Personal Computer vs Macintosh

Postby Kaslawjd » 27 Jul 2015, 23:12

For all you computer gurus, which machine is your preference (PC or Mac)? What is the main reason you would choose one over the other? Have you owned one and then switched to the other? If so, what was it that made you make the switch?

Since I am in the industry where video editing is an important aspect, I would go for a Mac. The only reason why we do not buy Mac is the cost - it is more than double the cost of an ordinary PC with the same capabilities. But the quality of video outputted by Mac is really good and above par.

I don't think there is a difference between the two but I think there are more short cuts in the Macintosh which makes it easier to navigate. The screen display is also good.

I much prefer a Windows based PC. Mac's are very clunky and awkward to use at times, and are often slower than a normal PC.

Despite all Mac users are many satisfied, I never used. I always used PC, so it's my favorite.
I like it and do not want to change... :)

I am using Personal Computer. If they are just the same then I prefer my PC. I would want to try Macintosh too, I am just not technical type or a person who are into gadgets and understanding the different but I would love to learn.

I never used a Mac but from what i have read in other forums Macs are only superior to PCs for some works like Graphic Design. Anything else Pcs are very much superiors ...and much more cheap too.

Macs also give you some status...like having a iphone

A PC can still be Mac, you know! Semantics aside, when it comes to Windows/OSX it comes down to preference and needs. OSX is a lot more streamlined and in a sense "locked down" into Apple's ecosystem while Microsoft is starting to embrace getting all their software on all kinds of hardware, kind of what Google is doing.

I do like Macs but they are not a good value proposition for most people's needs. Sorry, but PC completely trounces the Mac in almost every way possible. However, Macs are beautifully designed and nice to have on one's desk.

I like the design for the Macs although I never owned one. However I still prefer PC especially when it comes to gaming.

I like the design of Mac's and their reliability, but many softwares that are available in Windows aren't available in Mac's. Besides that, as other's said, their cost is also very high. I like OSX too because it is beautiful and functional. I've never throughly used a Mac and never done research on it before.
