pc is better than mac

Let me begin by thanking fouru for starting this debate. Hopefully this will be useful to college students and others in the market for a computer. *Case Con: Rebuttals* ======== Contention 1: Windows is more compatible. ========= "PC is better than mac because WINDOWS IS MORE COMPATIBLE. Let's face it people, all software out there support windows… Windows is more customizable, you can make your windows look like mac, linux, and much more." Both of these points may be true, but they are simply irrelevant because Macs can run windows natively. [1] ======== Contention 2: Windows has better keyboard shortcuts. ========= "Do you want less clicks??? Well windows have Better keyboard shortcuts" This assertion is simply unwarranted. Macs shortcuts are just as good, if not better, than those used on a windows PC. [2] *Case Con* ========= Contention 1: Macs are less likely to get viruses than PCs. ========= PCs are notorious for how susceptible they are to getting viruses. [3]-[4] This has been a continuous problem for windows based PCs and will likely continue to be a problem in the foreseeable future. However, most of the viruses out there simply don't affect Macs. Therefore, Macs are better because they are less likely to get these harmful and destructive viruses. ========= Contention 2: Macs are more reliable than PCs. ========= Try as hard as you want, it is very difficult to crash a Mac. I suppose this could be done if you were to put lots of effort into it, but it still remains true that PCs are more likely to stall, crash, and experience system failures than Macs. Consequently, many different people have worked together to try to overcome these problems. [5]-[6] This has been a particularly pernicious problem given how integral computer use is to the lives of so many people. If you are a college student in the middle of writing a paper and your PC crashes you're out of luck unless you backed up your data on some external source. Therefore, Macs are simply better than PCs because they are more dependable when you have important work to get done. ========= Contention 3: Macs are more user friendly than PCs. ========= Macs have a much more intuitive operating system that doesn't load your computer up with lots of useless programs. [7] Moreover, the general design of Apple computers and products makes them much easier to use for both the young and the old. For example, Apple is releasing a very interesting new mouse that is far more intuitive and easier to operate than most traditional mice that PCs use. [8] ========= Contention 4: Macs are more stylish than PCs. ========= Style is certainly a subjective quality, but most people will agree that the overall aesthetic design of Mac computers is superior to that of PCs. [9] They are built much simpler and have an overall uniform composure that makes them look far more sleek and sophisticated than traditional bulky PCs. ========= Contention 5: Macs have better customer service than PCs. ========= The experts and the customers both agree that Apple computers have much better customer service than windows PCs. According to the Forrester Research's 2008 customer experience index approximately 80% of all Mac owners gave apple a "good" customer service rating for their service of Mac computers. Indeed, no other brands of PCs even came close to this. [10] So, not only are Apple's Macs more reliable than PC's, the customer service is better when you actually do have a problem. ======= Conclusion ======= Macs are not only more stylish than PCs, they are much more reliable, easier to operate, and less prone to getting viruses. Moreover, my opponent has failed to provide any compelling argument in favor of the resolution that PCs are better than Macs. Therefore, we can reasonably conclude that PCs are objectively not better than Macs. (Resolution Negated) ---References--- [1] http://www.apple.com... [2] http://support.apple.com...
