If lust is a sin, then I must be a sinner.
Ever since I bought a few Apple products something just keeps pushing me to go back. The latest “straw” that was holding me back to Windows was the fact that a while ago Macs couldn’t run it. But now everything has changed with BootCamp.
So what’s different from Mac laptops or computers and other company computers?
Well, for starters, in terms of hardware, Macs are famed to be really reliable machines. My father-in-law has a very old Mac on his store that is well over ten years old and works as well, or so he says, as it did when it came from the store.
Secondly, they come with the presently most advanced operative system available. Even though Vista will help improve the Windows experience a lot it still struggles to meet up with Tiger’s functions, and with a new version of Mac OS X coming out this summer one can’t help but wonder if Microsoft will keep playing the cat-and-mouse game with Apple, and for how long.
Third, is the price. Most people associate the word “expensive” or the though “only for rich people” as soon as they hear Apple. This is very quickly becoming a myth, as the Apple computers are getting cheaper all the time. And these latest Intel versions seem to be even cheaper their older G4 models. For $1099 you can buy the lowest entry MacBook, or one of the cheaper Acer laptops as an example.
So if the lack of compatibility between Windows and Mac is now null, because their Intel machines can run it natively. And the price is now almost equivalent to those of the Windows laptops.
What is holding you back?
If there is such a thing as a forehead sign for “sold” feel free to glue it on my head. I’m looking forward to greatly improving my computing experience. I’ve been living with Microsoft’s promises of a faster, more secure OS for far too many years. I’m going to take the step myself, instead of waiting for their Vista 2 which will be better than the upcoming version of Mac OS.
