Pros/Cons of PC vs Mac?
I am in the market for a new laptop. I have owned 1 HP and 2 Compaq’s and have realized that the Compaq’s screens go bad within 2 years (the reason I ended up buying a second one of them). My HP was good…but nothing significant makes me want to buy another one.
I have many friends, who are telling me to try the Mac, but want non-biased reviews on why. What are the pro’s and con’s of the Mac versus PC’s? How easy is it to go from PC to Mac? What about installing printers, wireless internet etc? Also, does Mac come with Word (or something like it) or do I have to purchase that separately.
Thanks in advance!
Oh and some background-I use my computers primarily for internet usage, photo editing/saving and homework.
Mac pros:
very resistant to malware
very high build quality
excellent operating system (stable, reliable, well designed)
come with excellent software
Mac cons:
Less general software support than PC
Less free software available
More expensive by comparison
Does not support as much peripheral hardware
NOT good for serious gaming (light gaming ok)
For your purposes (as you’re not a gamer) they are a good option. If you wanted more diverse software options Id say PC. As your useage is relatively straightforward, then a mac is not a bad idea at all. They are very reliable both in terms of the OS and Hardware.
