Default Advantages of apple computer vs. regular pc?

Hello,

I am thinking about a new laptop. I really like the apple notebooks because they look slick and it's cool to have.

I would like to know if there are any advantages of choosing an apple notebook versus a regular laptop. What are the pros and cons?

Well, if you choose Apple laptop, it is sure that you will get one of the coolest laptop in the computer world!. It is also compatible with many graphical program and softwares. However, as the number of Apple users are far lesser than normal PC, the maintenance fee may be higher. In addition, it is also more difficult if you would like to update your laptop later.

I have not heard of high profile news that Mac computers were invaded by destructive viruses. I think one advantage of Mac over the conventional PC whether desktop or laptop is its graphical user interface. It seems to be much more flexible than that of the conventional PC.

There is a feature that you can run your Windows application under Mac. The other way around I think is not possible. That is running your Mac under windows environment.

^ That's called boot camp. I've tried running Windows on a Macbook Pro and there was no performance loss at all - games even ran pretty well. I think once you buy a Mac there'd be no reason to go to Windows anyway.

Although Apple Computers look nice, in my opinion, they aren't practical in most cases.
