Macs and PCs have been around for quite some time now; as a result, there have been many debates between which one is better. Mac is supposedly the cool kid on the block while PC’s are conveyed as being business oriented. Both Macs and PCs have their advantages and disadvantages, and companies often try say what their products have that the other institutions don’t. In the Mac vs PC advertisement it seems as if the Mac outshines the PC, however, in the Surface Pro 3 advertisements it feels as if the PC is more efficient. Different companies use different tactics to get their consumers hooked onto an advertisement to try and make them prefer a certain product over another; companies often use marketing schemes to grab the attention of customers. Both Apple and Microsoft use color to enhance the way things look. Microsoft uses a color that darkens out the Apple product, and Apple uses …show more content…
The Mac was dressed in colors such as blue because it is casual and appealing to the younger audience. In a certain part of the advertise the PC guy brings other people with black business clothing to make it seem as if the PC guy was more professional than the Mac, in the end it backfires since there are problems with the program. In general, the Mac vs PC advertise noted all the faults that the PC had, and the features that the Mac had to outperform the PC. In the Surface Pro 3 advertise the MacBook air has bad lighting because the color of the Mac is silver, and it nearly blends in with the rest of the background; the Surface Pro has dark edges which looks better on a white background. Microsoft decides to show all the features that the Surface Pro has but leaves out all the features the Mac is made of. The Surface Pro uses a blue keyboard to make it more visible, they didn’t use a white one because it would blend in with the background like it did for the
In today’s society, consumers are looking for a product that is willing to do it all. A product must fit both professional and personal needs. There are many products out there but three of the most common include, Apple’s Macbook Pro, Apple’s Iphone 6, and Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3. All three of these devices have their advantages and disadvantages, but the one I feel is the greatest buy is the Mac Book Pro by Apple. It is important to compare the similarities and difference of all three of the popular devices.
Technology has changed over the years. What started out as the typewriter is now the computer. This piece of technology can do anything from surfing the web to playing video games. Microsoft and Apple have both changed the way we use electronics. Microsoft has better electronics than Apple. Microsoft has better phones, computers, and tablets.
In contemporary society, it is almost impossible to imagine someone who lives without a computer. The advancement of computer technology in all facets of the world substantially grew to the point where everyone needs a computer to carry out their everyday life. Computers have gained significance as they have improved the efficiency and productivity of work done. Computers have not only become a common accessory, but a necessity as well. With the overwhelming demand for computers and their functions, the question ‘what kind of computer should I purchase?’ ripens. In 2006, Apple sought to answer that question. In that year, Apple launched their first “Get A Mac” commercial. The first year of the campaign produced 19 ads. After 4 years the campaign
Mac vs. PC debate Did you know that 5% of personal computer consumers own an Apple Macintosh? The Apple Macintosh vs Windows personal computer debate is a controversy in the computer science field. Computer experts cannot narrow down a superior computer in all components, due to the closeness in competition. These components to a computer are usually: design, operating system, aesthetic appearance, performance, and price. The Macintosh computer has an easier design to work with, and is also more easily accessible due to its user friendly format.
Many would say MAC has amazing quality products, which they do. Their eye shadows are highly pigmented. Their lipsticks are long wearing with great color payoff. They also have lip glass, which is a lip gloss that comes in a very sticky
One of the most important factors is price. Mac prices are relatively high, and not obtainable by most. Whereas PC costs vary from cheap computers to high-end expensive computers, Leaving a variety of choices for different types of consumers. Furthermore, the operating system must be taken into
During the time of writing an article about Macs vs PCs “HowStuffWorks” says that there is only 18 different of Macs available to buy. Which means the amount of choice the the consumer gets to have on mac is very low while on PC some companies even let the consumer customize the whole build of the computer and if they didn't want to do that there are still hundreds of premade computers from many brands. In Mac the user does not get the choice of parts that go into their Mac. Most current Macs come with a Intel GPU which are considered not to be very strong. If they wanted to change the GPU to something else it would not be possible. While if the consumer bought a PC there are many many different pre made builds will have different parts for the consumers liking. Also if they buy a PC they have more choices of compatible add-ons such as keyboards and mice. Some people think that All Macs are the highest quality builds so many different choices are not needed. The current MacBook the newest laptop model that apple released there will be a max 2.9 GHZ cpu processor and a intel 5300 GPU. While on the Alienware 15 a pc laptop like the macbook for the about the same price there is a max 3.2 GHZ cpu processor and a GTX 965 GPU. Both of these pieces of hardware are better than the ones found in the macbook and are in a laptop sold for about the same price. So, saying Mac has the highest quality builds isn't
PCs vs Macs is a discussion that has gone on since 1984. Here is a little background; the PCs or personal computer was invented by IBM in 1981. The first Mac or Macintosh computer was developed by Apple in 1984. Today I will be comparing these two computer types in three ways. The first way will be in terms of security protection.
For decades the digital war between Macintoshes (Macs) and Personal Computers (PCs) has been a never ending struggle to see who ranks the better competition. Because Microsoft has dominated the software field, more and more businesses use PCs rather than Macs. But does that make the PC better than the Mac. Let 's take a trip back in time and review the evolution of a computer company. It 's not IBM or Microsoft. This company is Apple Computers, Incorporated.
Recently, Mac switched its central processing unit (CPU) to Intel creating a new competitive platform between the Macs and the PCs. Since the processors are now the same, the argument is: Macs are better than PCs as they can run their own operating system OS X as well as Microsoft’s operating systems XP &
The argument we often hear from PC users is that the cost of a Mac is too high and they can purchase a machine with the same power as a Mac for less. Although the cost of a Mac is relatively higher about 400-600 in the long run the higher cost and the value of the Mac will outweigh the pc. Lets take the new 27” IMac into consideration. First off the amount of pixels used is well above and beyond the HD quality of 1080p. To purchase another computer screen with this amount of pixilation will require a screen larger than 30” and with a price tag well above 1000 dollars. Secondly it ships with a wireless keyboard standard and with the new wireless multi touch mouse. The first desktop of any
Apple and Microsoft personally, are two different types of computer designs with their own strengths and weaknesses. Many of their differences are purely cosmetic, but others are major, including their built-in system tools, available applications, and overall usability.
Many people would consider PCs better than Macs because they include in their argument the money aspect. Macs are not "overpriced". If they were overpriced, they would not be selling. If they were underpriced, they would be selling, but the company would be suffering losses. Apple is both selling Macs as fast as they can make them, and is not losing money. Therefore, in my opinion, based on the great quality of the products, Macs are fairly priced. If we completely eliminate the money factor and only compare product to product it's fair to say that Apple Macs are the best made, best designed, great build quality, consistent Operating System in the market.
The PC and Mac can do all the same activities. Whether you want to browse the internet, check your e-mail, instant message, create documents or presentations, or listen, edit, create music or video, both a PC and a Mac can do all of these things correspondingly well. Mac and Windows are both compatible with handheld devices. Unlike the past when PCs were more open to viruses, the Mac is also open to such. To protect both devices from attacks, they updated with an anti-virus software. Both can be used by home owners, students, businessmen and so many more people. They can be made-to-order to a client’s preference; they both have voice commands, and use the mouse, maps and keyboard as their interface. Regardless of these similarities,
I definitely agree with the studies between Mac and PC users, Mac users being the “snobs” or more so the people who care for their image. In my opinion, back when this study was conducted actual computer usage, along with pros and cons of either, the PC or the Mac were disregarded. Instead, imagine and whats in style was taken into account. Mac’s were the new thing, the new technology, the new in. Everywhere you looked from advertisements, to the computers used on TV shows were Macs, or looked like Apple’s Macs like the identical “Pear” computer on iCarly. Mac computers became the new trend that everyone wanted to follow, or at least anyone who cared to fit in, who cared about their image. These were the same people that whitened their teeth
