mac vs pcThe debate between Mac and PC has been going on for years. They are both great computers, but they are also very different. Here’s a look at how you can figure out which one is best for you.

Options or No Options

If you are the type of person that prefers many different options, you may want to get a PC. This type of computer can come from many different manufacturers and will give you many options with the design.

Those that don’t need many options may prefer a Mac. Since these computers all come from Apple, the designs are limited. Not a bad thing. Just the way it is.

Cost

Your budget certainly has to come in consideration, as well. Macs tend to be much more expensive than PC’s. They use more costly components and come with very different software packages. If you don’t have a huge budget, a PC is probably the better choice for you. Though keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for.

Software

The software will be quite different from a Mac to a PC. You must consider what you plan to use the computer for. If you plan to use it for your business and you need specific software, it’s important to make sure you get the right programs with the computer you choose.

Quality

Apple’s products are undeniably well styled. From the packaging down to the way it looks on your desk, Mac just look great and are very made well. Hence, they’re usually more expensive.

Security

Most of the computers in the world are PC’s. This means they are more likely to be attacked by a virus. However, as Mac computers continue to grow, they are becoming more susceptible to viruses and other security issues.

Customers of both Apple and Microsoft are very satisfied, overall. Both are very good computers, but they don’t fit for everybody. PC’s tend to be more affordable, while Macs tend to be more high end.

Neither computer is wrong, but one may be right for you. Make sure you consider all the factors before you commit to one or the other.
