So if I’m reading this right, it sounds like this may be for an entire network of PC’s in a corporate environment, is that right? If so, do you think the results would be different for at home? We’ve definitely heard how Mac’s do a great job with graphics, and probably half or more of the professionals in our industry (photography) use Mac’s. Like you mentioned though, it’s definitely more of an up front investment. Plus, we have software that right now wouldn’t be compatible. Maybe some day when we’ve got more money than we know what to do with – HA!

This is a good resource. Results seem to vary from other websites I’ve used. This seems to be pretty accurate.

Thanks for the heads-up, AJ. I don’t know what got into me when I wrote this piece, I usually get it right, but not this time (and even messed it up twice in the header, not so cool!).

Thanks again.

Grammar notes: Apostrophes are for possessives or contractions, NOT the plural.

So Macs, not Mac’s. IT Pros, not IT Pro’s.

Also, MAC in all caps = Media Access Control. Mac = short for Macintosh.

Mac’s are cheaper to troubleshoot and known for qualities , that’s why majority of people use Macs these days.

With Apple computers, I tend to notice that things either work really good or there is a total system meltdown. When it comes to hardware, some Macs are harder to work on then others hence the more expensive price to repair but for the most part, I agree that Macs run a lot smoother than PCs. Apple has a strict list of hardware that it certifies which pretty much guarantees that it will work with the system. With PC systems, there is a hardware free-for-all so many times, there will be a hardware conflict with some software running on the system which creates problems.

Having the pleasure of working on both Apple and PC computers, there are definitely more software related issues with PCs and even though PC repairs tend to be cheaper, the frequency of problems is what will get you.

So…. I agree that a Mac is cheaper in the long run.
