We mean "personal-computer" when we talk about PCs, which is quite a broad term. All kinds of personal computers are, after all, your smartphone or laptop or even your calculator. . But originally, the term we are using now meant "IBM PC-compatible" and this was related to IBM computers that might run certain os We tend to think of PCs nowadays as computers running Windows or Linux operating systems, and those computers have been separated from Macintosh computers. But we're not talking chalk and cheese in terms of hardware these days. Camembert and cheddar are more different... For the record, we think Macbooks are former in this analogy). And some people, of course, prefer one over the other—but why? we will look at some of the reasons for delving into certain statistics. So, the first statistic we'll look at tells us that in terms of market share, Windows OS is way out in front. It has a massive 88.53 percent share of the global market at present. 8.75% is on Mac OS. Meanwhile, Linux is third at 2.27 percent. Although Microsoft has been feverishly pushing people to use Windows 10, its latest operating system, more users are still on Windows 7 around the world. Windows 10, however, is catching up and should be in the lead by 2020. As for how many people in the world are currently using Mac compared to PC, it is said that Windows was actively used by over one billion people in 2017, with about 400 million of those people using Windows 10.
On the other hand, Apple said that the total number of Mac users was about 100 million. When so many people love Apple's OS, Why is it used by so few people? Well, one thing is the cost. A few years ago, it was about $1,300 for an average Mac. That was comparable to the $600 spent on a PC by the average person. If we look at Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro line-top, the cost is $2,799.00. Meanwhile, the Surface Book of Microsoft costs about the same and there are plenty of other high-end laptops out there, but the way the PC does, Apple doesn't exactly have a bargain basement. The iMacPro is currently on sale for $4,999, if we are talking about desktops. Once again, There are PC desktops out there, like Microsoft's Surface Studio, that cost about the same amount of money, but there are many, many budget desktops that the average person can afford, while the smallest, cheapest iMac is still around $1,300. But you're a gamer, perhaps. In 2018, we looked at lists of the best gaming desktop computers and did not list any of Apple's machines. Many of the greatest gaming machines ranged from $900 - $5,000, with some reviewers saying that the Dell XPS Tower SE was the best of the budget gaming PCs at around $550.
"For gaming concerning Mac vs PC, the website TechAdvisor sums it up like this, "This category is not even close. If you like gaming, then a Desktop Pc is the best choice over a Mac, and the title of a 2017 article by Digital Trends should answer sufficiently, "Why gaming on macOS is dead forever and never coming back." If you look at the gaming statistics of the popular gaming services team for March 2018, the figures show that around 99 percent of gamers used Windows, indicating that the vast ma ma ma gaming statistics for March 2018. What all of this tells us is what you probably already know. The machines from Apple are sleek and look beautiful, but if you're a budget-minded individual, There will probably always be a cheaper PC out there that, in terms of what it can do, is just as good. You can find a Windows PC as good as any Mac that will cost you less money if you are a gamer, a designer, or simply someone who streams TV and writes emails.
Which operating system you prefer or what you have just gotten used to is what it often boils down to. In things such as keyboard shortcuts, users become fluent or they just prefer certain programs on one OS. But functionality isn't all about it, though. The Apple layout looks good. It always has, and some people say that the creative community is so popular with Macs. You get a Mac, after all, if you want to look good, not everyone who drives a Ferrari is interested in driving at 180 mph or even cares about what's under the hood. They purchased the car as a symbol of status, just as Macs still give a high-status badge to people. Some people will probably deny this, but there is ample evidence out there that Apple products are indeed a status symbol all around the world. Most critics tell us that this is slowly changing, though, as PC manufacturers have focused more on making cool looking machines over the last few years. You might be thinking now, oh no, not me, you see, I'm all about security, and I don't care to show off. Kaspersky, the U.S. security firm, wrote that while Macs were indeed susceptible to fewer online threats as PCs were in the past, that is changing.
"In recent years, the increasing popularity of Mac operating systems has made them a prime target for cybercriminals, and Macs have subsequently fallen victim to several viruses, malware, and other web threats," the company wrote. However, it is still true, Kaspersky wrote, that Windows machines are currently more vulnerable than Macs to viruses. So that's one very good reason to buy a Mac, even if, given the growing number of Mac attacks, we shouldn't have a false sense of security, but for now, with the majority of the world using PCs, that's where the majority of cyber-attacks are focused. That fact is another thing.
In conclusion, PCs have budget machines for all your requirements, so PCs win all the way if you are short of a penny or two. However, Macs are great machines, and if you like the style and functionality, then you should buy one, but you should stick with a PC if you are looking for power and are budget-minded. Which do you prefer, then? Is the outward style of Apple better than having better inside hardware?
