What is the disadvantage of using an apple computer instead a PC?

Answer 1

A personal computer (PC) is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end user with no intervening computer operator. ~ Wiki

Regardless of who makes it, if a computer satisfies the definition, it is a Personal Computer, so a computer made by Apple is a PC.

Answer 2

limited availability of various applications and software.
Many programs are written for Windows. You can't run Windows programs on a Mac unless you downgrade your Mac by installing the Windows operating system on your Mac then you can run software for either system. One of the disadvantages of running Windows on a Mac is that you are liable to be affected by the plethora of viruses and malware that exploits the shortcomings of the Windows system.

Answer 3

I own an iMac (Platform Mac OS X). And it is awesome. It is overall more user friendly, way faster, and since not many people use it, there are no viruses written for it. The downfall is since not many people use it, not as much free software is written for it (Like screen cams, games, MMORPGs etc etc). Some other good things is it is not very difficult to get help. You can contact an apple store if you have a problem, or simply pack your device up and go to an apple store and they will help you very quickly. Another good thing, is most laptops are very slow, MacBooks, MacBook Pros etc are not. I give my mac 4 3/4 stars and highly recommend it.
