So you're trying to choose between a Windows PC or an Apple Mac. Or, maybe, you're just curious to see what a Mac can do better than a Windows PC.

Indeed, there are lots of things that a Mac computer from Apple can do better than a Windows PC. Oh, for sure, there are lots of good things about Windows PCs, when you put them up against a Mac. Right now, though, we're talking about reasons to buy a Mac over a PC. Come back soon, though, for an argument the other way.

Check out 10 reasons why you should by a Mac instead of a Windows PC:

1. Macs are easier to buy.

There are fewer models and configurations of Mac computers to choose from than there are Windows PCs — if only because only Apple makes Macs, and anyone can make a Windows PC.

Certain PC brands can have dozens of computers for sale, under the same (or similar) product names and model numbers. Unless you really know what to look for, picking a Windows PC can be daunting, especially if you're browsing on sites like Amazon.

But if you just want a good computer and don't want to do a ton of research, Apple makes it easier for you to pick. Just pick one that matches your budget and it'll do great for you.

2. Mac computers are easier to get repaired.

There are lots of places to bring a Windows PC to get repairs, but you mostly need to figure that out on your own: Different places have different prices, and you'll need to find one with a good reputation, too.

Meanwhile, nothing beats simply bringing a computer to the Apple Store, where the famous Genius Bar will take care of you. I'm speaking from my own experience, where I've had to bring both Windows PCs and Macs to get repaired, and it's always been easier to get my Macs repaired.

3. Apple macOS can be simpler to use, but that depends on personal preference.

Windows 10 is a fantastic operating system with tons of features and functionality, but it can be a little cluttered at times. Apple macOS, the operating system formerly known as Apple OS X, offers a comparatively clean and simple experience.
