Over 30 years the conflict between the two sides and no clear winner has emerged, users should look at certain options when comparing a Mac to a PC. Areas of price, hardware options and applications play a key role on the final decision of which platform will work for them.
Affordability of Personal computers can range from fourty dollars to tens of thousands depending on the hardware used to build the system. Very bottom PC models such as the Raspberry Pi will run windows 10, but only one application at a time. Moving to the far end of the spectrum, a custom gaming rig can run as much as twenty thousand dollars. Parts used to build a system will determine …show more content…
Intel and AMD produces processors chips, these can range in the number of cores; 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, and speeds of 1 GHz to 4 GHz, currently both companies offer a total of 70 different processors for PCs. Most PCs come with a standard of 8 GB of memory, for higher end systems 16 GB or 32 GB can be ordered in the system. Currently there two manufactures of video cards Nvidia and AMD, between both of them they offer fifteen different choices in video cards for the PC. The variety of components for the PC is astounding, types of processor, the amount of memory, and the types of video card are limited when purchasing a Mac. Out of the five systems offered, the choices are limited to only nine different Intel processors, ranging in speed from 1.6 GHz to 3.3 GHz. With memory all but one system comes with 16 GB, this is more than the standard PC comes with, the most costly Mac has 64 GB of memory. Video cards are also limited when purchasing a Mac, only four versions of video cards are
