Mac notebook users have always been in debate with PC users on which computer is better: a Mac or a PC notebook computer. Of course there are differences between the two computers but of course there are also clear disadvantages and advantages to both.
When choosing between a PC and Mac, it is important to realize your needs for a computer. For example, you can look at why you usually use your computer, for pleasure or for work? Will you use Internet and download various files and programs? Are you an advanced or novice computer user, etc.
A prominent and large concern when comparing a PC with a Mac notebook is their operating systems. The Mac notebook uses Mac OS X, which is a very diverse O/S. It can handle simultaneous running of large applications. However, PC users who are used to Windows find difficulty in transitioning.
If we talk about computer software, you’ll find more variety for a PC notebook than you’ll for the Mac. It is because the majority people in the world use PCs, so the need for PC software is higher. But the good news is that you will find many of the popular PC programs like MS Office, security software, etc customized for the Mac.
PC notebooks also get the lead when it comes to customization. PCs from some vendors like Gateway, HP and Dell are much more customizable to your choice than Mac notebooks. If you are looking for a computer, which can give you just exactly what you want, you should get a PC notebook.
When we look at Mac notebooks, they run a more secure operating system compared to Windows. PC users have long been suffering from Trojan and hacker attacks that have crashed their operating systems many times. Furthermore, more bug-free and virus-free software is available for Macs whether it is word processing software, game or some other program.
When it comes to cost, Mac notebooks are more expensive than PC computers. The cost factor often becomes a big issue when deciding whether to buy a PC or a Mac.

You can go to a computer store and ask an expert, he can explain to you pros and cons for each. Take time to familiarizw yourself with both computer platforms before making your decision.
