The IBM 5150 Personal Computer was first released in September of 1981. The Macintosh 128k was first released on May 3, 1984. Thus the "PC" predates the "Mac" by almost three years.

Even so factually correct regarding the Macintosh and IBM PC, the first PC or the one you could consider as that was likely the HP-9830A running Basic out of ROM in 1973. While IBM had an even earlier release of the 5100 Series in 1975 the Apple I came out in 1976, while the Apple II came out in 1977 followed by the Apple III in 1981 the same year the 5150 IBM the first Intel 86 based PC from IBM came out. While the first truly affordable "personal computers" where the Commodore Pet ~$800 and yes the Radio Shack TRS-80 at ~$600 in 1976, while both the Apple and 5100 IBM series where almost double the price... anyhow the two platform truly evolved out the of the same technology and I would take issue with the predate statement, but considering the Macintosh 128K point I have to say the answer is correct in its own context, while the is the full context.
