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.”
