Mac or Microsoft?

Let’s face it. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have been going neck and neck for years. Though, they actually worked together in the beginning, but Jobs decided to work on his own and started Apple. Gates created Microsoft. They are two very different companies, but before you buy, check each to see which better fits your needs.

First, here is Microsoft. They make computers, tablets and phones that use an operating system called Windows, which in my opinion is easier to get used to. Though they serve you well in the short term, but they don’t in the long term. All my life I have had Windows computers, but I had them for one to two years, though I have had some that lasted longer. My first laptop was ten years old when I got it, but it did not perform very well. Windows have better prices, but quality is low. These computers are made of plastic. Microsoft has it’s pros and cons, but don’t decide yet.

Apple on the other hand, is very different from Microsoft. Apple makes tablets, phones and iPods that use iOS, and computers that use Mac OS, both of which are slightly harder to adapt to. These products will certainly keep running for at least ten years. The prices are high, but quality is very high. The Aluminum body is very sleek, light and recycleable. It’s durable, and can perform well. All new products have an HD display. The fifteen inch MacBook Pro has five million pixels. That’s Apple for you.

When it comes to decision of what to buy, think of what you need. For college, get a Mac. For simple quick home use, Windows is right for you. Both companies have pros and cons. I like both and use both, but who is better is something for you to decide.
