This topic is for the general discussion of the differences and similarities between Macs and PCs.
I personally think that Macs are better, despite their hard-to-navigate track-pad. Only one company makes their programs, allowing the computer to be faster.
PCs, on the other hand, are more prone to viruses.
I prefer PC. I'm a gamer so I often find myself in need of customizing my rig. If I owned a Mac, I would have to buy a new one altogether, and Macs cost a lot as far as I know.
Furthermore, a good amount of my favourite games were made when Mac didn't even exist so I wouldn't be able to play them anymore.
apart form playing games. macs are great for development and other things. except for people who enjoy doing development on a windows machine.
I have had 2 pc laptops totaling $1600 over the past 2 years. one new one for each year. both were HP's top of the line 13 inch but bot failed over a year. the processors and the processor fan burned out. i've had my mac for about 2 years. only thing so far is the battery, and I can easily change out the battery. the cost of the mac $1499 + tax. overall I think my mac will last me a bit longer. Plus if I wanted to sell those older HP computers I wouldn't get much for them. The mac, I know I would get at least $1000.
All in all its all about preference and what you can initially spend your money on. I can play Steam games on my mac.
D: just kidding. In my opinion, Macs are easier to use and almost impossible to have viruses, but they cost more than pc's. I have a pc and it works pretty good, although...them Macs is lookin' pretty shexy o_O

I agree with this, but any computer you buy has a high chance of getting generic parts like fans, batteries, etc. A custom built PC is the way to go I think.

I prefer the PC setup, design and style, but I use Mac's at my school and they have lots because they are cheaper. That right there is a bonus, but I am still a PC fan.
Extremely expensive computer that really only has 2 values, doesn't get viruses and can play music well...
or, cheaper computer that runs just as well if not better, has a more common sense layout, can get viruses but that is easily avoidable.
Apple products suck for everything except playing music, really. Every time i've used a Mac, they've been slower, had programs hidden in strange places, 1 button mouses which really suck, and costed 2 times as much as my laptop that runs way better.
