A Mac is a PC, but whatever!

PC
Pros:
  • Very Customizable
  • Can be fast
  • Can be good for gaming
  • Can be cheap

Cons:
  • Can be slow
  • Can be terribly for gaming
  • Huge inconsistency between versions*
  • Internet Explorer
  • Windows 8/8.1

*Note that many have "can". Some computers are just crap and others are much better.

Mac
Pros:
  • Can actually be customized on the website
  • Not terrible for gaming
  • Easy for people new to computers
  • The same friendly interface it's always had
  • Harder to get a virus

Cons:
  • Not the best for hardcore gaming
  • Expensive (but usually worth it)

also, by PC you mean "Windows" right? because PC means "Personal Computer" witch Mac, Lunix and Windows can all be a "PC" .

PC -
Pros:
Customizable, most programs are compatible (and made for), simple for new and old users. Gaming.
Cons:
Can get slow over time, prone to infections, not as much customization as some would want. Updating is a pain.

Mac -
Pros:
Malware is developed for Windows most of the time making infections on Mac less likely.
Cons:
Locked down to what Apple wants your computer to look like, not many programs are Mac compatible (as compared to Windows), gaming is terrible. Overpriced, very costly and not worth what you pay.

Linux -
Pros:
Customization, lots of DE's to choose from, fast, doesn't slow down over time, easy to use updater that does not require restarts (minus big updates which are rare), your Linux system could stay on for months before needing a restart. Infections are really only going to happen if you explicitly run an executable or run a terminal command. Light gaming, about on par with Mac, WINE for the simpler Windows programs that don't work on Linux, and best of all, free.
Cons:
Not compatible with software that some people require like Photoshop and some games, but can be substituted with free software like Gimp. (Steam is adding more compatibility for games though for Linux)

Linux wins I say?

They both do different things for different people.

End of discussion.
