PC versus Mac


PC versus Mac
                 Laptop computers are too mainstream among people. Users may choose their laptop or desktop according to these various types; brand name or what it is in capable of. In this new era of computing technology, there were two various types of laptop gadgets or desktop computers that IT-literate people are really interested; Mac and PC.  PC’s are very popular all around the world, most of us use it. It is capable of running multiple powerful operating systems and of course, more affordable price. Macs are apple’s proprietary, they run only mac’s OS (operating system), less of the people use this in despite of lesser computing capability and higher cost of money. As a student, I prefer to use PC because it is more basic and powerful in terms of computing, energy saving and of course, it costs lesser money.
               PC’s are the most commonly used in industries. People use it in many ways such as machinery programming , business presentations , slideshows, etc. PC (personal computer) is in capable of running multi- OS’s such as Linux, Meego, Windows and etc. Because windows OS’s are the most commonly installed in PCs by default, people found it to be much powerful; that’s why people chose it. Windows operating system is the pro of a PC, it runs smooth, fast, reliable, convenient, and user-friendly. It not just run with multi-tasking capability but it can also run good whenever you had passed the minimum system requirements in which is not high enough to beat the box.
           Macs are apple’s proprietary, the company started in 1976 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Apple_Inc.) Mac computers only runs mac OS x’s in which is the another con of mac. Mac still has the capability of running smooth, fast, and user-friendly in behalf of it’s high minimum system requirements , meaning, it needs much higher specs to run the certain OS. Because the latest Mac Os X , Lion OS was still found to be laggy but still, it is fast enough to fulfil basic and much powerful computing.
             Both Mac and PC are good in terms of computing but there still has other stuff that people must consider. Windows 7 have in common to Mac Lion OS, they both have the capability to hadle multi-tasking process. However, windows , which is the OS built with PC’s, is still better in handling memory management as if the OS itself has many tweaks or configurations that you can apply to make it faster or smoother unlike In Mac Lion Os, Mac’s proprietary, it has limited resources in tweaking . In terms of hardware components, there were different brands of PC’s that you can buy ; it’s either a brand/unit which has the lower price with lower specs or higher price with a higher specs unlike Mac, the company only releases one design, component/specs of a particular unit.
           Buying a computer is difficult when you do not know of what you really need ; it’s either Mac or PC. If you’re dreaming of buying some Macs, then go! but it costs too much money in contrary to PC’s there were a lot of affordable devices that you could get; whether lower price with lower specs or higher price with a higher specs .Being more practical, there were PCs that was the same as the price of Macs but you can notice that the component or specs doubles of triples to the component inside of a Mac.
