I don’t really mind the maker of my PC as long as it is running on Windows 7 and is not a Mac. Simply put, I don’t like Macs. For minimizing, maximizing, and closing windows, Macs don’t label which button does which until you hover over it with your mouse. My judgement on their computers may be biased though, since before sixth grade I had never touched a Mac, but I could do almost anything with a computer running Windows.

My parents got a Google tablet when I was about seven years old. I thought that it was the coolest thing ever! It was even touch screen! Then by the time I was at the end of sixth grade I was issued a school iPad. I had seen from previous experience through the years that iPads were much cooler than our Google tablet. Our Google tablet was also lagging a lot. My dad argued that it was because it was old. I argued that iPads had so many more intuitive features. For example, the iPad has a four finger swipe up multitasking bar and I five finger swipe to exit the app. Many games that weren’t available on the Google Play Store were suddenly available on the iPad’s App Store, such as Light Bike 2. The iPad also has the ability to take screenshots, invert colors, speak what is on the screen, and turn on a restriction that stop little kids from exiting apps and spending your money while they are using your iPad. The only negative point I could find on the iPad, was that it was expensive. My dad also insisted that the iPad as worse, because it was made by Apple, and Apple’s stocks were going down. Apple’s stocks were also worth less than Google’s.

 I got a slide-out phone last year. This was obviously only for communication by text or call. This was neither a Google phone or an iPhone, This year my dad got himself a Google phone. I still prefer iPhones. The only negative about an iPhone is that they are extremely expensive. The iPhone 5s covers for that by  integrating a small fingerprint scanner. The iPhone 5s is also light, thin, and durable. I don’t see any Google phone able to do that.

All in all I prefer Apple when it comes to phones and tablets, but if I want something cheaper Google is the way to go for me. What companies do you prefer for phones and tablets. Feel free to comment below!
