Mac vs PC

http://albanylawtech.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/mac-vs-pc/ In this month’s ABA Journal, two lawyers re-visit the MAC vs PC debate. Here at the law school, we find that more 1Ls have MACs than previous years. We do not provide technical support for MAC users other than setting up their wireless Internet access. We are this semester for the first time allowing students to use MACs for their final exams if they own an Intel MAC (MACbook or MACbook Pro) running Windows XP or Vista on Bootcamp. Do you think that a Mac is better than a PC if so why? If you think a PC is better, Why? Which do you feel would benifit students better?

    I think the choice between mac and PC are different from person to person. I happen to be a PC person, simply because that is what I grew up learning. The little time that I have used a Mac, I could see why people like Macs. I think the choice also depends what you are learning, music and filmmaking is more mac oriented. Simply using it for documents a PC is fine.

    PC ALL THE WAY!!! I think that I keep choosing and buying PC's is because I find the mac interface different and hard to use. Mac has some amazing options for various multimedia projects but I just use my computer for lesson planning and internet.

    I think that students should have the choice in which interface they feel more comfortable.

    Now that Macs can run Windows, I agree that students should have the choice for most uses. Video and sound editing have always been in the Mac realm, but that is changing also as more PC based programs are coming out. I am PC biased because it is what I know, but have many Mac "snobs" as friends and like Alanna, am starting to see why they like it now that I have been using one at school.
