Mac Vs P.C.

Mac Vs P.C.

There are many different computers on the market today, PC (Personal computer) being in the lead, and Mac, by Apple, which is a much younger company. There is great competition between the two. Mac has been growing in size over the past years with their witty television commercials and the support of their family of IPod mp3 players’ success. PC already has the upper hand on the computer with the help from windows and the overall easy-to-use and upgradeable hardware which causes Mac and PC users alike to question which one is better, Mac or PC? Someone who uses a Mac as their personal computer is more satisfied with their computer purchase because Mac is a better choice than a PC.

The PC has many different brands, sizes, and upgrades of laptops ranging from very basic to very superior which also range from cheap to expensive. While Mac likes to stick to the same, yet sleek and stylish design and shape, with only few sizes and upgrades available and as well as basic price points for there laptops. Both have grate advantages for different types of medias. PC is better for computer activities such as Web design and programming while Mac is better for digital arts such as music, photography, and video (David).

Many people believe that the PC is better buy because of the cost. What they do not realize is all the software and hardware that must be bought separately or upgraded with the initial purchase which, depending on what the user wants to do with the computer, can get pretty pricey. PC comes with the basic operating systems of being about to surf the web and write papers which can be enough for some less computer-savvy people but if there is something else a user wants to be able to do with their PC then the user will have to purchase that item, while many of those programs or accessories can be found already installed in a Mac. The soon to be released Mac will come with many extra programs like video, photo, and audio editing programs at no extra cost; the user would have to buy these programs separately for the PC (Martin).

When compared head to head the Mac book and the Dell M1330 (PC) with the same specks and comparable software, the two are relatively equal in price. Both with 2GB of memory, a 160GB hard drive running at 5400 rpm, a 2.4-GHz Intel Core Duo 2 processor, Intel integrated graphics media accelerator (X3100), and Bluetooth 2.0. To compare too the battery standard for Mac the Dell battery needed to be upgraded. Also, adding the ninety-nine dollar Adobe software for them to be as equal as possible, The MacBook ships with Apple's iPhoto and iMovie applications, part of its iLife suite, at no extra cost. Mac has the slight upper hand at being nine dollars cheaper than the Dell (Martin).

Then there is the problem of those irksome viruses. PC users have to worry about the problem of millions of viruses, spyware, Trojans, and worms that are written to slow down, or even worse, completely crash the computer. On top of all these viruses to worry about, the antivirus software that can be purchased to prevent any harmful viruses can cost up to a hundred dollars or more and come with an expiration date for the PC (Martin). Having the same problem but on a much smaller scale, Mac only has a handful of viruses compared to PC. Mac also has software updates with the antivirus built in protecting your macbook from day one, making for a worry free experience (David).

Mac is more consistent because the programs and the hardware are both made by the Apple Company whereas the PC is made up of many different programs by many different companies. David Eppestine, president of the PC-oriented South County Computer Club said, “...as far as being easy to use, Macs are probably better….You can do more with Macs because of their closed architecture.” Because it is comprised of Apple’s programming and hardware, Mac is easier to understand and thus easier to use (David).

When compared, if it is content and dependability the user is looking for, Mac is the way to go. Mac has the video, picture, and audio added at no cost. There is also the lower risk of viruses which in the long run could potentially save the user hundreds of dollars. On top of being aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, the Mac has been proven to have what it takes to maintain happy consumers which is exactly what the Apple Company has intended to do.

Electronics

Electronics are everywhere, in your car, in you room, in your pocket, and even in your shoe! Electronics are everywhere!!!! Its crazy to think about how many things are ran by electronics these days, most everything is.

Electronics change everyday. everything is getting smaller and smaller. have you seen the difference in cell phones over the years? there are so small now compare to the size they where back just a few years ago. the reason is because the more they learn about electronics and how they work the smaller they can make things.

Electronics are changing daily! from size to how they work.
