If you want to be more productive in life and have less problems when it comes to your computers your obviously left with only 2 choices.
1. A nicely “sweet” designed Mac that functions properly because the hardware and software are all made and designed by Apple. Every little angle is cleverly thought long and hard over.
or
2. A PC. Something that’s just scraped together, lets just write some code and call it Windows and give it to anyone that wants it. And let every one else build the computer. To me a PC is like a red headed step child or a garden that’s partially tended to.
You would think Microsoft, that by just focusing on building software for computers could be the best at that. Being that its their core business. Or was…
Why Should You Be Using a Mac Instead of a PC and How Can The Mac Make Your Life Easier and More Productive
First Off – Apple’s Cool – come on, how many companies were in the cell phone business before Apple and all the sudden they step right up and make a cooler phone than anyone with useful apps to add to it.
Usually Well Thought Out – Apple doesn’t really ever miss on some products but two are the Apple TV and iPod Touch. The Apple TV will probably get ironed out someday but the recent iPod Touch update could have been better by having a video recorder but that would have probably hurt iPhone sales, maybe…
The Design Features – most computers are scrapped together by several different pieces and parts of all kinds from different manufacturers. Apple covers every angle in making sure little details stand out like the smoothness of their lap tops. They actually consider how people use their computers and realize people appreciate a cool design.
Less Problems -Apple Products are Holistic and interconnected. know I’m going to get a product where I’m not being asked to purchase an anti-virus program every time I get onto my computer. While having my MacBook Pro I actually have had less crashes and freezes than my older PC I demolished.
You Get Software Designed and Coded by Apple - when you buy an Apple you get iPhoto and iMovie and other programs free. If you buy a PC you have to go get inferior software designed by other companies either free or for an additional price. When you buy from Apple your getting a complete solution from hardware to software.
Apple Has Good Support – When I first got my MacBook Pro I called up support several times just to ask stupid questions I could have figured out elsewhere but I called them and they actually speak English. Now they probably all don’t but all 3 times I called I spoke to someone with an English accent. Plus if you have an Apple store nearby you can get your questions answered there too.
Their The Best – I hate 2nd rate things. Don’t we all want to be the best, be around the best, and have the best things, “according to our taste”. For instance look at any sport team. Say their playing really bad but then all the sudden go on a long winning streak, everyone starts jumping on the bandwagon.
Apple Has Cool Commercials – lets face it, the PC commercials suck. Whoever is in charge of marketing at Microsoft ought to be fired. But when you think about it, the only real thing Microsoft can compete on is price. So… if you want a lame computer go get one!
Why You Shouldn’t Care About Apple’s Prices – what I do care about is NOT buying a crappy computer that has less features, tons of design imperfections, more potential problems with software, and an interface that’s harder to use. I’d rather buy something I will enjoy.
Apple must be doing something right when everytime they do a major launch people actually camp out at Apple stores to get the product. While that may be a little extreme, when was the last time your customers were that enthusiastic about your products or ideas…
PC users don’t camp out at a store for their next big launch. If they do I haven’t heard of it…
OK Now for the PC
You know I don’t really want to talk about PCs. If you have one your either already considering buying a Mac or don’t realize the difference between the two. Which means you either are worried about price so your sacrificing quality in keeping your PC or you simply don’t give a shit, a computer is a computer.
ONWARD…
Can you think of other companies that are like Apple in other industries. What are they…
When I think of base layers the first company that comes to mind is Ice Breaker. Why… They have a really good product and good marketing. Come on they have baaaaa codes from the merino sheep farm where your base layer came from, that’s cool.
Plus their base layers are really warm, feel really good, have lots of different styles, and stink a lot less after several uses.
