PC Computers and MAC Computers
Now days when someone wants to buy a computer there are many choices. He needs to do research before choosing one. There are two main types of computers: PC computers and MAC computers. PC is a Microsoft production and MAC is an Apple production. I can divide the differences between PC and MAC into three groups: price, software and security.
In general, MAC computer is more expensive than PC computer. The price alone would attractive more people to buy the production. People would be able to buy a PC computer for about more than the 1/2 price of MAC computer, and get the same benefit. Therefore, because the PC computer is cheaper than MAC computer, people generally buy PC computer.
Most people use a PC computer for both work and entertainment use. Therefore, software companies find that it is more profitable to develop software that is used on a PC computer instead of a MAC computer. There is some software available for PC computers only but, MAC computers have an advantage in one field. MAC computers have some specialized software for media. However, recently many different kinds of media software have been written for PC computers, so PC is no longer behind in this field.
The most important thing is security, and MAC computers win in this point. PC computers are commonly known by 85% of people who use computers in the world. Since this system is well known to the world, there are a lot of viruses that can damage the PC. However, there are a lot of virus protection programs on the market that you can purchase to feel safe about working on a PC. On the other hand, MAC is known for its safety features. Since this system is known by the other 15% of the computer users, there is less viruses out for this system. In 2006 according to Apple, there were more than 100,000 viruses affected reports for PC users, and only two were reported for MAC (http://www.apple.com/).
In conclusion, I think PC computer is the best choice, because they are cheaper than MAC computer, and PC computer have more software and programs than MAC computer. About security, now there are a powerful protection programs in the market that can protect your PC computer for long period.

In general, MAC computer is more expensive than PC computer (YOU COULD HAVE PROVIDED STATISTICS TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM). The price alone would ATTRACT more people (MAYBE 'CUSTOMERS' WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER?) to buy the production. People would be able to buy a PC computer for about more than the 1/2 price of MAC computer, and get the same benefit (EVIDENCE?). Therefore, because the PC computer is cheaper than MAC computer, people generally buy PC computer.
