Mac vs PC...Which one to choose?

These are very different breeds of operating systems, and systems. Both are very good but and both have really bad stuff about them. It's like Nikon Vs Canon, and it's very hard to choose, but for me it's a easy decision. I am going to talk about the differences in the performance, programs, E.T.C

The performance

I really think that PC has the edge on performance, because you can make a custom rig and it can be god all mighty. Also mac doesn't give a standard 8GB for a $1800-and over, that is very stupid. They also want to make you pay for $600 dollars for 16GB of ram that cost only $100 dollars in the modern market. I also think that more applications on PC run faster than Mac, like third party browsers, and other programs like older Adobe Programs because most people have PC's than Mac. Overall PC's win on the performance.

The programs

This is a very big issue with Macs, the programs. Most of the free programs for mac, is absolute rubbish. Also Apple is trying to push their Apple programs in your face, like itunes. The program itunes is a very expensive program that works natively on Mac. This is why so much people buy music on itunes, because it's so easy that they push everything down your throat and it makes you puke. Also a lot of the keyboard shortcuts are messed up on the Mac, because of the dashboard buttons, E.T.C. You can install the Windows operating system, but for gaming you will need certain drivers, and it's very hard to find drivers for gaming on a Mac. I really wished that Apple fixed the issue's with driver problems. PC wins on this also.

The simplicity

Steve Jobs once said, that the Mac is a lot easier to use, than PC. This is not the truth in most cases. Personally my mom thinks that using a PC it's tons easier for finding documents and programs. I think in this case PC is better, organizing your documents on Mac is a living hell. When you are trying to find something in one folder, it searches the whole computer! This is a hug deal to people like me, that we named it something weird. The only thing I like about the organizing system is, the color for organizing documents. Also you have it's really stupid that you can't open a new finder window, when you are doing something else on the main finder window. You only can use one at a time...PC wins on this one also.

Overall PC wins, but the Mac is a very stable operating system, that would most likely not crash on you. Also it doesn't get as much viruses as the PC does but you can get a really nice virus software for that issue...so that's not a huge problem. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.
