Which desktop computer or laptop should I buy, a PC or a Mac?

January 23rd, 2013 3 comments

I use Photoshop, MS Office, database softwares like Filemaker, Pagemaker, some home video editing, some games (not the heavy ones like some diehard gamers do), surf the internet for about 6-8 hours, download pictures, music and video. So which should I buy a Mac or a PC; a desktop or a laptop? WHY?

I have other considerations besides the OS (I’ve had experience with both Mac OS and Windows) like hardware durability, compatibility with external devices like handycam, digital camera, mp3 players, etc.

Please suggest a specific brand and model.

Macs are great I tell you.

I have been using Mac for more than 12 years now. For the last 3 years I’ve also been using a PC (w/ windows OS) only because of some softwares I like that aren’t available for Mac OS. But I would always prefer using a Mac anytime anywhere. One more thing besides the fabulous Mac OS, Mac hardwares are very reliable and durable.

I would recommend any of the new MACs with Intel core duo processors for the applications you are using:

for laptop try the Macbooks:

for desktop try the iMacs:
