A computer that is great for people who don't want to do gaming and can run a special version of Microsoft office. Most people complain that the mac can't do games. This is true. However, Macs are not intended to be used for games. They are actually great for things like film making, graphic design, and other applications. However, it is not useful to the general public.
My Macintosh is great, but most people wouldn't like it, because it can't play "Doom"

Macintosh is the best type of computer available. It's often frowned upon by snooty PC enthusiasts who deem it useless and/or incapable of updating; however, it is now very easily updated. Also, Macs can run Windows, OS X, and Linux operating systems all at once! So there's no point in arguing that they can't use much software because they can run Windows applications. Also, they're faster, better in design, and simply more effective than your typical - or even your brand-new - PC.
The laptops are also stronger and have a much longer battery life.
Dude: Hey, I got this new PC and it's really cool! Glad I don't have a shitty Mac, cuz they have no programs.
Chick: Get out of the stone age, Macs have tons of programs and they're more efficient than any fuckin' PC. Get a Macintosh.
Dude: Stupid bitch! -shot-

A computer made by Apple. They come in many flavors as in the Mac Pro, the Mac mini, the MacBook Pro and Air, and then the iMac and the iMac Pro. They usually cost around 1,000USD to 5,000USD, so it's better to buy them second-hand.

On intel Macs, you can install Linux or Windows on them.
Person: "Did you see that new Macintosh? I think I might buy it."
Person 2: "Yeah you're better off getting that model of off eBay, It's way too expensive for what you get."
