Mac or PC?

There seem to be two main types of computer available in most computer shops. One is an Apple Mac the other is a Windows PC.

One of the biggest deciding factors in buying a Mac or a PC is the price. Macs are much more expensive than PCs, in some cases costing up to twice as much as a comparable PC. This can make a Mac not worthwhile if you only need to do basic computing.

Apple is very selective about what programs and applications it allows to run on its machines so software availability can be an issue. However if the software is available for Macs, it is generally high quality and reliable, but there is less variety.

Macs tend to be a bit more secure than PCs as there are a lot more internet threats that target PCs.

Macs are used in creative industries, so a large amount of creative software is available for Mac, making them a good fit for graphic designers and people who love taking photographs, listening to music and playing movies. They have built-in software and hardware features that play music or movies, edit and store photographs and also have software for internet and email along with office applications for word processing etc.

PCs tend to be used in offices and businesses so they have a wide range of applications available for internet browsing, email and word processing.

PCs are better suited for gaming because of their powerful graphics capabilities and the wide variety of games available for PC.

PCs tend to be better for users who occasionally use their computer or use it for basic tasks such as internet, email, a few photographs, bit of music and some typing as paying the price for a Mac might not be worthwhile.

However if you use your computer a lot, love taking photographs, making videos, watching DVDs, listening to music as well as typing documents, browsing the internet and using email, a Mac might be worth its price.
