If you've never owned an Apple computer, you do not know what you're missing. On the other hand, if you use Macintosh computers, you understand that once you have a Mac, never to return. An Apple Macintosh - whether it is a MacBook, a Mac Pro or iMac - personal computing leads to a whole new level. I bought my first iMac in 1998, have been updated twice, and I'm still happy as a proverbial worm. So here are five reasons to love the Apple Macintosh.

 

If there's one thing Steve Jobs can do, which is the design of electronics that are ultra-cool but beautiful and elegant. Why have a big complicated desktop box when you can have everything you need in a sleek iMac? Behind that clear, bright monitor 16:10 aspect ratio is the complete kit, including a DVD drive and a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo. There's even a webcam built into the iMac so you can video chat or video whenever the whim strikes.

 

Although Windows copied the easy desktop interface for Apple Macintosh, which have not yet been able to do well. Navigating the Mac interface is really intuitive, attractive, and just absolute fun. With a mobile computer product like the MacBook, you can have full computing functionality wherever you go. And wherever you go, you're always connected, since the MacBook automatically finds nearby wireless networks and gives you access online almost instantly.

 

Macintosh computers are designed to embrace the digital lifestyle. IMac and MacBook comes with iLife, a wonderful array of applications that let you share photo albums effort, recording podcasts and songs, and even create and edit movies. You can even post their creations on the Web with one click. Is not it great?

 

If you have been struggling with Vista for the past few months (or any other Windows operating system, for that matter), do not know the meaning of freedom. Macintosh systems are operating error-free, and as for upgrades, you can choose when to receive software update notifications, and always have the option to upgrade now or in the future. Mac, just not intrusive, you get to control the technology, rather than having control technology.

 

Macintosh computers are more than a way of having fun in their spare time. They are also workhorses. For years, graphic artists and editors have been used almost exclusively Mac for work. With the Mac Pro, you can get Adobe Creative Suite 3, a set of tools designed specifically for creative professionals. Whether you're a web designer, graphic artist, an art director or a professional video, Adobe Creative Suite 3 will make your work easier, better and more fun.

 

Some say that Macintosh computers are limited because much of the available software is only compatible with PCs. My experience is that my Mac can do anything a PC can do - and do better. But for those fans who insist they can not live without Windows, the next version of Mac OS X Leopard will let you install Windows XP on a Mac can now run Windows in emulation mode ... although for the life of me I do not understand why you would want!
