PC v.s. MAC The PC and MAC are similar in several ways, even though users of either computer would rather die than admit even a small resemblance.

The operation system of a Name Brand computer is often more stable and faster, and the configuration of the hardware is very efficient. In addition, Name Brand computers often have an excellent after-sale service policy. In contrast, the price of Non-name Brand computers is often much lower.
