from scratch, from the ground up, It is incredibly
stable. Apple controls production from start to

going to do it for you. Boot camp and parallels will
allow you to run games natively in windows, but there
may be a performance hit. Some games are produced
for Mac OS, but the number is very small.
 Price : All that flashy secure reliable power comes at
a price. Macs cost more than machines that run other
operating systems.
 Fewer Software Options : Not all Applications are
yet available for Mac Unlike Windows.

16.  Cannot Be Upgraded/Customized : There
are upgrade options when you buy a Mac, But
Unlike a Windows PC, You cannot mix and
match components. The Easiest way to
upgrade a Mac is to buy a new one.
