A PC is better then a MAC because a MAC can't run exe software that PCs can like Windows. You can't run a MAC on a PC but you can run Windows on a MAC by using bootcamp. a MAC is pretty cool and is less attacked then Windows because Windows is the most popular Operating System in the PC World so it is the most targeted by the hackers. So a MAC could be more secure then Windows but doesn't run WIndows Software. You could run Windows software on a MAC by using Wine (Windows Emulation). Here is what a PC can do: (1)Run exe (executive) files (2)Run Windows (3)Read DRM Protected content (4)Play wmv files Here is what a MAC can do: (1)Is more secure and less targeted then PCs (2)You can run Apple/MAC OSX software (3)You can run MAC software (.dmg) on MACs Macs and PCs are totally different but I recommend using a PC then a MAC.
