Normally i would say PC will remain far superior (it is now) but since Steve Jobs died the company has been free to finally start making their computers functional not just aesthetically pleasing. However it will still take a long time for apple to catch up to the level of PCs.

It depends on how you look at it. For work, school and simple tasks that kepp you organized, GO MAC! Also if you want some of the light app store games. But if you want a heavy machine to game and game GO PC!!!

I guess it depends on what your doing, because if you were writing documents and doing . researches a mac would be way easier since u can have many tabs open just by swiping with a track-pad,but if you were to do gaming i don't think a mac would be suitable for that, games take up a lot of space and it makes the mac heat up quickly,so yeah it depends on what your doing, but still macs are portable and are fast running

fraid that ain't true anymore, macs have been getting viruses now, just not as many simply because they only take up 10% of the market.

Actually the rumor of the PC being "targeted" more is just a rumor, The differance is that the mac doesnt let him through their system.Mac's secure their network while PC's you need spyware and firewalls because they dont provide them for you...so I'm saving hundreds of dollars a year and you're spending hundreds on spyware and still being hit with trojan viruses....owned?

It's not that they have superior antivirus programming, it's just that not alot of people want to write viruses for such a small market share.

I felt my IQ dropping whilst I read that, there is so much facepalm."Mac doesn't let him through their system" are you stupid?PC is targeted more because THERE ARE MORE OF THEM. Get that into your thick skull. Would you rather get more infections than less? MORE > LESS.Also, there is windows firewall which is perfectly fine. AVG anti-virus is free, and is one of the best. There are plenty of free antispyware programs on the PC too, Malwarebytes anti-malware, spybot search and destroy, Super ANTISpyware. Please, do your research.......owned?

The wording of the question indicates, to me, a hardware comparison which isn't technically accurate anymore, since Mac switched it's processors over from PowerPC to Intel in 2005. At any rate the PC's were superior to the PowerPC for a variety of reasons. What drives me crazy about Macs is having only one mouse button. I've used PCs for my whole life so I'm accustomed to the two button system. Since Windows dominates the market, this is probably going to be a continued issue for possible converts. Additionally as far as the OS goes, it's become too specialized and overly niche based. Basically Mac has focused all their efforts on making their platform media based. As opposed to Linux and Windows which continue to try and make their OSes more versatile.

I agree with pvtNobody here, the mac OSes just don't stack up. They're made for simplicity but without the ability to adapt and change at a level as the Windows and Linux operating systems it'll lag behind. Linux was primarily built around the Unix model:Make a kernelMake softwareApply software to kernelPolish into an OSThe only reason Mac lost its only chance to beat windows is because back in the earlier days everything that was developed for the mac operating system had to be developed EXCLUSIVELY for the mac operating system. Including software, hardware, and even peripherals. This makes it very hard to obtain specs for the open-source community and the great internet god flows from the open-source community.Before we see Mac rise to power, believe me, we'll see Linux or Unix do just that.On a side note, most servers and even the most powerful PC in the world runs Linux. It's versatile and easy to change due to the way it operates. So it's easy for enterprises to change it to fit their needs.

Ok so now the mac is compatable with every mouse out there ANDthe touchpad that comes with it?-comes with right click and left click featues-use two fingers to scroll left-right or top-bottom-use three fingers and swipe left to go back or right to go forward a page-four fingers swipe up to bring up your applications -four fingers swipe down and it clears all documents to the side and pick which you wanna work on. good for lots of tabs and windows

Not going to even attempt to argue the last point as it would take to long but mac's have shipped with two button mice for ages, all with four way scroll
Debate: Will Mac Ever Beat PC?
Side: PC is by far better.

Mac's ship with two click mice, they have for a long time now. In all actuality, the standard or stock Mac mouse has 4 buttons and can scroll vertical, horizontal or both at the same time for circular motion. The Mac OS is built for the average consumer, but also, if you know Unix, the Mac allows you to be more productive as a power user than windows, and I mean much more productive. Also, OS X may seem like too simple and gimmicky, but as soon as your comfortable with the mac, it can do everything you need to do and more, easier than with Windows. Windows is cluttered and not thought out as well. For one easy example, look at how difficult it is to just delete or uninstall an application in windows. Does it really need to consume that much time???
Debate: Will Mac Ever Beat PC?
Side: PC is by far better.

Who ever said that I was a windows user? I do use windows for some applications but I prefer Linux. I don't have much experience with Mac, but I've never used a Mac that had more than one mouse button. I've never really seen that Mac had any advantages for me over Linux or Windows. Because Windows is so widely preferred by a wide variety of organizations I don't see Mac gaining much steam over PCs.
Debate: Will Mac Ever Beat PC?
Side: PC is by far better.

Well, you didn't say you weren't. Most people are. I wasn't making an argument against anything either, I was making an argument FOR OS X... Don't get your panties in a bunch (Oh wait, who said you wear panties!?)Seriously, Apple has had a two click mouse since around 2002, and has had two click functionality in the OS since OS X's release.  You don't see Mac gaining popularity because Windows is used by businesses and organizations. You should try to tell someone that's looking for a car, that car's aren't worth the money, and that they should instead buy a forklift because businesses have forklifts. The thing is, that when the computer was first made useful and affordable, people started bringing them home for work reasons. Windows was brought home, that's what people understood at the time, and a lot of people that don't think about it, still use Windows. It's a fine OS, sure, but isn't there something better out there??? Yes, there's the consumer's computer, the Macintosh. That's their niche right now, and it will grow and grow in strength because people are growing up with computers in the home... they know what it's like and they want something easier to deal with. Apple makes the perfect computer for this market, and people are waking up to it. To say that Apple isn't picking up steam is to say that the automobile will not challenge the industry for people that make horse carriages... in 1898. OS X does have something that Linux doesn't have, and it may mean little to you, but to people that don't want to sit @ a terminal all night will agree with me. OS X is hassle free (While I admit that it's not perfect, or should I say, far from it), it is still easier to manage than Windows and Linux combined. Also, linux is unstable, I don't care what you have to say about that, I know quite well, how touchy linux can be. Note: I'm not "disrespecting" your outlook on this issue. I'm simply saying that Linux is not for people who don't want to dedicate time to an OS. Linux is a very "hands on" operating system, and it's one of the reasons I love it, but when I have too much on my hands, I just don't want to mess with a computer that needs to be messed with.
Debate: Will Mac Ever Beat PC?
Side: PC is by far better.

Your metaphor with the forklift is completely off. The reason why Windows is so much more popular than Mac is not because Windows is better. It's because that is what people are comfortable and familiar with. The average consumer would rather stick with what they know they can make work, rather than try something that may or may not be better. I honestly don't know that much about OSX; in fact I may even agree that the OS is simpler if I ever did use it. However, because businesses are not likely to switch from Windows anytime soon a huge portion of the population will stay with Windows if only because that's what they are used to working with. The gaming industry is not going to get smaller. Because Apple refuses to acknowledge this, they will always fall behind in PC sales. As more and more of the current generation, the generation that has grown up with video games, become adults and gain increased buying power the availability of gaming will continue to be a huge issue. Additionally most consumers will not put forth the effort to install a new OS on their system. So as long as Windows is the default installation on most computer manufactures Mac won't have a chance at overcoming the Windows market.

I've never said that Mac wasn't a better or at least equivalent product; or perhaps I have but I now rescind any earlier statement to that effect. Apple does make quality computers as far as I can tell. And now that dual booting or replacement of the OSX is not only possible but fairly easy Macs may well get more market. Still I have to disagree with the assertion that people will buy a Mac just to turn around and install Windows. The ability to install a new OS is not well advertised. In fact I've only heard of this capability from Mac power users. All this adds up to this, which will be the last I have to say on the matter, Apple may have a quality product but they aren't doing themselves any favors by simply bashing Windows. Rather than try to convince the word that Microsoft is evil, Windows doesn't work, and Mac is the best thing that ever happened, they should be displaying their product's advantages. Rather than showing off their flashy OS they should let people know that though OSX comes standard the user has the option to use any OS they choose; even then any user that plans on using Windows is more likely to simply buy another brand of PC that has Windows pre-installed. Though Mac may be adding gaming support they still have not met the level of other platforms which means that converts will be few and far between until there are more compelling reasons for more people to switch. In short Apple has several hurdles that need to be overcome before they can hope to gain a larger market share, first they need to increase the public's knowledge of the advantages of using a Mac versus any other system; rather than simply pointing out Window's faults. Second Mac needs make their product seem more appealing to a wider audience, it does little good if most people assume that the OS X is only good for editing pictures and video. Though neither of these hurdles are insurmountable I have a hard time believing that either will be for a long time to come. Windows is simply too imbued in the workings of not only business but society in general.

As far as dual booting goes, not really necessary anymore. I run Parallels on my mac so I have can have OSX, Windows & Linux (ubuntu) running simultaneously. You do have to create virtual partitions do to this but there is a mechanism to share files across the partitions (virtual folders).I usually just run OSX though.

PC has more sales and how often do you see a PC commercial. MAC spends so much cash on advertising because they SUCK!

how does that make sense? more commercials=lower quality? maybe its cause the sales of macbooks is ACTUALLY 7% more, factcheck.com. maybe its cause they have more money then PC, obviously cause they sell more. maybe its cause theyre nice and they dont want people to use Windows which still supports anceint software cause theyre not brave enough to actually erase the CRAP and upgrade.My uncle got the new windows 8 for 100 dollars....just an upgrade. whatd it give him?-faster log ins,louder sounds.thats litterally it

Actually I only use PC for my graphics and programming. MAC crashes all the time when I use Adobe.
Debate: Will Mac Ever Beat PC?

obviously you know NOTHING about computers.-adobe is the biggest piece of crap out there but you can still format it to work for mac, it even works better on mac for any standard-adobe is ancient and the mac will originally not like it as much as PC cause its like calling a morse-code-sensor with a cell phone. its alot easier on a PC cause theyre older and outdated.-but if you want it to work as well and even better on a mac, all you gotta do is re-install it (takes 1min litterally) and rightclick on the icon, say format.

Excuse me? The Macintosh 128K was released in the January of 1984-the first Macintosh to run a graphics-based user interface, while Windows 1.0-the first PC to run a graphics-based user interface, was released in NOVEMBER 1985: after the Mac! How's that for PC innovation?

Mac is amazing to anyone who has hated Windows their entire f-ing life, but never knew what to do til they found mac. rbedi100 does have a point, as well. However, I just set up three PCs (two laptops and a desktop) on http://www.linucity.com that would easily beat out a mac on any scale, for a total of about 2 grand, and this is 2/3 the cost of what it would have been for macs. Windows sucks, Apple is good with some kinks that only happened because Steve Jobs is a horrible businessman, and Linux is the wild-card in that you can't always trust it to be what you want. However, if you're willing to put in the time and research you can get the best performance with Linux-based systems. And, if you want your old OS for something you can install it in a virtual machine or build a Hackintosh PC (or both).

It really depends on who captures more niches. Right now Mac means Apple. However, PC is broad and encompasses way more of the marketplace. If Apple can find a way of taking over certain niches such as computer gaming, I believe they will have a chance, however I don't see that happening anytime soon.

actually mac surpasses PC greatly in my experiance.-mac can run off its graphics card through the browser which adds better graphics and memory and quality to the game while PC you can not. you need to have a downloaded game to do it. and still, it rarely works- the only way i think mac could be worse in gaming is the reason that pc games dont work on a mac...to most "uneducated PC users".The mac can actually run AS a pc. in fact in running windows 7 on my mac RIGHT now just to sample it. its like it is a PC basically. -so summary:mac actually beats pc in graphics, quality, and speed for games

Mac will NEVER beat PC because Mac is a product of Apple.Apple is a Marketing company that pushes technological products. They do nothing to contribute to the industry that is innovative or creative. (Other than creative Marketing and creative form factor design)It amazes me that they are still able to survive in the Technology Industry at all, let alone actually turning profits. It's all due to their marketing schemes and building on already established technological ideas.iPod and iTunes saved them financially, but they didn't invent the file sharing concept and storing mass music on a hard drive (let alone a portable music player). They merely stepped into play and became a middle man between the music industry and consumer. They did not invent the cell phone, and mobile web browsing and cell phones have been around for years before they got into that market.They have contributed nothing except building on existing ideas and trends. Sure you can make an argument that they improve these technologies, but you can't justify their price points and constant upgrades/updates on their own products.Mac would only surpass PC if advancements on personal computing leveled off...and if that happened, they would not be on top for very long because someone else would come up with a new ORIGINAL idea.As much as I get frustrated with MS and third party products, they have kept the business world moving and have employed many many people and have ensured jobs for the foreseeable future. Apple just offers employment at the Apple store.

OK. Interesting point. What ORIGINAL ideas have Microsoft come up with?
Debate: Will Mac Ever Beat PC?

Apple builds on trends with great success, though. It popularised music players quicker than anyone else did, and nice shiny iPod with its scroll wheel is at least improving on an idea. That's advancing the industry in some ways, and Bill Gates and Microsoft have been accused of riding on the backs of others' ideas as well, so I don't really think your argument has reason.

"They do nothing to contribute to the industry that is innovative or creative."Interesting take. Especially since they use an open-source platform in FreeBSD and give their code back to the community. And they use WebKit for Safari and give that back to the community. What does PC give back? Right. Nothing.PC advancements have leveled off. Ask Dell. That's the exact reason Apple is eating into Microsoft's OS market share. They are doing something different than no other manufacturer is doing.They are a marketing machine. But that's a cultural difference from the world you think you know. Their marketing is superb but it only works because their hardware and software integration are the recipe for success. Apple consistently forgoes the better specs (which you seem to think are all that matters) for a better user experience. That's the key no one else has figured out in their race for better specs. Remove the bullshit, get your users comfortable, and guarantee that your hardware is compatible with your software. It's a winning combination.

Whether Mac or PC is better depends on what one wants to use the computer for.Hardcore gamers will always stick with PC because it can be upgraded well.People who only use computers casually will stick with Mac.Overall though, PC is better because once one learns how to use it, it can be put to many different uses.

The Mac is like a tricycle. It will never fall on it's side. Nobody dies on a Mac, you always have steady speed and it does not let you customize so you don't ruin it. Anyone can drive a MacThe PC is like a motorcycle. It has unlimited choices. It's hard to drive, but if you learn how to do it, you'll easily reach 150 mph in a few seconds. Many people die in them because it's hard to handle. You can customize it anyway you like. Only people capable of driving transmission at insane speeds with nothing to protect them from falling manage to see it's full potential. The rest of the people die out due to natural selection or quit and buy Macs.I'll admit it makes me a bit biased, but I'm a gamer and all my games work great on my PC.

No it will not. Macs are a fad which will fade after their overly expensive, white and shiny gimmick runs its course. PCs evolve quicker and do not make their users elitist snobs. Of course, they hold a large market stake with the iPod and iPhone but I believe in the long run other more competitive products will edge these pricey gadgets out.
