What is the economic difference between the PC Party and the Mac Party? When you compare the cost of a PC and factor in the additional software, memory, and other extras you would have to purchase to go along with it, the difference in price between a Mac and PC isn’t as great as most people believe. The Mac comes with so many built-in applications that you’ll enjoy using for both work and play (rather than useless freebies you’ll want to uninstall), that it makes good financial sense. Finally, a Mac is built with the most cutting-edge technology by some of the smartest hardware engineers, software developers, and product designers on the planet. So you’re getting the latest technological advances, and a computer that isn’t in danger of becoming obsolete anytime soon.
Resale Value.It’s important to remember that the typical resale value on a Mac is much higher than on the PC. After 3 years with a Mac you can expect a drop in value of 40%-45%, whereas on the PC you will typically experience a drop of around %80.Suppose you purchased a $1500 Mac and a $1500 PC. After three years your Mac resale value would be $900, but your PC resale value would be $300. That is an additional cost of ownership of $600. Joining the Mac Party just makes financial sense. |
