1. Blog: What type of computer is better a PC or Mac? Please explain your answer.
     PC is better than MAC, because PC has better software that can be used to modify the graphics, engine, and sound engine.  Only a PC can run highly rated games without crashing or even lagging with the right software, while MAC is limited to the designers parts and funding and because its a MAC it doesn't have the parts necessary to upgrade the graphics and can barely run any game of high rating.  PC can run Facebook tumbler and Instagram, plus games while the MAC is limited to Facebook, tumbler and Instagram. The PC has a better cooling system than the MAC since it can have more than one fit leading to longer usage.  These aren't close to the reasons that PC is better then MAC but they are enough to convince someone looking for something that can run more than just apps but highly rated games, have a cooling system that can lead to longer usage and be customisable.
