In this blog, we examine the numbers and put the Mac versus PC in the enterprise myths to bed. The outcome (surprising to some) favors Mac over PC. However, when looking beyond the initial cost of the device and comparing the TCO associated with providing: “Macs are great, but I can buy two PCs for the same price as one Mac,” is a common mentality within IT departments.

During a virtual event in 2021, Microsoft announced its flagship operating system, Windows, to the world.
