Introduction
When it comes to its aesthetic features, simplicity of use, security as well as compatibility with some of the latest gadgets today Macs far outclass PCs as the computer of choice for today’s tech savvy population. As of late the use of Macs has exploded in usage with literally millions of people adopting the brand.
The reason behind this is quite simple, with the current trend in the creation of online social media wherein literally millions of people everyday upload media based content in one form or another, the Mac with its simple yet versatile interface is a great device for various media based applications for photo and video editing which is currently in demand by the general population.
Not only that, due to the operating system being Unix based rather than utilizing Windows it has a better overall level of stability which ensures that the system won’t inexplicably crash resulting in substantial data loss for users (Saraceno, 106). Another factor that should be taken into consideration is the fact that a majority of viruses that are prevalent online are designed to attack Windows based PC systems.
This is not to say that there are no viruses that specifically attack Macs however the fact remains that these are relatively few in number as compared to the prevalence of Windows based viruses. As it can be seen, purchasing a Mac would be better than purchasing a PC due to the sheer amount of benefits a computer user gains from using a Mac.
Design and Product Compatibility
Based on aesthetics alone, Macs look far more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, have a more modern look and feel and the main interface itself is far more interactive and visually appealing as compared to the average PC.
Since the average computer consumer bases their purchasing behavior on what looks aesthetically pleasing for them this results in the development of a predilection towards purchasing Macs over PCs. It must be noted that Macs are already inherently compatible with several of today’s trending products in popular culture such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod. This is due to the fact that they are made by the same company thus increasing the compatibility such products have with the Mac.
This results in a far smoother level of integration and information exchange between the devices which enables faster file transfer speeds, data backup and integration as well as usability in terms of synching up the devices to perform tasks that otherwise could not be performed with an ordinary PC interface (Saraceno, 106). The benefits of using this sort of compatible system synching enables fewer problems for ordinary consumers which makes the use of the product that much easier, faster and hassle free.
Conclusion
Based on the various facts presented it can be seen that in terms of their overall ease of use, versatility when it comes to using media based applications, external aesthetic quality and the inherent stability of the software, Macs far outclass PCs as the product of choice for a tech savvy enthusiast.
What must be understood is that while Macs do have their own inherent limitations as compared to PCs the fact remains that due to the fact that it focuses on applications that are popular with various trends in popular culture today this results in a greater degree of relevance being placed on using Macs over PCs. As such for any consumer looking for a simple to use, effective and aesthetically pleasing computer, Macs are the best choice to be made.
