10 reasons you should buy a Windows PC instead of an Apple Mac by Antonio Villas-Boas on May 30, 2018, 3:19 PM Advertisement
 Those Mac computers sure look good, and they work great, too. But Macs don't suit everyone, especially when it comes to price tags and certain people who need extra power and customization. Check out 10 reasons why you should consider a Windows PC over a Mac, then check out the 10 reasons why you should buy a Mac instead of a Windows PC to see which one fits your bill: SEE ALSO: 10 reasons you should buy this $530 Android phone instead of the $1,000 iPhone X 1. You can get a Windows PC for much cheaper than a Mac.  The least expensive Mac computer you can buy is the $500 Mac Mini, but you can get ultra-basic Windows PCs for under $300 that will work just fine for basic tasks like running a web browser and other basic apps. The same thing goes for laptops, too. The cheapest Mac laptop you can buy is the $1,000 MacBook Air, which isn't within everyone's budget for simple tasks like running a web browser and basic apps. Meanwhile, you can get Windows laptops under $600 that will handle basic tasks just fine.
2. There are far more Windows PC options to choose from. Since Apple is the only company that makes its own Mac computers, you have fewer choices when it comes to designs and specs. Having fewer options can make it easier to pick a computer, but it doesn't always suit someone with more advanced requirements. You don't get much choice when it comes to the processor and RAM with Macs, for example, which dictates how much power the computer has and how smoothly it'll run. Also, Macs are often marketed as machines perfectly suited for professionals like photo and video editors, but you can buy Windows PCs that are far better suited for those types of professionals than any Mac.
3. You can easily switch out parts in Windows PCs and most laptops to customize them for your needs, or give them extra life.  Apple computers are less customizable than many Windows PCs and laptops. For many, the original hardware inside their Apple computers will work fine, and most probably don't want to tinker around with upgrading parts. But anyone who does want to tinker around will have limited options with Macs. Plus, you can build your own PC with exactly the parts you want to meet your needs. It's surprisingly easy, not to mention satisfying. You can build your own "Hackintosh" computer, but you're limited in what parts you can use, and macOS is a pain to update and maintain on computers that aren't made by Apple.
