MAC OS can only be on an apple computer and it costs £1000 approximately including the computer whereas windows costs around £617 including the computer for the pro edition. Windows also has more software made for it. Windows also has more security options than MAC as on windows you can restrict what certain users can do with some files.

Whereas Apple is the only user of Mac OS.…

Deciding whether to make an investment in a Windows PC or an Apple Macintosh provides unique technological features. Both the Personal Computer and the Macintosh have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although PCs are the dominant choice for a computer, the Macintosh still competes toe to toe in many aspects of performances. Elements such as cost, customization, and security, all add to the conflict of which computer is ultimately superior.…
The PC OS is Microsoft windows which offers its users free updates and has a very highly talented team of Pros to keep them ahead of the game. One thing that some users don't like is that Windows OS is easy to crash unlike the Mac is protected with tight encryption that your basic user can’t get past, to make any changes to the main OS to change it. “Macs hardware is well built and appealing but is expensive. Most of their laptops have SATA hard drives which are fast but are short on memory and don't come with DVD players or HDMI ports and the batteries are not removable. PCs on the other hand plenty of design, specifications, and price options. The hardware runs from topnotch to low with the prices matching the quality.” (Popular…

First of all, PCs have a better user interface. While Mac users have always boasted of having a computer with a clean, modern look, this changed with Windows Vista, released on January 30, 2007. Windows Vista has translucent window bars, a search bar on the start menu, and tabs on the bottom of the screen, as well as introducing a feature in which users can scroll through all open windows. To contrast, Macs require tedious dragging around of windows, making multitasking with several windows open a nightmare. Additionally, Macs have a detached toolbar that is attached to the top of the screen. Being detached has no functional purpose, constantly takes up space, and does not close when the program window is closed. A stereotype of Macs is that they are more user-friendly. However, starting with Vista, the search bar has allowed users to efficiently search for any desired file, and the sidebar was introduced (similar to widgets), which has “a number of functional and useful gadgets,” (Weisben). Windows 7 (released 2009) got rid of the unnecessary security pop-ups, as well as added a toolbar at the bottom with tabs, preventing the Mac system of dragging around windows. Windows 7 also added the feature that allows a user to make a window full or half screen by dragging it to the top or side of the screen. According to Mitchell Ashley, from networkworld.com, “Gone from Windows 7 are Vista's loads of unnecessary bloatware applications, confusing and poorly designed configuration dialog boxes, and moronic UAC popups that impeded a user's productivity at every turn.”…
Windows ' popularity is also a shortfall when it comes to security, as Windows suffers the most from viruses, spyware, adware and other malicious software than any other operating system. There are malicious programs made for Mac as well, but Macs aren 't infected nearly as often.…
When most people think of computers, they do not visualize the components inside that make up the computer system. Most state-of-the-art systems have the same components as a personal computer to meet the user’s needs. Although state-of-the-art computers offer more memory and storage capabilities, my personal computer offers some of the same components but is less expensive.…
Both the operating system and software applications improve the organizations ability to operate in an efficient and effective manner. There are four operating systems which include: Windows, Mac OS, Unix, and Linux. Operating systems handle data that is received, processed, saved, and backed up through application software. According to Kroenke (2012), “for business users, the most important operating system is Microsoft Windows. Some version of Windows resides on more than 85 percent of the world’s desktops and considering just business users, the figure is more than 95 percent” (p. 80). The Mac OS operating systems are primarily used by artists and workers in the arts community. Whereas Unix is used more so in the scientific and engineering communities.…
When Catherine Zeta Jones began wearing elegant trench coats with high heels, a love for the classic wardrobe was reignited once again. Today, macs are available in an abundance of patterns, such as floral and check, but if you’re looking for one that defies trends, opt for a solid colour such as the traditional cream or sandy brown. For a sophisticated evening look, keep an eye out for elegant silk macs in deep luxurious colours, such as purple or crimson. When macs were first made back in the 1800s, various problems arose, most no- tably, the material of the coat melting in hot weather! Fortunately, today’s quality macs are much more durable and with proper care, should last years.…
