You\u2019ve seen the funny YouTube videos, read all the memes, and now it\u2019s time to go over some real reasons why you may want to choose one over the other.<\/p>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16199 size-full\" src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mac-vs-pc.jpg\" alt=\"mac vs pc\" width=\"739\" height=\"303\" \/>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"difference_between_mac_and_pc_computers\"><\/span><strong>Difference Between Mac and PC Computers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Mac computers are typically associated with creatives working as graphic designers or marketing experts, while PCs are seen as rather boring machines for white-collar office workers who spend the vast majority of their time steering at spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations.<\/p>\r\n<p>It\u2019s true that PCs used to be quite ugly and uninspired. This has changed a lot over the past few years, with companies such as Dell or Microsoft releasing stunning laptops and innovative all-in-one PC computers, such as the Microsoft Surface Studio. Windows has also got a lot batter since the days of Windows XP, and Windows 10 is widely considered to be the best operating system Microsoft has ever released.<\/p>\r\n<p>Still, there\u2019s something to be said about Apple computers. Take apart any MacBook, and you discover a work of art. Every component has its place, and every design element contributes in a certain way to fulfill the vision of Apple designers. What\u2019s more, Apple understands that users rate computers, just like other tools, based on how they feel. A high-quality keyboard, smooth touchpad, and high-resolution Retina display add a lot of value to already fantastic computers.<\/p>\r\n<p>All this control over how Apple computers look, feel, and perform isn\u2019t without its downsides. If you\u2019re switching from PC to Mac and would like to build your own custom Mac desktop computer, you should abandon the idea immediately. Apple users get to select from a handful of models, and that\u2019s it. Selecting a CPU, upgrading RAM, installing a water-cooling system &#8211; those things are possible only with PC computers.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the whole \u201cMac vs PC\u201d debate, one thing is for sure: Mac computers are more secure. Because there are so many Windows computers out there, rational attackers understand that they can make much more money and damage if they focus on the most used operating system, Windows.<\/p>\r\n<p>But don\u2019t assume that you can completely forget about malware and hackers just because you\u2019re using a Mac computer. Your Mac computer can still become infected, resulting in a massive loss of data. When that happens, your best bet is Disk Drill, the most popular data recovery suite for Mac\u00a0OS\u00a0X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"relative bottom download__block\">\r\n            <div class=\"d-flex align-center download__block__inner\">\r\n                <div class=\"download__block__image-wrapper\">\r\n                <div class=\"download__block__image\">\r\n                    <img src=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sidebar-ban-96.png\" srcset=\"\/howto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sidebar-ban-2x-1.png 2x\" alt=\"Disk Drill\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\">        \r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"download__block__announce\">\r\n                    <b>download-block-title<\/b><br>\r\n                    download-block-text\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"download__block__action\">\r\n                    <a href=\"\/\/download.html\" data-href-mac=\/\/disk-drill-mac.html data-href-win=\/\/disk-drill-win.html class=\"button button-green btn-md osreplace\">\r\n<svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n<path d=\"M11.9546 7.293C11.8736 7.114 11.6956 7 11.4996 7H9.49957V0.5C9.49957 0.224 9.27557 0 8.99957 0H6.99957C6.72357 0 6.49957 0.224 6.49957 0.5V7H4.49957C4.30357 7 4.12557 7.115 4.04457 7.293C3.96257 7.472 3.99457 7.681 4.12357 7.829L7.62357 11.829C7.71857 11.938 7.85557 12 7.99957 12C8.14357 12 8.28057 11.937 8.37557 11.829L11.8756 7.829C12.0056 7.682 12.0356 7.472 11.9546 7.293Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\r\n<path d=\"M13.5 11V14H2.5V11H0.5V15C0.5 15.553 0.948 16 1.5 16H14.5C15.053 16 15.5 15.553 15.5 15V11H13.5Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\r\n<\/svg>\r\ndownload-block-button-text\r\n<\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Disk Drill can help you recover over 200 file formats from all popular storage devices, including Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.
