What are the technical differences between a Mac and a PC?

There is very little difference between a modern Macintosh and a so-called "PC. " They use the same processors, memory, and drives; the same expansion slots, the same input ports, etc... The key differences are: The use of EFI as opposed to the traditional BIOS. The BIOS found in most PCs is designed for backwards-compatibility to allow the use of older software and operating URL1 Mac OS X has nothing that tied it to the BIOS, it was free to use an alternative firmware that eliminates some of the shortcomings of the BIOS.

EFI is not exclusive to Macs, however; motherboards can be purchased off-the-shelf that support EFI, and some computer retailers use it as well now Non-standard motherboard form factors. The motherboards in all current Macintosh models do not correspond to a form factor found in other retailer's computers, such as ATX or ITX Unique case deigns. Macintosh cases are designed to be slightly more "classy" looking than those found with the standard "white box" PC Incompatible expansion cards.

Because of the aforementioned use of EFI, off-the-shelf expansion cards such as graphics cards cannot be used in a Mac. Similar models designed for use with EFI can be purchased from the Apple store, at a typically higher markup price. This,too, will probably change as EFI becomes more widespread It really depends what Mac and PC you are comparing each other to.

Let's say we are talking about an iMac and a Dell Desktop Hardware: The iMac is an all-in-one, meaning the "guts" of the computer are completely encased in the monitor space. This means that the amount of wires you need is much less. IMacs nowadays only need one wire for the whole computer A Dell desktop which isn't an all-in-one, has a separate computer tower and monitor, possibly separate speakers aswell.

This allows you to change things around, but means wires are common. You will need a wire to connect the monitor to the mains, the PC tower to the mains, 2 wires to connect the monitor to the PC tower and wires to connect the speakers to the PC tower The iMac is much simpler design than any PC, with all the ports on the back, and the diskdrive on the side. A PC will have all the ports on the front, and on the back, the fan and all the wires from the back The main difference separating a Mac and PC is the Operating System though.

Mac uses Mac OS X and PC usually uses Windows.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
