Mac or PC? The Pros and Cons (Windows vs Apple)

[Snipermonkey7786]

We need a new OS

[Superspyi2]

Well, here's the thing about the "Quicken" thing. On a Mac, you can run a windows operating system. You'll have to buy it, yes. There's also 2 ways to do it. Bootcamp (at my school) where you hold a button at the startup of the mac and you click which OS you wanna use, or Parallel Desktop, which lets you run a windows OS on top of your Mac OS.

[Metallica2131]

In a nutshell:

Mac - for people who want something that just works, and/or people that don't know much about technology.

PC - For people that know what they're doing, even though it's not all that hard to install an antivirus.

what kind of computer should i get for gaming?

[DontHateOnBodowned]

@9BBang get a pc.mac has pretty much no compatible games

[Disturbed58585858]

@9BBang Alienware, desktop, not the laptop, or you could get your desktop/computer built the way you want, that way, you can always upgrade it to the best of the best, just like all the hardcore gamers do. Both are good choices.

[TheSeeker18161]

what about gaming dude..u did not mention that

[jannikmt]

video flawed very flawed

1.hardwhere,if you know what your doing you proboly want a windows (or linux for the pros)

since you can get parts that are by FAR better, if you have no clue mac is for you

2. viruses nul and void since mac uses the same scipts and memory as windows

3. price yes...

in end mac isgood for the general person but it has lost most of all it's advanteges

[one1derboy]

im a DJ , which would you prefer?

[jonnyk429]

@one1derboy Hard to say, but if price is no option, go with mac.

[jannikmt]

@one1derboy no yo want a windows PC and get yourself a nice soundcard

[one1derboy]

@jannikmt but why?

[bluelapislazuli]

i'm a pc person for stuff like words and powerpoint and excel and movie maker, but for entertainment purposes and generally having fun with cool little additions and visuals i would go for mac, like ones more for work and ones for play

[IgnorantBK]

I personally think PC's are a lot better. Macs in my opinion are over rated and over priced. You can get a REALLY good PC for $2500. Macbook pro's have the specs of a $900-$1000 PC. The only reason PC's get viruses, are that people are too lazy to install anti-virus, spy ware and malware software which you can get for free. And my PC NEVER get's viruses, I don't even have a firewall, either. It's really all about personal preference.

[Macprodog]

Hey I am in grade 10 and I play games like mw3 and I also use virtual DJ pro but I like the MacBook but it is too much money what should I do

[jonnyk429]

@Macprodog Stick with PC

[132jj132]

@AppleTechCast Smart people.

[Jamesscavs]

hello i really like your video and i was wondering what do you suggest for a 8th grader who loves to edit and listen to music mac or pc.

[jonnyk429]

@Jamesscavs Either one would be fine really. A Windows computer would have more cheaper options when it comes to photo editing though

[Poodleinacan]

@AppleTechCast Gamers who want a powerfull/affordable PC that we can modify at home.

[I3raden]

I do graphic design, wich do YOU think would better suit my needs. Please message back.

[jonnyk429]

@I3raden Most graphic designers seem to prefer the Mac

[maw88ify]

@jonnyk429 Dreamworks animated movies are all made on HP / PC's.

[maw88ify]

1). Windows works with almost all hardware

2). PC's running Linux Mint , or PC-BSD are more virus proof than Mac. Linux, and BSD PC's are more secure than Mac

3). Linux includes free software like LMMS, openshot , inkscape, Gimp, Blender 3D 2.5 , and over 4,000 other free programs

4). Windows works better with X-BOX

[TheSonOfTheSystem]

@AppleTechCast Mac sucks ass

[CobraKingofSnakes]

loved the video! nice and simple, no drama well done fella your points were put across well without the showbiz factor pity some of the other tube star wannabes don't follow suit instead of being in love with their own voice and 5 mins of fame.

thanks for your opinion comments noted.

[jonnyk429]

@CobraKingofSnakes Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video

[chucklemunch]

What a terrific effort, mate!! Thank you for your video, a completely unbiased and thorough overview of the two main sides of computing!! Keep up the good work!! :)

[jonnyk429]

@chucklemunch Thank you :)

[ouspenskys]

If you go over to your local Apple store and use a mac for about 5 minutes you can see why it cost so much. When you use it you can see how much work was put into everything. Basically when you buy a mac you are paying for R&D.

[SuperAaaaa123456]

[Hkandiel]

[Hkandiel]

Haha i almost couldn't believe when you Said in the begining " you're probably wanting to but computer and dont know if to but à Mac or Windows " Coz this is exactly

[rizhaq7]

PC is a generic term which can be used to refer to either a Mac or Windows. You seem to be confusing it with WIndows. Just thought I'd clarify this. Good review though! Keep it up.

[jonnyk429]

@rizhaq7 I used the term interchangeably because different people refer to Windows different ways, but thanks for the kudos and clarification!

[luckynbloody]

hi! thanks for your comparision, I have a 2007 old toshiba lol, this fall and im going to college so Im looking for a new laptop. Although my old toshiba is still ok I would like a new one, which one would you recommend? PC or Mac? I would use it for essays, outlook, skype, web, pictures, music, android phone and I d like to learn some pro photo shop and maybe video editing. Which one would you say is better? thumbs up*

[jonnyk429]

@luckynbloody Sounds to me like a PC would work best for you - good luck on your decision!

[luckynbloody]

@jonnyk429 Thank you!!

[aetl100]

[jonnyk429]

@aetl100 haha me too :)

[tommynemec2]

Thanks for posting! In my opinion, I think both companys, and computers are great, they both give the competitor stuff to improve on, and compete for. Would love to see more vids from you! Been a real long time! Keep up the good work!

[jonnyk429]

@tommynemec2 I agree and thanks!

[MrItswhitey]

DONT BE SILLY MACS ARE SHIT.THEY SHIT FOR GAMES THEY STUPID

THEY ARE TO SIMPLE. ITS A BABY TOY ITS FOR DISABLED PEOPLE. THEY IS NOT MUCH ICT ON IT THERES NOTHING MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT IT.ITS SHIT. MAC BURN IN HELL

[ApolloIVtv1]

@MrItswhitey So ur saying people should buy the much more complicated pcs, not that im saying they're worse or better, but still?

[ilovmc]

@MrItswhitey I smell fanboy.

[Spliffer45]

Just 1 point, i wouldnt say mac's are more secure at all, infact just due to the constant prodding and poking of hackers on windows it without a doubt is more "secure", and for all this prodding they consistently release updates and fixes to prevent these different exploits. Whereas osx hasnt had this sort of attention from hackers to find all these holes, so there isnt the same research and implementation of prevention, its kinda like beta testing for glitches.
