There is many things that a person will have to take into account when trying to purchase, their first personal computer. What someone should take into account when looking for a computer is if they want a laptop or your standard desk to computer, to determine if the computer will be used for photo editing or anything like the sort which will take up a lot of virtual and hard disk memory which can cause the computer to go slow. What a person should do when a buying a computer for media like things such as gaming etc, they should get a bigger hard-drive then what comes with the computer and upgrade the RAM in the computer. The best investment for any consumer which getting a Personal Computer is totally a Mac, and the reason fo me saying this is due to the fact that all program are pretty much compatible with both Mac and PC. Also you will save lots of money in Anti virus programs, firewalls, Anti-phishing software as no one has successfully created a virus or any type of worm that can get into Mac's operating systems as it is so complex-ed and versus a computer with running Windows Operating System the chances are much higher in obtaining a virus even you if have the best Anti Virus out there. I find a lot of people feel that the Mac Operating System is to sophisticated to use as the programs compared to Windows, But is it all worth it in the long run? Constantly spending money on upgrades and paying a service tech to fix the computers which can cause you a lot of money. I know this as it just recently happened to me and we had to get the computer totally wiped clean. So every consumers best bet is save a little money and then go to Mac and purchase the right system for you and I hear the technical team is very helpful and compared to Windows Technical team Mac out beats them by far. Also another thing about Mac is that you actually do not have a big old tower on your computer desk which takes up alot of room. Every person in the world should totally switch over to Mac and business should as well. This would save the world from all the hoaxes in people trying to create virus and stying it is going to hit on a set date. Microsoft currently has a 175,000 dollar bounty on the person who can find the person who created the virus that was suppose to hit today, but if you were to have a Mac you would have no worries. Mac is the best way for anybody who wants a personal computer.
