Apple 17-Inch Macbook Pro Versus 17-Inch Sony Vaio Vgn-Ar790U/B
Whether we choose to admit it or not, everyone loves to watch a battle of epic proportions played out in the media. Think of the hype surrounding the Ali V Frazier fight. Alien V Predator movie. England V Germany football match, and finally the 17-inch MacBook Pro Versus the 17-inch Sony VAIO VGN-AR790U/B.
Let me tell you straight off the bat this article is designed to provoke debate. I’m going to try and explore the benefits of choosing a Mac over a PC, or a PC over a Mac. No doubt this will swell the battle lines of both camps and hopefully fuel spin off articles and discussions in many of the IT related forums.
I’m going to post my colours to the mast and admit I’m a PC user. However a great number of my friends and business associates are die hard Mac users, including my mate Rob.
I’ve often heard Mac computers being referred to as having the Marmite syndrome, i.e. you either love them or you hate them. I am however conscious that approximately 95% of the graphic and web designers that I commission work with utilise Mac products. I take great pleasure when working with Rob at the PC One Stop Shop design office for long sessions to hear him singing the praises of a Mac over a PC. He seems duty bound to inform me that Macs are incredibly reliable and rarely crash. After working with him on both sides of the Atlantic for over twelve years I admit to being bored witless about Mac’s reliability. But I do smile the other side of my face when his Mac notebook crashes and he has to eat his words.
