Both computers have a keyboard, a display monitor, a power supply, a central processing unit (CPU), memory, a graphics processing unit (GPU), a loudspeaker, USB ports, cooling fan(s), wiring harnesses, Wi-Fi capability, along with internal antenna(s) and a (mostly) plastic enclosure, although some models may have n all metal housing.
The main difference between an Apple and a Windows computer is the processing chip and the Operating System (OS).
An Apple computer will do everything a Windows computer will do.
An Intel processor Apple Computer.
No it is a Windows PC. Apple computer run the OSx operating system which is currently called Snow Leopard.
There is no real controversy. Apple just sells a superior computer to any Windows computer built. That is where you will see the argument. Most Apple users were former Windows users. You would be hard pressed to find an Apple user that would ever go back to using a Windows PC. And most people that bad mouth Apple have never even owned an Apple computer. I have owned both and Apple just makes a computer that works day in and day out with no problems. Yes, they do cost more but they are well worth the price.
DOS is not part of an Apple computer, it is part of all Windows PCs.
Windows is the operating system on a Microsoft computer or an Apple computer running windows drivers. Without windows your computer would not work.
If the CD contains photos or music they will work on a Mac. If the CD contains a Windows program it will not run on any Apple computer.
Windows is an operating system produced by the Microsoft company. Windows is not a computer or a company. The first Apple computer was sold in July 1976. The first version of Microsoft's Windows operating system was sold in 1985.
If you had never used a computer before the Apple would be easier to learn than a Windows PC. But most people come to the Apple computer from a Windows machine they have been using for years. Therefore they carry with them many preconceived Windows ideas. Apple has no registry for one thing, and you do not have to install Anti-Virus software on an Apple computer no matter what anyone tells you. You can also accomplish any task on a Mac in many different ways. The Apple OSx is very easy to learn and the Apple website has many videos showing you the difference between Apple and Windows. Avail yourself of those videos and you will be all set. Took me about 1 week to get comfortable with Mac.
The same uses as any other computer. Apple computers will do everything a Windows computer will do and in some case do it better. Graphic Designers, and Photographers use Apple computers because they tend to display graphics much better than a Windows computer.
Most Apple software is designed to work on their Mac OS X operating system and will not work on a computer running the Windows operating system. Apple does make some of their software available for Windows such as iTunes and their Safari browser.
Here are few similarities: Both are PC operating systems. Both work on x86 architecture hardware. Both are products from Microsoft Corporation. - Neeraj Sharma
