Windows is better than Mac

1. Runs on all the hard ware!"Mac actually has better hardware then Windows. They have been shown to made out of stronger metals and plastics and last much longer then its PC. (this also relates to point 3). It has also been shown its internal parts are stronger and less susceptible to damage then their Windows opponents"-opponent What my opponent is forgetting is that because windows runs on any PC is that you can get components that run equally well to mac and are just as durable. You can buy hardware that runs even better a lot of the time."And its a LIE when you say it cannot be customized. You can buy the default, sure, but online you can actually change what comes with the mac, etc."-opponent. I said you are restricted to the hardware apple provides for you. You only have an option to choose between the few hardware options apple provides for each component. but with a PC you can customize everything from intel to amd processors to the hundreds of different video cards you can choose with a PC. with macs you only have a few hardware options but you have thousands on a PC. with the mac pro you are spending 2500 bucks and the highest video card option is two 5770's. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! IF I AM GOING TO SPEND OVER 2500 BUCKS FOR A COMPUTER IT BETTER BE WAY BETTER THAN THOSE OUTDATED 5770'S IT SHOULD HAVE A NVIDIA GTX 680 FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!2. More software"This is for documents and such, correct? This argument is now invalid as Mac has many programs that either come in a package with the updates or you can buy other products. one examples is parallels, which mimics a Windows computer. Another is bootcamp, which is literally Windows on a macThese applications mean you can do things only Windows can do, but on a mac. And then you can do things only macs can do on the... mac. No mac programs have come out for windows, and as I later explain Mac does things windows has never had an edge in." Let me first start off saying no this is not just for documents and such but this is for almost every game on PC. most games aren't compatible with mac. If you were going to use windows on a mac to begin with then you should have gotten a windows computer and saved yourself the money. almost all features on mac have a windows equivalent or are going to with windows 8. For example Icloud has an equivalents such as google music for syncing your music in the cloud, google docs for syncing your documents, and google contacts for syncing your contacts. There are many more equivalents to mac programs that run on windows too. The microsoft app store is the windows equivalent to the mac appstore. As you can see there are many equivalents too mac on windows.3. Cost"I actually cannot argue it costs less. However cheaper =/= better. Mac is much higher quality. First, Macs get less viruses and therefore are less of a hassle, and later I show all the benefits Macs have make them worth the money [7].Oh and remember how I proved Macs have better parts? Well Macs last literally for years. I personally have one from 2004 I think, and it works just as well now as it did then... seems slow now as I have newer macs though haha. I have seen many others last for long lengths of time. And guess what? When a PC breaks... you need a new one. Lets use your data: mac lasts for years... PC breaks, 500+500 = 1000, you said a Mac costs 700-1000, therefore the cost is the same, or the mac is slightly cheaper."-opponent I will agree that macs get less viruses and windows is the more vulnerable platform however with a good security suite for your PC most of these viruses can be detected ahead of time and removed if you get them on your computer providing you have a good antivirus such as AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials. But I will agree with you windows is more susceptible to viruses. PC is the cheaper platform, sure macs last for years but PCs can last for years too i have had my windows desktop for like 3-4 years now and only spent like 400 bucks on it. I agree macs last longer than PCs but i find it to be rather afforable to spend 300-500 dollars on a PC every 3-4 years but macs last about 7-8 years at least. so lets say we spend 400 dollars on a desktop every 4 year, so that would be 2 pcs every 7-8 years which would give us 400+400= 800 and you are going to be spending 1000 on a mac probably so 1000 dollar mac minus 800 dollars for pc's that comes to 200 dollars less than a mac."It's not just how fast it runs benchmarks. It's mostly because it just runs without the viruses, spam, crashes and constant need for support, reboots, upgrades, defrags and maintenance without which Windows simply stops working after a few weeks. I only have to reboot my desktop Mac when I return from a trip during which I turned it off! It runs smoothly for months at a time. . . . [Windows give] [n]o backtalk, no stupid popup boxes in meaningless technical gibberish, no viruses, no slow operation, no spy ware, no crashes, no complex installations, no reloading operating systems, no taking 5 minutes just to turn off, no nothing except getting stuff done. . . . Everything just makes sense on Mac. This becomes even more obvious after learning the Mac properly and forgetting the six-finger Windows work-around's you used when you first upgraded."-opponent. you make it sound like windows gets viruses the first time the user uses it, and you are forgetting that macs are also susceptible to viruses. Spam is not dependant on any one operation system it is simply emailed to you within the browser and can be easily solved by a spam filter. Windows does crash but its not that often sure windows will crash every now and then but the new windows operating systems reduce this greatly and it doesn't happen as nearly as often. PC's don't require a constant need for support. Support for windows computers is every now and again when something bad happens but nowhere near a constant level of support. sure you need to reboot pc every now and again but its not like it happens all the time you make it sounds like it constantly needs restarting to get back to a efficient state but you really only have to restart it when something bad happens or its going slow which isn't as often as you make sound like. you don't need to upgrade a pc that often i have had my laptop for 2 years without upgrading its not that often and when you do need to upgrade it, you can actually do it without voiding the warranty unlike mac. You really only need to defrag your pc like once a year and its really not that big of a deal. I can safely say that windows will not stop working after a few weeks if you don't do those things. you seriouly think windows installations are complex, there simple as can be you just click next until its intalling and then you run it. Windows doesn't take 5 minutes just to shutdown it maybe takes like 30 seconds at max. you have exadgerated literally all the bad qualities of windows to outrageous means that don't happen that often. I made my point. good day.
