Resolved: Overall, it is a better value to buy a PC rather than a Mac

Rebuttals"Macs aren't limited in choice anymore than a PC is; Macs and PCs use the same hardware. Both are equipped with the same Intel processor, hard drive, memory, and use a motherboard made by the same manufacturer. So in regards to hardware choice, Macs are at least equal to PCs. "That is not the point. Yes, they use the same parts that some PCs use, but there are less Macs to choose from. The only Macs there are limited in hardware choice. For example, you can name any processor and there is 99.9% chance you can find a PC running it. This cannot be said for a Mac. Macs usually use only high end parts, whereas there are both PCs with low end and high end parts. The range of PCs are almost unlimited, so you can choose one that fits your needs, rather than overpaying. (1)The source my opponent was using was only comparing ONE particular PC with a Mac, saying it uses the same Intel processor and motherboard. The thing is, there are much more PCs! (2) "Less software may be compatible with a Mac, but this is because of the same restrictions on programming that result in Macs being more secure and having less viruses than PCs. "There are no "programming restrictions" that make Macs more secure. You can program anything for Macs, just like Windows. My opponent has conceded my point that there are less software made for Mac. My opponent claims that Macs are more secure than Windows, but that is not because of the "restrictions to programming", but simply because there are less people using Mac, and a virus maker would not waste their time developing viruses for Mac because of the few people using it. It is easy to install free antivirus and firewall. (3)My opponent must also remember that a computer running Linux is also a PC. Linux is the most secure OS. "It's easier to to customize a PC, but the Mac is already perfect (4) so it doesn't need customization. " My opponent has conceded this point. "Mac is already perfect" is not a valid argument. The source he sites is actually in favor of PC, so that would actually benefit me. (4) (5) "There are so many keyboard shortcuts in Mac one couldn't possibly ask for more. (5)" Won't you even bother refuting my argument? Quoting my last round, "In any Windows application, you can access any menu with 2-3 keystrokes. With Mac apps you’re limited to the shortcuts chosen by the app developer". "Pro already conceded that it's possible to install Linux on a Mac. "The point is it is easier to dual boot on a PC. "Macs are better quality than PCs" Would you actually make an argument? Simply "Macs are better than PCs" is not an argument. My Opponent's SourcesTaking a look at my opponent's sources, source number 2 was never used, as he did not make an argument with it. Source number for was promoting PCs, thus actually benefiting me. So my opponent only ends up with 3 sources. Grammar Errors "Macs are better quality than PCs. " - "Macs have better quality than PCs""Less software may be compatible with a Mac, but this is because of the same restrictions on programming that result in Macs being more secure and having less viruses than PCs. " That makes no sense at all. I think my opponent means "some restrictions". Conclusion The resolution is affirmed.
