I am a PC fan, although in reality, I would be happy with either computer. The mac has always been the sleeker of the two computers and generally, people seem to feel more important when they carry around a mac computer. Mac's are so completely different than regular pc's. This can sometimes turn off traditional users that are so used to the standard pc. The software is different, but still user friendly with some time. There are many useful features with a mac and they can be very helpful in getting things done. The only thing about using a mac for a word assignment is the format that it is in. Mac's are not nearly as popular as PC's when it comes to documents so a lot of things do not format to the Mac. Mac's advertising consists mainly of the idea that Mac's are the new wave of intelligence involving computers. Very modern and streamline models describe the usual plan of action that the Mac company presents.
