7 Reasons Why PCs are Better than Macs.

October 8th, 2009 khanbm 9 comments

Lately Apple has gained a lot of popularity everywhere. Many people are talking about switching from windows to mac and I have been in countless arguments over which is better. Note: I will write an article later about why Macs are better than PCs just to be fair.

1. Customisability

PCs are infinitely more customisable than Macs. It is very simple to build your own computer, choosing the exact parts you need to suit your needs. There are infinite combinations and choice when it comes to making a PC. If you don’t want to make one, there are heaps of people who will make one for you to suit your own needs. Retailers such as Dell and HP also offer many options to customise a PC. Macs however are very limited. They often don’t use the latest hardware for about a year while PCs have already had them. You don’t see any Macs with Core i7’s inside them. Any extras you want to add on will cost you a fortune for example adding an extra 4GB of RAM will cost you around $800 but if you had a PC, a similar upgrade for 4GB of DDR3 will cost a maximum of $200 but can be had for $150. This makes a PC much more affordable. There is so much choice out there as to parts that you can make it look however you want. Apple only offers a few variations of their computers with little customisation options at a price set way too high. Not to mention the premium you pay for the Apple logo.
