ORIGINAL ANSWER: PC is better for professional users because it has internet Explorer. Some websites require Internet Explorer. This can make it difficult to use with Macs.

That is possibly the worst answer I have read on this site. Apologies of course to whomever wrote it, but clearly you don't have a solid understanding of what computers and browsers do.

First of all, Internet Explorer is a web browser - you download it and it works just fine on any Mac computer. I run Safari, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, AND Internet Explorer because I need to have the capability to check website on all these browsers for compatibility.

Secondly, while it is true that some sites will work better on IE than on other browsers, there is a large push right now to get away from Internet Explorer because, in all honestly, it is one of the least secure browsers out there. Firefox and Chrome are wonderful options (though I prefer Opera to either of those).

To answer your question, the more professional computer depends on what you want to do? It depends on what industry you are in and how your work flow is. It depends on how much money you can or your company can spend on a computer. It depends on what you expect to get out of your computer as well as your familiarity with technology.

I will point out right now that I am on a Mac. I love my MackBook Pro. I will be sticking with it for quite some time because I like the interface and the functionality of the multi-touch pad.

I also own two PCs, a dell laptop and a toshiba laptop. I love these computers. They do exactly what I need them to do and other than the "apple name" (which, you could compare to Gucci or Coach of the computer world) I probably get more USE out of my PCs than I do my mac.

Why? Because I'm in graphics and art and animation. There is more open source software designed for a PC than there is a Mac. While Mac may take the functionality of their programs to a wonderful level, the variety of programs I can access is severely limited.

So your computer really depends on what you're willing to shell out and what field you are in. A more professional computer will be one that you feel comfortable with and one that you won't look silly using in front of other people. Nothing says unprofessionalism like not knowing how to use your own computer.

If you have the money to drop on a Mac, go for it. I love mine.

It's the difference between spending $100 on a t-shirt at a designer store and $20 on a t-shirt at the mall. They're practically the same t-shirt but you get the "designer label" with the more expensive one. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's better.

I hope that helped a little more than the misinformed original answer.

It depends on what kind of professional you are. If you're an accountant, definitely PC. All the accounting software is PC-based, all your customers are PC-based, all the Accountants in the area are running PCs so if you need help (or someone else needs your help) your computers can talk. If you're a graphic artist, you can go either way but us old guys usually run Macs.

Which one is better for professionals MAC or PC?

well, it depends on what you are doing. usually, most animation and software developing programs are for PC. most professionals use PC however because they are cheap, and work. but... i would recommend looking for if the things you will be doing are available on PC or mac. otherwise, i would recommend mac because they can be nerdy as a PC, and at the same time, easy enough for a 5 year old to use. best of luck, he anonomus person who wrote this.
