PC -vs- MAC

/ Category: , , ,

For many years, MAC and PC have been rival competitors in the computer world. Many use to say that MAC/APPLE didn't have enough software therefore making it impossible to compete with the IBM or WINDOWS world. Consumers have always had the choice between the two, but the PC always seemed to be the most popular and sought after desktop and laptop computer system for many years.

Today, the MAC has the ability to run WINDOWS applications and they have streamlined their interface with digital media like cameras, phones, ipods etc. The MAC has really come a long way in the last few years. Commercial television has taken the battle between MAC and PC to a whole different level with some of these latest releases of subtle yet tactful expressions of this Love / Hate relationship between the two.

The MAC is BACK! The PC is EASY! Which will it be? Who will finally win the battle of the GEEKS! We think they're both here to stay! Do you own a MAC or a PC......or Both?
