What is it about Macs....?
494661
I use a Mac, I used to use a PC but I found Macs to better cater to my personal needs. In general Apple is a very self contained company, Mac computers are made by Apple and only Apple so they are able to assure the quality and safety of their products. Unlike PCs which are made by a lot of different companies so quality control is often up in the air. Macs are almost (keyword is almost) virus-proof. Lately they have found a few viruses that can cause some issues on a Mac but Apple is determined to search out and find programs that can harm Macs and find ways to protect their product. That being said, many "career types" find Macs useful for all of the new editing programs, overall reliabilty and flexablity compared to PC's. The editing programs (some of them are even built-in) allow you to do some amazing editing of music, images and video feed. They are also converting a lot of the very common programs on PC that users are fimilar with to Mac (especially Microsoft programs in particular, like Microsoft Office.) There is even a new program called Virtual PC which you can install on your newer Macs and you have the power to have Windows on Mac and install "Windows Only" programs on Mac. It even allows you to switch back and forth between Mac and Windows interface when necessary. Its very powerful program with a lot of potential. One of the downsides to Macs is that they are a bit behind in the games department but with the power of Virtual PC that probably shouldn't be a issue for much longer.

I like Macintosh Computers because:\n\n1. They are very stable. Windows-powered computers are usually very unstable due to driver problems and what not. With the Mac, though, everything is already handled by Apple so you don't have to worry about it.\n2. Plug-in-play, without the drivers. You can use most any piece of hardware that you want, without having to install drivers.\n3. No viruses. People don't target the Macintosh computer with viruses.\n4. Great multimedia power. Mac OS X works great with Photoshop, Bryce and a few other programs.\n5. Run Windows alongside Mac OS X. Now you can partition your drive with Boot Camp.\n6. Macs do Office too. Apples have their own version of Microsoft Office.

Well apple is primarily known as the premier for video and photo editing.  I can honestly not tell you why, but i guarntee that i am right...my g/f goes to the best art school in the country, Pratt institute of art, and they only have mac's in the computer art area, any real graphic design artist you ask will tell you that mac's are leaps and bounds ahead of pc's in the world of video and still editing...i  don't know why, but this is the reason for mac lovers.....

Hi there...consider the following free discussion forums for Mac:\n\nApple: http://discussions.apple.com/\nMac OS X Hints: http://forums.macosxhints.com/\nMac Forums: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/\nMac Rumours: http://forums.macrumors.com/\nMac NN: http://forums.macnn.com/\nMac Fixit: http://www.macfixitforums.com/

Mac User Here :)\n\nI prefer the Mac OS in general because it is more stable and more efficient.  The last thing you want is a frozen computer or re-start in the middle of a project.  \n\nPrice is comparable now (if you compare apples-to-apples); granted, they sell PCs for cheaper, but the specifications on those are also significantly less.  \n\nThe new Intel Macs can now run both Mac OS and Windows.  That is what I currently use, so IF in the design world, some of your clients or partners "must" use Windows, your Mac can boot both operating systems.  I use the Mac OS almost 90% of the time except the occasional need to boot into Windows\n\n\nRecommended hardware (minimal):\n- Mac: I would recommend at least a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo processor\n- PC: 3.0Ghz Intel processor or equivalent\n- As large of a hard drive as you can get (80GB miminum)\n- I would say at least 1GB of memory (RAM), and again, the more the better\n\nSoftware: Cannot beat Photoshop and the rest of Adobe's Creative Suite.  However, Adobe is planning to release CS3 in Spring 2007, and so the current CS2 may not be worth it unles you really need it.

If your looking at a mag the only reason people get mac is for the graphic programs, the new intel macs have not been proven yet, I dont recommand any product till it's been out in the market for a year.\n\nIf you looking for a PC just buy an xp windows base computer.

I've used both Mac and PC, and really there's almost no difference.\n\nThe reason you don't hear about Mac viruses is because there are so few Mac users out there, especially in business applications, that is just doesn't effect enough people for it to be big news.

Yes.  I used to be a PC user until I saw the light.  The great thing about Macs is that everything just works.  It's easy to use and I don't have to worry about viruses (Not as much as I would using a PC anyway).

you can get osx to run on a dell or an amd. I got bored and its running on my work pc which is a dell and its also running on my xBox. you just need to be not a noob. but honestly if you just switch to mac you will fall inlove. Trust me i switched about 19 months ago. I am an A+ certifed technician my last pc was an AMD 64 FX 53 with 4 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte of hdd. i loved my windows but needed a mac cert for my new job so i got one thinking this will suck. i sold my pc 6 weeks later. mac is the only thing i need its so much nicer

One of the best things about a Mac is that there is phenomenal support for multiple languages.\n\nIt's part of the OS X CD you'll get when you get your Mac, on it you will find language packs that allow you to do everything from set the language on the system (and easily switch between languages without a reboot), as well as add languages to your keyboard (so you can enter information using whatever character set you want).  It basically works just like you would expect if you are used to Japanese input  methods.\n\nYou'll find your International options in System Preferences.  By default, the additional language packs are not installed.  When you choose Japanese, it will require you to insert your OS X CD.  It's pretty much that simple.\n\nHave fun, and enjoy your Mac!

MAC is like living in a condo where your every movement is restricted.  You can't own dogs or pickup trucks and putting a Christmas reef on your front door is prohibited.  You get bored out of your mind because every day is the same and there is no variety. The advantage to this is that everything works smoothly and orderly and people that aren't really bright and have no ambition can handle living there.\n\nPC is like living in a mansion on a large estate where anything you say goes.  You are free to do stupid as well as smart things.  You can let your grass grow tall and turn your stereo up all the way.  People (programmers) from all over the world give you stuff for free.\n\nIn other words, the Mac is for simple minded people that can't figure out how to operate a PC.

Maybe when more than 5% of the computer users in the world start using macs. I can't see why they would.

Macs are a step down from Windows.  Therefore, it has less features and less updates than Windows.  If you want more updates get Windows.
