As the school year draws to a close, most seniors are preparing to head off to college. With many different college computer options, sometimes the question comes down to PC, or Mac?

If you are looking at the depth of your wallet, a PC is your definite choice for affordability. While you might come out of your computer store, after spending $800 for a quality PC, you’d have to head back to the bank, spending an extra $200 minimum for an entry level Mac, that you would find of less quality.

If you describe yourself as an advanced computer gamer,the PC houses the perfect software for all your late- night study break games. Mac software has been compared to that of the rarely used Adobe Flash program, which is found in your PC, and used to enhance video quality. However, in recent PC models, the video quality has been far superior to that of the quality with Adobe and incomparable to that of the Mac. Now, PC’s are equip and  using quickbook and quickbook pro for advanced software in order to create enhanced and real- life video experience.  You will notice the enhanced effects and graphics unlike that of the Mac.

Unless you are a computer genius, PC’s will be more user friendly for you, while the Mac’s require constant technical maintenance. As designed by computer techs at apple, the Mac’s are not user friendly. While the filters and battery pieces in a PC are easy to take out, clean, and replace, if you find yourself having a problem of these sorts with a Mac, you must locate the nearest Apple store and pay for a computer tech to fix your computer.

If you’re not concerned with costs and technical problems, you can look at the academic side of the argument.. “I find it easy to use for all my school projects” said junior Jo Kelly, “I make lots of movies and videos easily without problems, and its easy to understand”. Similar to this, “I use it a lot for papers” said junior Gabrielle Blacker, “I like Microsoft word and its not as easy with macs”.

No matter what the situation, PC’s are the way to go. Whether you need a computer to satisfy your wallet, gaming needs, or academic accomplishments, a PC’s advanced but user friendly technology will fit all your needs.
