Tech Talk by GR

Mac

            Mac has many advantages over PCs. Macs are much easier to use compared to PCs. Macs also have much better creative software. People may argue that PCs have more software, but Macs can actually run all that software through special configuration.

Good software for Mac:

  • Steam
  • Pages
  • Minecraft

PC

           PC is used by many more people, and is cheaper. PC is more easily customized and has a large amount of good software. If you are short on money, or want a customizable computer, PC is a viable option.

Good software for PC:

  • Steam
  • Minecraft
  • Word
  • Adobe Photoshop
