After years working with Pc , I got my mac at last, and it is so much easier to work with and it looks so cool, I love it
Rating: - The best personal computers out there
Why would anyone buy anything other than Apple computers? They just work. No monkeying around.
This is my 3rd Apple laptop.
Nothing else is needed.
Rating: - Best computer I ever owned....
I bought a macbook in April (bigger hard drive than the ones listed here), and I also have Parallels and Windows XP on it. Now after using windows for 20 years, I figured there would be a learning curve. I was very surprised how easy this computer is to use. Somethings I had to learn, but for the most part I took it out of the box and I was up and running.
After 5 months of use, I never had a problem with my system. I have over 5,000 photos, about 1,000 videos, 5,000 songs, and a bunch of other software for work/school/church ministry (30,000 or more documents). With the mac apps I have switched to, I find that they are more stable and more intuitive than MS Windows based apps.
I recommend this computer very highly. In fact, because of the quality and stability - I bought my wife a mac mini (she did not want a laptop).
Buy this computer and you will be very pleased. You can do anything that MS can do, and better with the right native mac OS X apps. and if it is not on a mac, well.... you can still run Windows on this computer in bootcamp or a virtual machine like VMFUSION or PARALLELS...
Everyone I know that has tried a mac, or has seen mine, now wants one.
As for those posts about a mac crashing - ok maybe 1 or 2 in a manufactoring run may have a defect (but that is the nature in electronics in general); but everyone I know who has switched to a mac never has had a problem. I do suggest the Applecare warrenty, just in case. But unlike other laptops - this is the first one that something did not break, nor have I had to reformat the hard drive after a few months.... 5 months of everyday use for 4-5 hrs or more and still running like the day I took delivery on it.
With mac os x, I found I did not need all the software I had - as a lot is built into the operating system and iLife that comes with the computer.
Time machine backups is great. It makes an exact copy of the hard drive, then copies of every files. I could just unplug the external hard drive and plug it into another computer (PC or MAC) and browse right to the file - unlike other backup software that requires special disks and mounting the drive.
also, I bought a Wacom Bamboo tablet and plugged it in. recognized it with no problems. Turned on the inkwell and handwriting recognition in the preferences for OS X, and now I have a tablet-like PC. while I cannot write directly on the screen, this is the next best thing.
Switching from windows to this was a breeze.
Rating: - Ha...What's a PC?
I've used PCs all my life and I swore by them for years. The mac has always caught my attention with her sexy self! But like most...I was afraid of change. Well the last PC I bought was the reason why I actually finally made the decision to purchase my Macbook!
I bought a HP laptop, and from day 1, I had nothing but problems! I kept it for almost 2 years and happily GAVE it to my sister. I just purchased my Mac yesterday...(wooooooohoooooooo!!!!) I do apologize, I just had to get that out...but I'm deeply deeply in love with my Mac. She treats me like a king...what can I say?
I love the genie effects it boasts, it makes it more fun even when you're taking care of serious business for work or school. The glossy screen makes things a lot better as well. You have the camera with bluetooth built into the macbook, which makes chatting 100,000 percent better.
I was able to load word onto my computer in a matter of minutes and it works like a charm. I can go on and on forever about the macbook...if you're looking...trust me...go buy one and finish where I'm leaving off for the next convert.
Honestly, I feel like I was dating the average Jane(PC), and now I upgraded to Eva Mendez! I highly recommend the MAC!!!!
