Many are the dilemmas we are faced with daily and is that the decisions we must make can make us get positive or negative results.
When choosing a product we must assess the different options that the market offers us and those that best suit our needs and budget. This broadly speaking is what we do every time we go to buy something, even our daily shopping at the supermarket where we assess the pros and cons of the products that ultimately fall into our basket. This charges more important the higher the value of that itemFrom a can of preserves to a mattress or a house, the comparison between the different options is inevitable.
But when it comes to designing, choose a PC or a Mac?
One of these dilemmas arises when we consider buying a new desktop computer, well for our personal use or for work and it is at that moment when doubts flood us to opt for a desktop PC, usually based on the Windows operating system or opt for apple option for our desktops, Mac.
The compatibility of both systems with the different programs we use on a daily basis happens because each of the parent companies, Microsoft and Apple offer us versions of the programs common for their respective systems.
The most special programs in works destined to design, music, etc., are prepared for both systems so we will not have a special problem, although it is important if we use a specific program in our work area to make sure that it is available for the system we intend to choose.
The programs created by Apple optimize computer resources making use more agile than with the programs that we install on PCs mounted with Windows and a software level, both platforms turn out to be 100% functional. Both Mac and PC are compatible with programs of daily use within the world of graphic design, offering users the possibility to address any of the user's needs effectively.
Macs are widely used in technology companies mainly in the United States being Windows the primary choice for personal computers, although this is a trend that is changing, with a greater number of users opting for the apple brand option, largely due to the rise of the brand's mobile phones, whose users when changing their PC they opt for a Mac to make compatibility with your IPhone or IPad easier.
Some differences between PC and Mac
One of the main advantages of PCs is that are more configurable and its update is much simpler since most of the computer components are easily replaceable, something that Macs do not allow us. Is a point in favor Very to take into account since we can extend the life of our device with specific changes.
PCs are broadly they are cheaper, one of the reasons that regardless of the advances in technology that they offer us, have given it the supremacy in sales for years. The Macs, in addition to technology they offer us design, something that PCs usually overlook, being a product that places more importance on utility than beauty.
The Mac offers us an all-in-one system, with 4K and 5K displays, an option that PCs that mount Windows have not been able to offer with the same quality as the apple brand. The smallest base you have Mac versus Windows, is that it also offers us advantages with respect to protection against threats and viruses.
Another advantage of Macs is that they are less complicated and more intuitive to use, something that we can also see on the IPhone and IPad. Although we have been Windows users before, after a short time of adaptation, we will see that its use becomes easier for us.
This is extrapolated to its use for design, the programs adapted to the Apple system make the whole work system more intuitive.
Baa only talks about the price nothing more and I thought they would mention the speed and the performance of both platforms
Mac certainly
With intelligence!
It does not matter, I have worked with IMacs that were fucking sad, the issue is to always maintain good order and cleanliness in the work environment. It is useless to say that a mac performs better with less when it is more expensive and for the same price you get a pc that performs the same or better.
It is a question of price in the sense that it seems absurd to pay more than double for something that does the same to me. At work we have the latest model Mac (approximately 2500 euros from the wing), because for less than half at home my PC is 20 times more powerful, it does the same and faster and my 32-inch HD TV is not far behind. By the way, before changing Mac (that was easier than doing a master's degree to put more memory) I could have written an encyclopedia with the amount of problems it gave, one day I broke a record by laying out a double page in 9 hours ... and each day, the new ones (we have 6 and they all have a mess) surprise us with some new little bitch the happy devices of the apple. The madness is such that my daughter's friend (10 years old) has a mac in her room ... for?
The only problem is that I go crazy with keyboard shortcuts when I move from home to job or job to home.
The design is made by the person, not the machine, the result is the same in both
It's like saying that the brush makes perfect ... A Da Vinci doesn't care, right?
in-depth, comprehensive and essential article, as always. congratulations
The end result, the client doesn't even notice and doesn't give a damn if you did it with a piece of dismembered PC or with the fashionable imac. I don't spend on pretty irons, none of my clients notice that.
Always Mac!
A good design has nothing to do with whether it is done on Mac or PC, another thing is the way of working on one platform or another. For me, it is more comfortable and I generate lighter documents using a Mac.
I do not agree as to the impossibility of extending a mac with respect to the pc: it depends on the chosen model.
And if we talk about the ethics of manufacturers, where and who does it? And very importantly, Mac is like Bang & olufsen, they only design the case, and the rest buy patents exclusively and not always, as the most popular for six months at most.
Buy with ethics and stop fooling around, what's the use of being an ecologist and buying a computer manufactured on the other side of the world by exploited people? And about tastes the colors.
