Pc.

That may partially explained the price difference, the old saying “you get what you pay for” comes to mind.

Also Apple excels when it comes to toys and all that popular music downloading that goes on over the worldwide web and is so essential to the younger generation.

Mac’s are more reliable and do not crash nearly as often as a Pc. I believe mostly due to less interference from hackers and malicious programs.

Several things disturb me about Mac’s however, one is the fact that they are so eagerly converting to Pc processors and adapting most other Pc ideas.

Does that say they concede that Pc technology is superior? A claim that they have so vehemently denied.

Or is it an attempt by Apple to try to bring the cost down and revenues up by using Pc programs and converting Mac’s to be able to use windows based programs on a Mac.

Another thing that worries me is that Apple has changed it’s hardware systems 53 times as opposed to under 15 times for Pc. Does that indicate engineering problems? Or perhaps over-engineering?

If you ask a 1000 people, you will probably get a 1000 different answers but the bottom line, Pc’s are more sensible economically for the common everyday user at this time being cheaper to buy, and maintain.

Mac’s are perhaps a good fit for professionals that can justify the added expense and need for better security.

A popular saying in the computer world is “I like Mac, but I use Pc.”
　
　
　
　
　

I'm dabbling in buying and selling wholesale merchandise to sell on the weekends but I'm still writing articles for Suite 101. I've kinda lost some of my faith in Helium.com because I feel they spend too much time kissing the ass of prospective magazine publishers and not enough time helping writers get things like a by-line.

I've written lots of historical profiles lately including serial killers, depression era gangsters, cowboys, ect. Brainstorming for some interesting idea's for the future. Still plugging along and expecting one of my articles on Edgar Rice Burroughs to be published soon by LaRue Press in a book called "History Of" very soon.

Perseverance

The only sure way to succeed in any profession is to refuse to quit. Only the strong survive when the odds are against you, nobody encourages you, and all you seem to do is for naught. You climb a mountain one pull of the rope at a time and sometimes you slip and loose ground, but the dedicated climber starts pulling again and regains the ground he has lost and reaches for the plateau above.

Writing is a discouraging kind of madness, but one I cannot put aside. The success rate of aspiring writers is about as low as imaginable. Yet nothing I've ever done in my life gives me as much satisfaction as seeing my words in print for others to see, comment on, even disagree with!

Such is the life of a "Wordsmith." It's not a glamorous life, not yet anyhow, but it's my life and I enjoy creating articles and stories and constantly trying to improve my craft. Anyone can slop ink on a page and call themselves a "Muse" but cream rises to the top for a reason and you can learn the skills of a writer, but some people are just born with the ability to inspire and inform and entertain and I consider myself one of these lucky few!
