Hi, Guest
Like I said earlier. I guess it's a designer computer. The whole experience from purchase to final use is amazing. All the components match, and speak to each other. I don't have sit for 3 days downloading drivers, anti, virus software, and anything else that is going to say, tell my modem to recognize my 3rd phone line.
As far as shopping goes....
I book a personal shopper on-line, walk into the store, get a personal show on how to use the machine, pick one and buy one. I don't even need to goto the counter. They swipe my payment right on the floor, and I walk out with a computer.
I don't need to wait 3 weeks for it, or for someone to build it, drive out to Tiger Direct to buy cables, and a better monitor etc.
Not to mention, I bring in my old computer and they transfer files for free right before my eyes. Even though this is one cable and about 3 seconds to complete, No fuss no muss. I go home with a computer that needs nothing more than a power source.
Now when it comes to my programs, it's a no brainer. The programs are designed to work on Macs so use is a snap. I don't need to set my print drivers up differently, colours are industry standard, keyboard commands are standard (I don't need to learn new ones) etc...
I can work 3 hours on a project and not worry about my computer crapping out on me at any given moment. It automatically saves my work, and if for whatever reason the power goes out, it picks up right where I left off.
I think what it comes down to is PCs are built for a completly different kind of user. If you like to build s*** out of Meccano and tinker with stuff, PCs are for you. If you like to use your computer trouble free and have it be reliable, and actually accomplish something...Macs are the way to go. My time is too valuable to worry about upgrading my sound card.
Like I said beofre, I've had way too many presentations come to an awkward screeching halt because of a computer that just doesn't perform. I like to make myself look stupid, I don't need a computer to do it for me.
Have a look at the Apple commercials.... they're not far off.
To each their own.
