Q: Which computer do I buy for school? A: Look HERE!

Here are a few factors to consider when deciding between buying a Mac or PC:

Operating system - Macs run macOS, while PCs run Windows. Look at the features of each and decide which OS works better for your needs.
Software compatibility - Some software is made exclusively for Windows, while other programs are Mac-only. Consider what software you need to use regularly.
Hardware - Macs and PCs come in many hardware configurations. Macs typically only use Apple-designed hardware components, while PCs use components from a variety of manufacturers. Compare hardware specs like processor, RAM, storage, etc.
Price - PCs tend to be more affordable overall, but you can find Macs and PCs at varying price points. Consider your budget constraints.
User experience - Macs are known for ease of use, while Windows offers more flexibility. Think about which OS you find more intuitive.
Ecosystem integration - Macs integrate seamlessly with other Apple devices like iPhones and iPads. This may be beneficial if you use multiple Apple products.

Ultimately it depends on your specific needs and preferences. For most general home computing, PCs offer more value. But Macs are great if you want a streamlined experience and already use Apple devices. Try going to an electronics store to test out different Macs and PCs for yourself.
