Mac VS. Windows
It
has been a big debate whether mac or windows is better. I believe they both
have good and bad things about them. I don’t think one is better than the
other. It depends on whom you are and what you like to do on your computer.
Macs can be better for
thing but they can also be worse for things. Many feel the cost of a Mac
is too high for what you get, but others justify the heftier price tag by
citing top-tier support, higher quality hardware, and the benefits of the Apple
ecosystem. Whether or not you feel those points are accurate, Mac hardware does come with a number of
limitations when it comes to specifications. If you want a cheaper Mac made by
Apple, you're stuck with a computer you can't do much to upgrade and likely
won't be able to use for gaming purposes. Mac is really closed off. You can’t
change much, but it keeps you safe from hackers and viruses. The killer
feature of every Mac which can’t be underestimated is OS X’s 100% reliable near
instant suspend and resume. Mac OS X starts up from a cold boot in about 25
seconds on a current-gen MacBook Pro. As another journalist contributing to the
discussion observed this is not a faked boot speed where the operating system
maker has rushed to get the login window on screen but delayed loading the rest
of the OS. It’s a genuine boot-to-usable-desktop time.
Windows can be good or bad for things too. Rebooting a
Windows PC can be such a painful experience that you really procrastinate doing
it. Unless you’re running on the highest spec hardware Vista can take minutes
to start up.
During the testing times, I believed Windows had the edge over Mac. Sure, the
colored case of the iMac looked cool, but my friend who owned one couldn’t play
games and it had one mouse button. I pitied him. Aside from those in the
desktop publishing industries, there was, I felt, no real need for anyone else
to own an Apple computer during the nineties and early noughties. Microsoft had
everything you needed from Internet Explorer to Office. Face facts, Mac fans: no serious gamer is going to be trapped into
Apple's walled garden. There are infinitely more games available for Windows PC,
from casual games up to the biggest, baddest games on the planet. And you'll
pay for the privilege of playing those relatively few games the Mac supports:
you could get a decent Windows gaming rig for the cost of a Mac mini - and with
onboard graphics the mini is useless for playing all but the simplest games.
Both Mac and
Windows are great for different things. I personally would have a Mac. I’m not
a big gamer so I wouldn’t need a PC. Macs satisfy my needs for using it at
school and checking my Facebook, Instagram, and my blog. I like how Mac is more
closed off and protected from viruses. For these reasons I’d rather have a mac.
