Hello everyone, me and my mates are debating for a long time about the computer and we could not get the decision to this Window (PC) or Mac. I wonder whether you could help our view on this topic. Obviously, we love computer and game. We are also doing computer science in universities and are learning programming languages Java, C++, VB.Net, Python etc.
I personally love Window 7 and I think it is much better and more stable than before. I have never had any problem with my computer such as virus or anything as long as you don’t install junk freeware or go to doggy websites. I had McAfee, Adobe CS4, Office 2010 Pro, Nero, Visual Studio 2008 etc. I do a lot of gaming on my computer and performance is still the same as new. I do maintain and remove junks once a month.
However, if you don’t know much about how to maintain your computer, then you are likely to have performance or virus issue in a few years’ time. It is usually cheaper than Mac to buy but if it is the same spec depending on the made, PC can be more expensive. Basically I think PC is design for everyone (low end to extreme high end). Mac I think aim at people with a bit more money (usually designer). Also I think there are 60% computers in the world are PC and only 35% are Mac, the other 5% might be other OS.
I have never owned Mac before but I have used it from time to time at school. I do admit that the design looks better and looks posh (expensive) unlike PC because you can custom build your PC from cheap case and stuff. If you buy something like Alienware or Dell XPS model, I do think that design will be awesome even cooler than Mac. However, Mac has very strong marketing in term of iPad, iPhone, iPod. It does seem to be more stable and no need to have anti-virus software. Sometime it seems to be a bit faster than PC in term of loading time and seems to be hide all the system files. I don’t know about programming in VB.NET or Java on Mac because I have never tried it before.
So we are debating which is better for programming, multimedia (video, photo, music), gaming and general purpose such as daily office work (Words, Spread sheet, Web design). Also what programming language do you recommend on Mac. I would like to see people opinion on this topic and please vote which you prefer more. Thanks you.
