Question

Mac's are far superior to PCS, did you know that?

Answer 1

PCs in 1980 were designed to be 10 years behind the current technology and have never caught up. Microsoft has always imitated other software products, and tried to prevent competition by pasteing features into the OS and making them incompatible with the original product.

Macs were designed as a combined hardware and software system with distinct programming guidlines and published styles guides for program development. They were designeg to be used in a simple and easy manner, by people that just wanted to do their work and not waste hours playing with obscure settings, just to get the program to work.

The person that mentions linux missed on important point. Linux wil run on Mac hardware. It euns on the power PC processors, the intel processors, the M68000 processors, the Dec Alpha, the SGI MIPS, the Sun SPARC, the Acorn ARM, and many, many more.

GNU/Linux was the result of good people that simply got sick and tired of greedy corporations stealing theirr work and then making them pay to use what they had created in the first place.



Many hardcore Mac fans were dissapointed when Apple decided to go with the antiquated CISC Intel architechure. This is because they knew that the RISC PowerPC processors had shorter operation execution times and were effectively 3 to 5 times faster than the Intel designs at the same clock speed.

Unfortunately, it is better marketing that sells, not better technology.

Answer 2

Currently, there is no hardware difference between a Macintosh and any other PC. They use all the same hardware parts, only it costs more because they emboss an apple logo on them. If there is no difference, how can one be superior?

Now, if you are referring to the Operating System (OS), you can;t compare 'Mac vs PC' because PC=personal computer. Did you know that a Macintosh is a PC? Think about it, it is your, personal, computer... Hmm...

Now, if you meant 'Mac vs Windows' I would agree with you. Mac is a better OS. Want to know why? It's uses a UNIX kernel. Of course there are many other options with good kernels, that are completely free, so Mac isn't the best option as an OS.

Answer 3

And my Aunt Marvel has a bigger moustache than your Uncle! Er.. wait. What?



I don't think Macs should even be looked upon as being good for Graphic design/multimedia anymore to be honest.



I've used both, I found the short cuts on a Mac to be far more 'user-friendly' than windows, though the amount of times my Mac froze and crashed rivaled that of a Win95/98 OS, there was no end of times when I had to get a paper clip to poke through the hole in the Zip Drive to get out my disc.



Macs were great when Win 98 was the best you could get. Times have changed.

Answer 4

Wrong. Macs are built by the same people that makes PCs (if i'm not wrong, iBooks were made by Asus). Maybe asking for some extra quality controls, but somehow i doubt that.

Then again if you mean that Mac OS X is an awesome desktop OS, yes, it's true :D

While perfection is impossible to achieve, we could say it's the most user friendly, foolproof and compatible solution.

Indeed Windows XP is more compatible, but, ehm, foolproof? Nope. User firendly? XP does it's best, but then they made Vista... that is a step back.

Linux is on the good way to show both Apple and Microsoft how a desktop os should be, but it's still lacking a lot in the user friendly part.

Answer 5

Yes I did know that thank you.



To do the proper multimedia some people think Macs are only good for, requires SERIOUS computational power.



Macs will run more operating systems than a PC. OSX, Windows, Linix, Unix, Red Hat, Darwin, etc.

Answer 6

by way of fact they are not. a working laptop or computing gadget is a gadget for a job and superiority relies upon on the activity to be executed. Many video games are progressed basically for homestead windows (nevertheless you additionally can run them on linux utilising WINE or comparable utility) so for a hardcore gamer a laptop is in all possibility extra suitable. i take advantage of a laptop with Ubuntu on it (to boot as homestead windows, yet i haven't used that for a while). For me that is better to proprietary utility (mac lined) as i'm able to load what i choose and distinctive of the utility is unfastened - that makes that is vastly better to homestead windows or mac. i'm able to additionally load up distinctive laptop environments if I want and upload in many extensions, back virtually all unfastened. you are able to learn autos interior a similar way:- this is extra suitable a ferrari or a human beings provider? in case you desire to bypass rapid or look cool then the ferarri is so plenty extra suitable, yet attempt getting 7 human beings and a load of buying in it! the different subject is fee, apple do not cater for the low-end, extra on your funds computing gadget marketplace so if human beings merely choose a device to circulate to cyberspace, digital mail and use an workplace kit what's going to they pay out, £3 hundred for a laptop or £800 for a mac? Apple would would desire to alter their corporation sort in coming years by way of fact the low-end marketplace call for is gradually increasing. the different subject is that persons generally use desktops at paintings and so are extra familiar with them than macs.

Answer 7

I've known that for 20+ years. Today I'm screaming along on a G5 with the wind blowing through my hair. At least when new Apple system software comes out, it actually works. Hopefully the next update won't be code-named VOMIT!

Answer 8

As a graphic design student, I know that pc's are inferior to the Mac. I forget why but they say the Mac is made for graphics...plus it isn't as suceptable to viruses and all that nasty stuff.

Answer 9

yes I did.



Because Windows used to (dunno if it still does) run on DOS. I think it runs on NT now. Wheras the mac is a straight OS, Windows is like a gaint program if you like. So is more processor hungry, consequently crashing.



O and so you know - Macs can run Windows too nearly as well as a PC, yet a PC runs the mac OS shockingly.

Answer 10

superior just for multimedia.



Did you know mac's are a pain in the *** to repair? If you lose the OS cd you're screwed. You have to go out and buy a new one!



PC's.. lose your cd? No problem. Download Linux.. it will work.. dont like linux? Download windows (illegal but hey!)..



Nearly all the OS's actually work on PC's

Answer 11

Yes that's right and betamax was superior to VCR as a video format as well. Just goes to prove you don't have to be the best just promote yourself better and shout louder and its amazing what you can achieve!

Answer 12

Superior yes, but not worth the difference in value.

Answer 13

Yes I do, thanks for asking.
