:: Five Reasons Why PCs Are Better Than Macs ::
:::May 9, 2008:::
PCs Are Better For Games: Macs, for some reason, have never been very good to gamers -- games on the Mac have mostly been a second thought while Microsoft is balls-deep in its Xbox experiment. For PC owners, experiencing a top-of-the-line computer means being able to purchase an assortment of titles so big you'll never truly have to get a videogame system. Meanwhile, the Mac makes you look like a Soviet searching the bread shelves for crumbs of entertainment that may be released on the whim of cruel developers. Add to that the price and troubles Macs have in switching graphics cards, which is essential if, perhaps, you actually wanted to keep playing modern games. GameTap and Steam make the PC a gaming-on-demand service with 100s of retro and current titles there for the taking. GameTap works on Macs, but just Intel ones -- and not for all titles. And so it goes, until you would like to tear your hair out.PCs Are Better Media Machines: I could see the Mac owners already bleedin' out of their earholes over this one. F*** you, Macs can do everything with media in the whole universe! No, they can't. 3 letters for you: D.V.R. Windows Media Center has been a DVR replacement for a long time now, streaming all the video content your torrenting heart wants to boot, because Gates swings that path. Steve Jobs favours Front Row, Apple's happy little interface that has no TiVo magic whatsoever. Apple TV, a set-top box that should have been a DVR, rather locks you to an iTunes account enslavement and a media-purchasing DRM-rental-blindered idea of "fun." It possibly simpler to use an iPod and a Mac to download TV shows, but you are also stuck with one media store, no recording alternatives, and no way out once you are completely sucked in. Yep, I know there are third-party DVR alternatives for the Mac. For how much Macs cost, you would think they could bundle one in, right? PCs Are a lot More Cost-Effective: Macs are still priced too high. Tell me you do not agree. And if you don't, then you have been hypnotised, as well. The Apple Stores and apple.com have made a one-world pricing world for all things Mac, while in the personal computer world there are a lot of manufacturers, dozens of retail stores, dozens of sales and rebates, and plenty of cheap refurbished parts on the market that people can use to build their own dream PCs. Apple's cheapest laptop computer is still more than one thousand dollars. You can get a PC laptop for five hundred at Best Buy. Yep, they are different in quality -- but an eight-year-old who needs to plunk out a book report does not need 0.13 inch-thin wafers of aluminium. Families, non-nerds, and most of the adult world need less-expensive options, and for $500, the only thing Apple sells that has a screen and reads e-mail is an iPhone or an iTouch. Apple Is Fascist: You can not build a Mac easy, and you can't truly customise it, either -- not unless you prefer to avoid your warrantee. They are like fancy sports automobiles run on a single computer chip, fixable only at your dealer for a set price. Hacking a Mac looks like rape to fanboys, and it could be done, but with a trip to Fry's Electronics and a little lunch money in the PC world you are able to basically soup up your own Windows roadster. That's not appealing to most people -- but there are amazing things you are able to do on PCs with homemade software that normally Is not OS X-compatible whatsoever. Waiting for a Mac patch of a file-sharing programme, cell phone patcher, or whatever your freedom-cherishing heart and soul wants can feel like exile. Sure, Macs have less computer viruses, worms, and crapware -- but they as well have costly, difficult-to-mod machines that get outdated in a couple of short years. The same thing happens to PCs, too. And they're cheaper. It's Still a PC World Out There: In case you prefer to run your world business with a healthy dose of cheap labor from Pakistan (or, with the declining dollar, Alabama), just think that it will be Windows you will need to run it on. But Macs run Windows! Yep, I know. The Mac is a good, high-end Windows machine. And it is really cool that Macs run Windows XP. But the real issue is, when will OS X be good enough to not need to run Windows at all? That power to boot up XP isn't much a Mac victory as it's Bill Gates' triumph. He now has compatibility with his competitor, which was the whole idea in the first place. Apple had better follow suit and make iLife (and other exclusive Mac softwares) useable to Windows users in its entirety. Of course, they won't. |
