In the case of a Mac computer, the hardware is integrated which makes keeping up with the latest components such as better CPUs, and graphics card unavailable. Furthermore, in Intel's PC vs. Mac article (Intel makes components for both Mac and PC), Intel states, "Apple's range of product is narrower than that of PCs" even though the Mac system "can be robustly outfitted" (which means add in more gadgets such as web cams and microphones )(Intel). Though the Macs already have web cams and microphones on the system, PC users can surpass these tools and gadgets with even better high definition cameras and studio quality microphones with one quick install.
