How to save time and money with outsourced IT support
Supporting Business Typically, there are 2 types of computers used by SMB’s: PC’s or Mac’s - and their associated Operating Systems: Windows & iOS. The choice of Mac versus PC and Windows versus iOS can be as simple as personal preference of management, but can also be driven by your industry - for example the creative industry such as graphic design, video production etc typically relies on Apple Macintosh (Mac) technology.
Many businesses typically use Windows machines over Mac equipment. This is usually due to lower prices of the technology used and level of support which is offered. Windows laptops and desktops computers have more controllability than Mac computers due and are much easier to maintain as part of your Infrastructure ‘estate’ . Aside from the type of operating system they support, there is a wide range of performance capabilities. This is the case for both Windows and Apple. When deciding the level of processing speed you require, the programs they will be running will have to be considered. For example, if you’re using CAD software, you may need a ‘top end’ machine to cope with the processing power required. If you’re looking to use video or image editing software, it would be best to go for a mid to top level machine. Anything lower, a ‘standard’ performance computer will do the job – when using the Microsoft 365 suite for example.
