I always used Mac up until this last comp, which is a PC running
Vista. I know from a number of your posts Larry, you're a computer guy and
probably much more knowledgeable than many. While I've had many older
Macs, I'm not in any way a computer guy, which is why I went with Mac in the
beginning.
I notice far fewer differences between the new PCs, and
the current range of Macs, for the way I use them. Again, for a real
computer type, I'm sure there are lots of differences.
Build
quality on a Mac, is more like that on a Benz, while I find most PCs are
Chev's. Nothing wrong with a Chev, but if you appreciate industrial
design, and build quality, you will appreciate a Mac.
The Apple site
gives a pretty good overview of their product range, along with all the specs
and prices. I understand it's quite easy to load something like XP on a
new Mac, but this came after I started to use a PC. There have always been
claims and apps to switch between to two, but I never found them any good in the
past.
One thing I have noticed over the years, Mac seem to make
much better use of the available memory, and storage space. I'm sure this
holds true for their latest offerings too. Think of it as a Porsche, where
it often looks to have less HP on paper, but it manages to get the job done,
often better than those other machines with more HP. ;-)
See if you have
an Apple store within range of you, they have their full range on display, and
usually have a very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Avoid the place a few
weeks before the kids head back to Uni though, or it will be swarming with
people.
Good luck in your search Larry.

Hi Gang -
It's not quite time yet but I'm leaning toward
switching to MAC when my
laptop needs replacing. I've had enough of
Microsoft and it's strange ways.
>From all I hear Mac is the way to
go.
How do I buy one? What specs are important? Is it
the same as a PC? Is
Apple the right one to get?
Any comments
would help - I know *nothing* about Mac except what others
have said
(largely here) - TIA -
