Mac Vs PC, the heated debate among nerds alike

In the personal computing world the most asked and heated debate ever has to be the debate if a Mac is better than a PC and vice versa. So to clear this old debate up I have researched the pros and cons of both the PC and Mac (I have tried to make this as unbiased as I can, MAC FTW!)
Innovation as shown above
Having taken a look at the low market shares of Apple, we can see generally the Mac does not sell as well as a Windows PC however this is just the game plan Apple have in mind of creating high quality machines and technology and generally don’t aspire to create “low end” machines in which some Windows machines hold. If you were to simplify this sentence it would read “The PC is generally your everyday (in personal experience not reliable) Toyota Yaris let’s say, and the Mac is the super shiny highly adored Bugatti Veyron.” To go even deeper into simplicity, the more money you pay the better quality.


The Mac design is something of true beauty to a nerd (like me!). Thin, lightweight and generally just works. Compare this to a Windows PC designed by a scribble on a piece of paper and the rest from there off the top of an average Joe’s brain. The PC never seems to excite or explore. They’re bulky and have poor design and cheap fiddly plastic parts. Apple seems to innovate and look at the small points and think “How could we make this better for our consumers?” They introduced the MagSafe power adapter which brought the costs of tripping over laptop chargers less costly and safer and many other little things that add up to make the Mac the greatest piece of personal computing available today.

The speed and the layout of OSX is just a pleasure to use, everything just works out of the box and no need to install drivers and no need to go round uninstalling software that you wouldn’t use given to you by the manufacturer (Mac 100 – PC 0). Little enough to say no activation technology on a Mac which is generally Microsoft’s excuse for “Bill Gates to scrape every last penny from your bank account, piggy bank and the secret fund you have hidden from your wife between the books in the book shelf” into his pocket. 

I tried to make this as unbiased as I could, but there’s nothing nice about the PC!
