One of the most sensitive and fiery discussions among people seems to be a simple question: are you a Mac or PC?<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve all seen the commercials: Apple promotes its products by pointing out PC flaws and highlighting its own characteristics. PC returns the favor by pitching its low cost and easy accessibility.<\/p>\n
I like to call myself a Mac daddy. I grew up with a PC and didn\u2019t know any better. I thought viruses were inevitable and consistent pop-ups were included. Once I got my hands on a Mac, I couldn\u2019t resist the smooth and charming experience. I purchased a MacBook in February and haven\u2019t had a single problem. No pop-ups, viruses, lost connections or spyware.<\/p>\n
Once I owned a Mac and used it on a daily basis, there was no turning back. I\u2019ve since used a PC on a handful of occasions and each trial it feels like I step backward in time.<\/p>\n
When I hear arguments for PCs, my eyes roll. Barring the price, there is nothing PC has over Mac.<\/p>\n
I remember seeing a PC commercial involving a mother and daughter going to an electronics store searching for a new laptop. While shopping, the daughter came across some Apple computers and stated she wasn\u2019t a \u201cMac person.\u201d What does that mean? Is PC attempting to target the \u201cI\u2019m not cool enough to own a Mac\u201d bracket.<\/p>\n
According to a popularmechanics.com comparison, Apple won the battle between the two computing powers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn our speed trials, however, Leopard OS trounced Vista in all-important tasks such as boot-up, shutdown and program-launch times,\u201d Popularmechanics.com said. \u201cWe even tested Vista on the Macs using Apple\u2019s platform-switching Boot Camp software\u2014and found that both Apple computers ran Vista faster than our PCs did.\u201d<\/p>\n
I know it\u2019s a tough time for some when it comes to spending. PC is the way to go if you need a laptop for less than $500. In this sense, and when it comes to large purchases, I don\u2019t have a problem paying for quality.<\/p>\n
