Depends on what you need it for. \n\nIf you can afford it and don't need specific windows software, I would say the mac is the better computer. \n\nBecause Apple controls both the hardware and the operating system it just works and is more stable. Besides they look good.

I am very partial to Macs, primarily because I do graphics. If you are into Adobe programs like Photoshop, Illustrator or After Efects, then Mac is for you. Programs such as IPhoto, ITunes and IMovie are a pleasure to work with too. Also, hackers generally don't bother creating viruses for Macs, making them less likely to be infected or have other security issues.

I like Macintosh Computers because:\n\n1. They are very stable. Windows-powered computers are usually very unstable due to driver problems and what not. With the Mac, though, everything is already handled by Apple so you don't have to worry about it.\n2. Plug-in-play, without the drivers. You can use most any piece of hardware that you want, without having to install drivers.\n3. No viruses. People don't target the Macintosh computer with viruses.\n4. Great multimedia power. Mac OS X works great with Photoshop, Bryce and a few other programs.\n5. Run Windows alongside Mac OS X. Now you can partition your drive with Boot Camp.\n6. Macs do Office too. Apples have their own version of Microsoft Office.

It all depends on what you're using the computer for. Apple's are much better at graphics rendering, so anything related to design or graphics is better suited for a Mac. PC's are better designed for executing intense calculations/procedures.\n\nOverall, Mac is making a lot of progress. I am personally a PC user, but if I had extra money lying around I'd get a Mac too. PC's used to have user-friendliness on their side, but even that is beginning to change. When it comes down to it, it's almost a personal preference. Somehow or another you can probably find some one to do everything on either machine.

A notebook is better because you can take it around. A desktop you can't take around. But the desktop will be much cheaper and it will be faster. A desktop can do more stuff. If your in college or going to college or do work where you move around a  lot then it's worth getting a laptop. But whatever you get make are you have a lot of RAM-memory. The more RAM you have the faster your computer will perform.

Depends on what you want to use it for. If graphic design or music is your main reason for getting a computer then a Macintosh would be a good choice. But if you need compatibility with the broad range or software in the market, a PC running would be the better choice. If you a programmer, forget Macintosh OSX and Windows and get Linux :-)

Mac without a doubt.  You won't regret it.  Having purchased both brands myself, I will never go back to Dell.  I've had my mac for 2 and a half years and it's still like new.  The Dell had me wishing for a new computer after a year.  Also, Apple has the fewest problems and the best customer service.  Get the Apple Care Protection Plan.  They will help you with anything.  If you have an Apple store near you, you can schedule one on one time with a Mac Genius.  So great!  Good luck!

It depends on your plan of use. If you plan to use if for office, then its better to use windows because it has programs like word, powerpoint, excel, etc which is really useful in the office. but if you are in the magazine or publication then its better to use a mac os because of the sound and picture quality is very good.\n\nanother difference is that with windows there are a lot of softwares and programs available in the market  that can be compatible with the os because windows comprise almost 80% of all the computer in the world. but the downside is that because of this there are also alot of people familiar with windows already hence the proliferation of alot of viruses, bugs, worms,etc that can infect your computer. On the other hand, even though that there is not alot software/programs for an apple or a mac because it only comprise 15% (5% all other os) of the world's computers, you can be sure that your computer has less possibilty of being infected by viruses. \n\nAside from being more user friendly, there is this fact that you cannot clone a mac. everything i done by apple. there are no spareparts for an apple thus increasing the security of a mac computer.\n\npricing also does make a very big difference. due to the exclusiveness of a mac computer, its very expensive compared to a windows computer. but if you think you cant handle viruses and your computer crashing, so i think a mac is a very good investment.\n\nthis are some of the point i can share with you about a mac and a windows os. now its up to you to make the choice.

Mac is superior for graphics.

I would suggest getting somthing used.  Mac's tend to be quite a bit more expensive than Windows PC's, and because of their inginutity and design they don't really have a 'cheap' model.  Look in the papers and perhaps online...maybe ebay, for something used.

go with a pc.. much more common which makes them much more versitile.. You will find more products (software, hardware, ect.) for a PC then you will for a Mac..

I have spent a lot of time using both, and there is no doubt that macs are much much better. Especially now you can run windows on one if you feel the need.

Its really very Simple. If you buy a mac u can always install windows xp on the same machine. But if you buy a pc u can't install Mac OS X, iLife 06 and all great stuff from Apple and for apple. So, its very easy to decide.U can get a mac instead of a PC and when u like mac u can put windows as an option.\n \nBuying a Mac Advantage:-\n        - Mac OS X, iLife, easy to use and well integrated softwares\n        - Less viruses or almost no viruses.\n        - Can install Windows Xp - same as having a PC in Mac :)\n        - PC virus can't doing anything to Mac. so even windows xp          in the mac is affected with virus still mac is intact. ;)\n\nBuying a PC :-\n        - No Mac OS X, No great user experience, no iLife, only a pc which a Mac already has in it.\n       - Virus attacks then whole life is ruined\n\ni'm mac user for 12 years... U will love your mac when u buy and start using it and Windows XP is always an option on  a Mac with boot camp ;)

I've been using an AppleMac for about 3 years now; before that I was a PC user. Here's a list of reasons why I'm glad I switched:\nMacs crash *much* less often than your average Windows machine.\nViruses, trojans etc. are much rarer for the Mac.\nIn my experience at least, Macs last much longer than PCs.\nMacs are great to look at.\nThe operating system is very intuitive and much simpler to understand than Windows.\nThe community of Mac users (especially online) is great. When you meet someone else who has one, you just feel instantly connected to them.\nThey're much better than PCs for graphics and image editing.\nApple are not the subject of any anti-trust lawsuits, unlike Microsoft.

Macs are definitely a better machine if you look at the technical specs.  Esp. the new MacPro Books, they have dual Xeon Core Processors (the ones found in servers!!!).  Also they offer up to 16 GB of memory, for a laptop that is amazing!  But it all depends on what you want to use your machine for.  If you need to crunch numbers and process spreadsheet and data warehousing PCs are for you.  If you want a machine that runs beautifully and so smoothly like for Video artists, Musicians, and anybody who can appreciate a piece of technology that is also dually a piece of art than the Mac is for you.  One last thing to get really hooked up the MacPro Books (I mean Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, 23" HD panel, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB harddrive space, and the works)  you will have to spend about $5,900.  PCs are much cheaper, but if you look at the specs you will see why!
