We’ve all complained about Windows Updates, they take too long, they’re glitchy, and they happen way too often. Yes, you can easily tweak the driver for two buttons or simply plug in a normal mouse, but a firing squad is too lenient for the imbecile who decided that pressing Ctrl and left-click was a better out-of-the-box solution than a single press of the right button. Yes, we know Macs are meant to be so simple your gran could partition the hard disk while solving the Countdown conundrum but do they really need to be dumbed down to use only one mouse button? A chimp with Attention Deficit Disorder could master two buttons, but Apple’s (seemingly not ironically named) Mighty Mouse resorts to a single mouse click by default.
If you’re even half-way serious about gaming, you need a PC. “Nvidia graphics options for Apple desktops and notebooks can only be purchased through Apple or as Apple update kits,” warns Nvidia’s website. And even if you did want to upgrade your Mac’s graphics, you probably couldn’t anyway. The PC has a near-monopoly on all the decent graphics hardware. Second, you can’t customize or upgrade your equipment to grow with you. First, most affordable Mac’s won’t have the graphics card requirements to run your favorite games. PCs are a gamer’s dream while Mac is still lacking. If you’re looking for great design, PC manufacturers have really stepped up their game in this department over the last few years. We would be doing a disservice to anyone purchasing a PC to speak about the lowest pricing options because they are available for purchase anywhere, brand new from the box, with a one-year warranty and tech support at no additional cost. Of course, you can find refurbished options but we’ll explain why that’s not exactly a great idea further down the list. The cheapest Mac you can buy, the Mac Mini costs $799 brand new from Apple. Macs routinely cost more than their PC equivalents.
There still isn’t a PC maker on the planet that can hold a candle to Apple when it comes to product design. But, is it worth it compared to PC support? Depending on where you buy your computer you’ll receive excellent support at a lower cost like Best Buy’s Geek Squad. The tech support is phenomenal, there’s no denying that.
This is definitely one reason that a PC is better than a Mac.Īpple does give you 90-days free for tech-support on its products. Ranging from $99-$379 for the service plan, then you pay additional fees if your device needs worked on. When you purchase an already high-priced setup, you then must choose if you’d also like to purchase AppleCare+ for your Mac. Apple customers are not stranger to additional costs.
