Journay Entry #6 - Are you a Right Clicka or an iBook Flippa?


After researching the various differences between Mac and PC, I believe the Mac is far better then the PC. First of all, the overall speed of the Mac and its PowerMac G3 Processor is much faster than the PC's Pentium II proeccessor. Even when it comes to activities requiring large amounts of processor memory, the Mac performs about 10 to 30% faster. In addition to speed, the Mac also has more built in features than the PC making it overall superior.

Some examples of why Mac is better then Pc is because the PC is more troublesome.For a PC, you need to download all sorts of programs and usually they come in trial and merely take up hard drive space. However for a Mac , it comes with all the programs it needs so you don't have to download as much as the PC. Also if you decide to upgrade the PC to Windows Vista its like surgery and there are so many procedures such as updating the graphics card and memory. There are just so many downsides to the PC and that's why Mac is simply better.

There is no doubt that the Mac system is better than the PC however, I personally would choose PC over Mac. Sure, PC can easily get viruses, spyware and popups but I don't really mind having these minor problems. The main reason why I like the PC over the Mac is because the PC can run many things the Mac can not. One of the main reasons I even use a computer is for homework and for games and the Mac can not satisfy these needs. I'm not sure if this has changed however the Mac could never run various games on the PC and could not run programs such as Microsoft Word. I love playing games and using Microsoft Word for homework and since the Mac can not do these simple tasks, I prefer the PC.

I think a PC would equally perform as fast as a Mac as long as you keep the computer away from really big files and programs...but really good advantages and disadvantages mentioned.
Great entry Kenrick!

Hey KENELM (Sorry, wanted to put that in capitals because someone thought your name was Kenrick :P)

Anyhow, I think that your entry was very accurate except for one part. The Mac can actually run Microsoft Word, but it is true that it cannot run many games. I personally think that a Mac is perfect for any type of work and that it is like a business oriented computer. I also prefer the PC though because I also love to play games.

I agree that the PC is better because there is more support for it. It can also run games, which the Mac can't do. I think that the Mac is more suited for work rather than entertainment.
