10 Reasons Why You Need to Buy a MAC

1. It works & it’s easy (plug and play)
The average Windows home user spends between 50 and 60 hours each year troubleshooting their computer. The average Mac user spends less than 5. This figure is astonishing. Forget those detailed instructions you use with you PC. Install this, open the Run window and look for this file. You can perform a clean installation of the Mac OS without erasing any other contents of your hard drive. Macs have streamlined all installation process to simple drag and drop function. Furthermore, most of the time there is really nothing you need to do, it just recognizes the new peripheral and you’re ready to utilize it as soon as you plug it in. Double-clicking on a Mac document automatically opens the application that created it - no matter where the app is on your hard disk, your network or your server, no matter what that document is named. Additionally, You can use the characters /, ? and " in a Macintosh file name (e.g. Inventory/July, Current?); a feature unavailable in Windows.

2. It doesn't crash (OS X is UNIX-based)
Well, it can, but not as frequently as a PC. Every computer is prone to crashing, but the crash rate for a Mac is miniscule. In two years of use I can honestly say my Apple has crashed twice. In the business world, the industry standard for Windows systems is one support technician for every 25 to 60 computers. By contrast, the standard for Macintosh support is one person for every 100 to 200 machines. Need I say more?

3. It offers the best in digital music (iTunes, iPod)
It is no coincidence that iTunes is the leader in digital audio, its all about innovation at Apple. Despite its late entry into the streaming media arena, Apple's iTunes player is climbing the charts faster than its competitors. iTunes users are now downloading 2.5 million songs per week, which is an annual run rate of 130 million songs per year, helping establish the legal digital music store industry. The introduction of television shows now available for download, in addition to the ever increasing popularity of the podcast, will undoubtedly solidify the place of iTunes within this industry.
