Mac vs PC

Being a Windows 7 PC user you would think i am all for the PC scene
well your wrong
I've wanted to get my grubby mitts on an Apple Macbook for quite some years
as most Apple lovers will back me up on is when you tell people about it the reaction is the same
"Mac sucks"
or
"PC is much better"
my reaction?
don't criticize until you try them
you see about 95% of people have Windows based PCs and there for are instantly put of Mac OS
and here is the difference between the both:

PC:
most people buy a bog standard machine
meaning the average user cannot listen to music while playing a game and downloading a movie
PCs are made by the thousands making use of cheap crappy components to make the PC scene a cheap one
but what people see as a cost efficient way of getting the job done is also the reason why PCs are popular
people are instantly drawn to the cheaper option and dont seem to give the other a second thought

Mac:
now here is where the difference is
a standard Mac costs £1000
why?
because they are not mass produced sh*t
each and every Mac is built for its purpose making it extremely fast and good at its job
there is no cheap components that bottle neck the operating system
you can make music, make a movie, download a game and sing along while its doing it
without the risk of it choking

Different Software
now this is fun
obviously each operating system has different software
now lets compare them shall we?

Internet

PC
what does the PC have?
Internet Explorer
the biggest joke of an internet browser
its slow, insecure, it freezes allot and is just plain ugly

Mac
what does Mac OS have?
Safari
its extremely fat, useful and it has allot of very handy features

Score
Mac - 1
PC - 0

Word Processing

PC
Microsoft Word
this is dominating the word processing world for one reason
Microsoft has the money to enforce it
its good for a simple letter but also very ugly and slow

Mac
iWork
now this is a word processor
its streamlined, fast, beautiful and doesn't slow down at all

Mac - 2
PC - 0

Music

PC
haha the PC music scene is a joke
what does the PC have?
Windows media player
the worst music player i have ever seen in my life

Mac
iTunes
well, it can download, sort, tag and put lyrics on your music
mix them up, make playlists, podcasts, applications and even album artwork
clear winner here

Mac - 3
PC - 0

i could go on all day about different things
so ill cut this short
the only thing in which the PC beats a Mac is the gaming scene
but i don't tend to play games on my PC anyway so it is not a problem

Conclusion
if you wish to make, edit, publish and become a master at music, videos and pictures
get a Mac
if your a cheap skate who plays games
get a PC
