For a long time now, Macs have crushed PCs on pure beauty by simplicity, and unfortunately for PC users, this is still the case.

Usability

It should come as no surprise PCs, mainly PCs with Windows, control almost 90% of the market. Most offices will consist of most PCs, and even the ones that aren’t primarily PC-based will support PCs.

On the other hand, if there’s physical damage to the unit, such as a bad hard drive PC”s hands down make for a much easier repair. Typically to replace a hard drive in a PC requires nothing more than a screwdriver. However, with most Mac models, special tools are required. With an iMac, suction cups are even necessary.
