A lot of people are arguing which one is better, the Cupertino-based tech company’s Macs or the PCs. Of course Apple’s fans would say Macs and the others will say PC. Sorry for Steve Jobs’ followers but even if you agree or not here are sixteen reasons why you must ditch your Mac and have a PC instead.
1. Cost Effective
The moment you buy a PC laptop or desktop computer, you obtain more bangs for your buck when it comes to hardware. Also, there are thousands of PC computers sold at thousands of stores, thus there is a ton of variety when it comes to price. On the other hand, Macs doesn’t have an almost universal price and this means you’re less likely to get a good deal.
2. Better for Gamers
The computer games are becoming more progressive, and necessitate a large amount of space and top-of-the-line graphics cards. For the price of a MacBook you can already choose a PC computer with the hardware required to run modern games. Plus, many games are not well-matched with the Mac OS.
3. Easy to Customize or Build
The PC computers can be customized or even constructed from scrape without too much trouble. In contrast, Macs can’t really be custom-made at all. This basically means that for a moderately small amount of cash, you can get a really powerful machine.
4. The Operating System
This is a complicated one since some prefer the Mac OS, while others prefer Windows. Here’s a good comparison to help you understand the difference: the Mac is like driving an automatic vehicle, while Windows is like driving a manual vehicle. This basically means that you have more control over your device’s processes when you’re using a Windows computer. You can mess around with some settings, and more small modifications to make that will convert a run-of-the-mill computer into a machine that executes precisely how you need it to.
5. Flexible Hardware
Contrasting with Macs, the hardware in PCs can be altered and updated when you have to. You can install a new GPU, increase your hard drive, or substitute hardware that’s stopped functioning. As a matter of fact, you could totally reconstruct your PC with your own customized set of mechanisms. That kind of thing isn’t probable with a Mac.
6. Customized PCs for Your Particular Needs
Flexible hardware also means that you can make a system perfect for your definite needs. Machines can be augmented for gamers, architects, photo editors, designers, video editors, and more. Specific components can be integrated into your PC, which means you won’t be shelling out your money for the features you’ll never need.
7. No Premium Price for Flamboyant Designs
It’s agreeable that there still isn’t a PC maker on the world that is as good as the Apple’s Mac makers when it comes to product design. But not everybody desires or needs a computer that has flamboyant appearance. The Macs habitually cost more than their PC counterparts due to the design.
8. Security
This isn’t about the security in terms of viruses, because PCs are more vulnerable. This is about the terms of protection against failed modernization, radical change, and the potential eradication of the OS itself. The Mac users put all their eggs in just one basket; this is the same with the company that makes both their device and their OS. If future Mac improvements fail, Mac users can just bear it or make to switch. Since there are a lot of PC computers, the PC users can always have a choice of devices. Also, it is worth noting that the majority of computer users use PC and Windows is less expected to make severe changes.
9. Inexpensive Support
Apple technical support is more costly than Windows and PC support. When you purchase a Mac product, 90-day phone customer support is counted in for free. Sure, the customer care is really good, but it only lasts for 90 days. After that, you’ll be repaying. Additionally, if your PC does break down, you can get it repaired just about everywhere. Not all computer shops can deal with Macs, and bringing your device directly to Apple can be expensive.
10. Less RAM is Needed
Windows’s virtual memory is indeed much more effective than Mac’s. A PC that’s running low on memory will run slow, but despite that it won’t break down. A Mac running low on memory is much more possible to crash. This only means that you need less RAM in a Windows computer to make sure that it’s dependable.
11. Freeware
There is a plentiful amount of freeware offered to Windows users. We’ll let the stats to do the talking. Download.com has over 55,000 plug-ins well-matched with PC, and just fewer than 5,000 for Mac.
12. Broadband Just Functions
USB broadband modems can fail to function suitably on Macs while on PC it just works well. This basically means that finding a dependable ISP is hard enough and looking for one that also has support for Macs is a headache that you really don’t need.
13. No Confusing Version Numbers
Macs really have a confusing version numbers, whereas the most complicated Windows system requirements will only require a service pack. Since the version numbers for PC were only released once every few years, it will unlikely confuse you.
14. Full Selection of Peripherals
The Macs are locked out from a wide variety of products and services, from Windows-only home security toolkits up to the music download stores and MP3 players and the Creative Zen Vision:M. Even moderately simple peripherals, like the handy U3 memory sticks, are unacceptable on Mac OS X.
Now that you already know why you must ditch Mac for PC, will you do it? We will leave you the choice but hopefully, the realizations above were able to help you out!
