Mac vs. PC - The Interminable Debate at 17:22

The "Mac Vs. PC" debate has raged on since the late 1970's. I was discussing the matter with Luke the other day, and we think that when it comes down to it, it's all about preference. Both the Macintosh and the PC have pros and cons. I've no problem with people listing these pros and cons then making comparisons, any intelligent person pondering which they should purchase would. However, what irks me to some extent is the comments on, for example, YouTube posted by fanboys of the Mac/PC, declaring that the Mac or PC is useless, while the other is completely superior. The simple fact is, neither is a superior operating system. At the same time, there is of course things that Mac does better and vice versa. If you're a graphic designer/video editor or work with lots of multimedia projects then Mac might be for you. At the same time, if you're a gamer then the PC has an advantage over the Mac, as there's more games available for the PC. There is many popular games that are available on the Mac, however there's a wider range to choose from with the PC. Mac is generally more expensive than PC. I've heard/read a lot about PC being best for "business", but this isn't really true at all; both machines have Excel, Word processing software etc, and the files are compatible too, so if your work computer is a PC you can still create an excel file on your Mac that you can use on your work computer. Both machines support Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, and all other Adobe products. Both machines can run Chrome, Firefox, Safari and other internet browsers. As you can see, it wont make a huge difference which you buy, it's down to what you're more comfortable with. I prefer PC because I'm used to it, I've always used it. On the other hand, Luke is very comfortable using a Mac and a PC because he's spent most of his life using both. My advice to you is to ignore the comments of elitist fanboys making mostly false claims, go out to a local computer store and try out both. Then buy whichever you prefer.
