Faster, Easier, Prettier and More Secure than a PC. |
 When
a veteran Windows user first tries a Mac®, he might feel a moment of
unease, but what follows can only be described as relief and amazement.
Here are 10 reasons why:
1. Better Out of the Box
You won't need to fritter away an afternoon getting your new Mac up and
running. Apple® takes extraordinary care to make sure its computers are
easy to set up. Windows machines, on the other hand, come bloated with
trialware and demor software that you neither need nor fully
understand.
2. Super Secure
Based on the rock-solid UNIX operating system, Mac OS® is built on a
famously secure foundation. Mac computers are immune to Windows viruses
and spyware. The easy-to-configure Mac firewall, combined with robust
Internet apps like Mail and Safari®, keep network threats at bay.
Apple's built-in FileVault® encrypts your home directory, so if someone
steals your computer, they won't get access to your files.
3. Plays Well with Windows
Actually, your Mac is a PC. Apple makes sure you can run Windows software on a Mac by building its Boot Camp® utility right into the operating system. And that's not the only solution. Try third-party utilities such as Parallels Desktop for Mac or VMware Fusion. Of course, in addition to all your favorite PC apps, you still have avvess to the multitude of brilliant Mac-only program.
4. Great Apps
Mac computers come loaded with smart apps you will actually use like
iCal®, Time Machine®, iPhoto®, iTunes® and GarageBand®. Few would argue
that Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker are as intuitive as
their Apple counterparts. And that's not to mention a passel of the most productive third-party programs including: Microsoft Office: Mac 2011, Filemaker Pro, Intuit Quickbooks, and more.
5. Network Friendly
Macs are delightfully easy to network. They are particularly good at
finding and configuring networks, whether wired or wireless,
automatically—but if you need some help, head to the handy Network
System Preferences page to run simple diagnostic walkthroughs.
Networking Windows machines rarely goes so smoothly.
6. Seamless Integration
In computing, as in life, simpler is better. Since Apple develops the
hardward and software built into the Mac, they work together seamlessly
and hassle-free. PC software has to run on different flavors of Windows
operating systems and scores of different machines plugged into
hundreds of devices. Invariably, complications arise.
7. Faster Boots and Reboots
Most Macs start up from a cold boot in 30 or 40 seconds. With Windows
PCs, reboots leave you staring at an hourglass icon that seems to be
frozen in time. Or actually is frozen in time, necessitating yet
another reboot. With the stability of a Mac, fewer crashes means fewer
reboots, a luxury that gives you more time to work rather than wait.
8. Better Looking
Apple's flair for design is legendary; the way their products look and
feel, even down to the packaging, makes hearts race. How many Windows
machines invoke such admiration? But beauty isn't just skin deep. The
Mac's clean, modern design extends to its user interface, placement of
ports and peripherals, and hardware under the hood.
9. An Operating System that Works
Not everything Apple does is perfect but the company hasn't blown a
major system upgrade the way Microsoft mishandled Windows Vista.
Released in late 2006, Vista was criticized for its security,
performance, price and digital rights management. Microsoft defended
Vista until the recently released Windows 7. No Mac system upgrade has
ever faced the same level of controversy.
10. Better Customer Support
If something goes wrong with your Windows PC, you'll find yourself
ping-ponging between Microsoft and whoever made your hardware. Apple's AppleCare®
team, by contrast, offers expert-level phone support that won't pass
the buck, or you can drop by an Apple Store or reseller for hands-on
help.
Above all, Apple has been consistently at the top of Consumer Reports'
tech-support survey for a decade. This year, Apple earned not only the
highest overall ranking, but also the top scores in laptop and desktop
tech support. |
