Why is a PC better than a Mac?
There are several reasons why a pc is better than a mac like it is cost-effective, it gives good performance for gaming, and components are easily upgradable in pc, so let’s take a look at all the reasons in detail.
1. Cost-effective
One of the main benefits of pc is that it is very cost-effective compared to a MacBook.
For example, if you want to purchase a computer or if you want to build one for yourself then you can easily build a PC for yourself for different purposes like video editing and gaming for under 50000 rupees but you will have to spend a lot more money if you want to purchase a MacBook with similar specifications.
Since most of the people prefer building their own PC by purchasing individual components like processors and storage from different companies so you will get a lot of discounts on all these components of PC from retailers and you can build your own custom PC at a very cost-effective price but you won’t get such amount of discount by purchasing a MacBook
2. Good for gaming
Another advantage of having a PC is that it is very good for gaming as compared to MacBook because in a PC you have a bigger screen and monitor at the same time you can also add a bigger graphic card into the CPU which will significantly enhance the gaming experience and you can play different types of games that high resolution and high frame rate and if you install and run windows operating system on your computer then you can install and play hundred and thousands of games on your PC as compared to a limited number of games on MacBook.
3. Easily upgradeable
Another benefit of a PC is that you can easily upgrade the different components of a PC for example if you have purchased a PC with 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage then you can easily increase the storage after a couple of years by simply replacing the parts in the cabinet and adding the new components in place of it in the motherboard and you can also replace the processor of the PC in the motherboard as well in future but this is not possible to do in a MacBook.
4. Good performance
Another advantage of having a PC is that you will get good performance and you won’t expect a lot of lags or jitters, of course, the performance that you get depends upon the kind of processor that you use for your PC whether it is Intel or ryzen processor and the generation of the processor but you will have good performance overall as compared to a laptop and MacBook because of larger components in PC.
5. The operating system
Another advantage of having a PC over a MacBook is regarding the operating system, you can either go for the Mac operating system or you can install the windows, you can also install Linux if you want to depend up on your interest and preference, and because windows have a larger market share in PC and laptops so you have more number of features in windows computers as compared to MacBook, at the same time there are more number of applications and software available for you to install and use on windows operating system than mac os, and even after installing windows you can easily switch between windows to Mac by using a Mac mini, and you can also install Linux as I said earlier on your PC.
6. Bigger screen
Another advantage of having a PC is that you will have a bigger screen on the monitor as compared to a laptop and MacBook which has smaller screen size, this thing can become a big factor, especially for gamers and programmers and developers and you can also attach multiple monitors to your PC which can increase your productivity a lot higher.
7. Customize your PC
Another advantage of PC is that you can easily customize your PC depending upon your need and interest for example if you are a serious game you can build your own custom PC by choosing the specific processor you want to add and you can also increase or decrease the storage capacity depending upon your need and you can also add any graphics card you want, you can also change the monitor and do a lot more things and make your PC more customized and personal on the other hand you cannot customize a MacBook, for example, you cannot change the graphic card or the processor or you cannot change the screen and all you can increase the storage capacity but you will have to spend a lot of money for that.
So whether you are a video editor or graphic designer or programmer and web developer or content writer or gamer you can customize your own PC depending on your need and situation which is not possible with having a MacBook.
8. Good support
Another advantage of having a PC is that you will get good customer support over a long period of time let’s see after 6 months of using the computer as compared a MacBook only get 90 day phone customer support but after that, you will have to pay to get the customer support and it is not the same case with having the PC because you can easily repair your PC at a cheaper price in local electronic shops as compared to spending thousands of rupees in repairing and maintaining your MacBook in the Apple service center.
9. Extended warranty
Another advantage of having a PC over a MacBook is that you will have an extended warranty period on a PC compared to macbook for example if you have built your own custom PC using different components from different companies for example if you have taken an Intel processor for your PC then you will get at least 3 years of warranty for the Intel processor and you will also get two or three years of warranty on the monitor that you are going to use for the PC, you also get a warranty on the storage like SSD and ram, you will also get a warranty on the motherboard, the graphic card that you use, and many other parts, on the other hand, you will only get 1 year of warranty on your MacBook from the manufacturer.
10. Lots of ports
Another advantage of having a PC over a MacBook is that you will have more ports to attach to a PC as compared to a MacBook.
These are some of the main reasons why having a PC is a much better option than a MacBook.
