Author: Jason Oh Category: Word Count: 443 Keywords: Mac, PC Author's Email Address: [email protected] Article Source: http://www.articlemarketer.com ------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------
Everyone knows about the ongoing controversy of the Mac vs. PC battle. Each has its share of strengths and weaknesses. What is seems to come down to is personal preference. If you have an informal alliance with either brand and have been happy with it in the past, stick with it. If you are a first-time computer buyer or you are looking for a less expensive computer, go with a PC. If the thought of getting viruses scares you to death, purchase a Mac. Whatever you use at work, it makes sense to buy the same for home use so they match and there is no need to change your mind set when you are at home or work. As far as the differing operating systems on a Mac vs. PC, both types boast top-of-the-line systems that operate well. People who purchase computers with security concerns should go with a Mac. They are simply safer. This is because various nasty viruses, worms and Trojan horses are written to attack the Windows operating systems. Apple computers cannot run ".exe" files, something that can seem a curse, but it is a security blessing. Other traps still await Apple users, but no computer is safe from every attack. However, because of the curse Macs have of not being able to open ".exe" files, software is almost always combatable with a PC when it is not with a Mac. Many basic programs like Microsoft Office and Outlook for Windows are mimicked on Apple computers as Mac 2008 and Entourage. They do basically the same thing and Apple users are not put off by this. However, specialty programs that professionals and scientists use usually only with Windows operating systems. For gamers, the obvious choice in this debate is a PC. For price, PC is also always the winner, especially when purchasing refurbished desktops or refurbished laptops. Apple laptops come much more expensive than Windows and Apple monitors of the same dimensions as a Dell, Samsung or Acer can cost three times more. Buying a refurbished monitor will save you even more. In the persistent search battle of which type of computer model is better, there is still no clear-cut winner. With the benefits and disadvantages of each, it ultimately comes down to personal preference. Both types reliably execute the tasks they were designed to perform. Besides, there are more options out there than these two powerhouses. Who knows, in a decade or two we could be utilizing a completely different system and the Mac vs. PC debate can end. Jason Oh has an interest in computers and technology. His blog http://refurbishedcomputerexplained.com provides detailed information on refurbished desktop computers.
