Practical issues Comment I was asked if I, as a Mac user, would recommend one to a business user who is buying a personal machine for business use. I am the proud owner of an iconic Mac PowerBook G4, an eye-catching brushed metal effort that I purchased back in 2004. I have never owned a Mac desktop, being strictly Intel/Microsoft, but I travel enough using the Mac as a main machine to attempt some type of comparison.â¦

Itâs much flatter and sleeker than typical desktop PC keyboards. I found it easier to type with.â Boehret goes on to explore iLife â08, âI quickly picked up on how to use the new features in iPhoto and iMovie, thanks to unintimidating, self-explanatory icons.â She continues, âMy video camera was instantly recognized when I plugged it into the iMacâ and âin just about 15 minutes, I created a short movie.â Boehret concludes, âThe new programs in iLife â08 are a pleasure to use, and the new iMac is a great way to experience them.â

âAs I look at a newly arrived MacBook Air laptop,â writes Dean Takahashi , âit occurs to me there has never been a better time to switch to a Mac.â And he points to the new MacBook Air as âa great example of the faster innovationâ that Apple offers customers. âThe design is attractive and nobody can boast having a thinner notebook computer. It has an innovation dubbed Remote Disc. You install a disk on a desktopâs DVD drive. Then you can use your MacBook Airâs Remote Disc function to take over the DVD drive and install software into the MacBook Air. Itâs an innovation that may signal the beginning of the end of disk media.â

After putting Leopard through its paces, Dean Takahashi (San Jose Mercury News) finds it is aptly namedââItâs fast and sleekââand concludes that the latest version of Mac OS X âgives Apple [an] advantage over Microsoft.â It offers âmore than 300 new features, making it the biggest upgrade in a long time,â and âa lot of the features allow you to do things more quickly and more easily.â That includes iChat, which, he says, âgot a good makeover. Besides doing video chats with the built-in Webcams on Macs, you can now use them to share any kind of file with the person youâre chatting with. You can also take over that friendâs desktop in case youâre diagnosing the machine from afar.â

&#147;The iMac G5 is completely user serviceable,&#148; writes Leander Kahney for Wired News. &#147;With its simplified, modular interior, the machine was designed to make it easy for consumers to perform their own repairs. If something goes wrong, Apple dispatches a spare part, and the owner performs the do-it-yourself repair, from swapping out a faulty hard drive to installing a new flat screen. The new iMac is perhaps the most user-serviceable machine on the market.&#148; [Nov 01]
