Why You Should Buy A Mac Computer
May 8th, 2006 | Filed under Apple, Security, Tools.The punchline is “All those reasons you never bought a Mac? Not true anymore.” I found this nice article on the Apple website while checking out to buy a new Macintosh computer, better known as a Mac.
Read along Why You’ll Love a Mac which highlights some cool features about Mac computers which the PC lacks. Undoubtedly Mac computers and laptops have remarkable beauty and powerful features.
I personally have been using Microsoft Windows for a long time and was reluctant for the switch to a new software computing platform, but recently Bootcamp can instal Windows XP on Apple Mac Computers. So that is another incentive to Windows Fans to switch to a Mac.
And when they say - 114,000 Viruses? Not on a Mac. Seem very true, since there was lot of buzz amongst antivirus software manufacturers about the Kama Sutra virus which infected Macs some time back.
I particularly like the drivers tips
On a Mac, a USB, FireWire, or Ethernet cable’s all you need. Plug one end into the device. Connect the other end to your Mac. And you’re good to go. You can have absolute confidence in your Mac because it comes prepared with all the drivers you’re likely to need for the peripheral devices one generally connects to computers.
Apple is well known for its recycling programs, and they plan to offer a free computer take-back program for U.S. customers who buy a new Mac computer through the Apple Store or an Apple retail store. Buy A Mac

I just got a new Intel Core Duo iMac. One bit of advise for those looking at the new iMac:
If you’re planning to do video editing (home movies from your DV camera, perhaps), or lots of image processing (from a digital pro-sumer or digital SLR camera,perhaps), then by all means upgrade to the 500GB internal drive (largest available when I purchased…get whatever is the largest at the time.) And get the upgraded memory on the video card.
The only user-accessible upgrade on the new Intel iMac is the RAM, so upgrading the internal drive after the fact would be a royal pain most likely requiring a certified technician.
The reason I highly recommend the 500GB internal drive, as that it would be the best drive to use as your digital media scratch disk. Movie editing software (iMovie, Final Cut Pro, etc.) use a ton of disc space to help it process video. Lots of reads and writes. So, speed is very important.
My plan was to use my (2) existing external FireWire drives…which would be fine…BUT, the internal drives on the new iMac are Serial ATA (SATA), which is 4 times faster than FireFire 400 (and twiice as fast as FireWire 800), and more than 4x faster than USB 2.0. So, the interal SATA drive is the best drive to use for processing large files. Once you’re done with a project, you can archive it to an external FireWire or USB 2 drive, but there’s nothing like the speed of an internal SATA drive when you’re actually doing your work.

Contrary to popular myth, no, it own’t cost you double than a PC, because MACS come ready to rock right out of the box. You don’t need to purchase any additional software. To get the software need to make a PC do what a MAC does out of the box, you’ll far exceed the cost of a new MAC. Not to mention your time spent trouble shooting the problems that the PC is going to give you when you install all of that software that it probably wasn’t designed to run anyway.
You want to save money by purchasing a PC? Go ahead. Mac users will get more work done better and faster - have fun with your clunker that you saved so much money on.
