Apple Computers are in fact personal computers, but the "PC" moniker typically is applied to Windows computers. Historically Apple computers used different processor architectures than Windows computers, but now a days an Apple computer, running Mac OS, and a PC, running Windows OS, are identical in terms of hardware they just run different software.
The difference in software is the primary reason why the computers "do not agree". The different OSes have very different User Interfaces and get followings of people who are more dedicated to one interface or the other.
Mac and Apple computers cannot "Network" at the user level as many home users would expect them to because of the difference in OS. It is somewhat like the two computers speaking different languages.
