As an Apple fan, I cannot agree more...
I found the following piece of advice from MacDailyNews on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 convincing.
It well summarizes the "15 reasons why Apple Macs are still better than Windows PCs"!
Dan Warne writes for APC Magazine--Warne lists out 15 reasons on why Macs are still better than Windows (of course I would add even more..):
1. Reliable sleep mode
2. Extremely fast boot times
3. Apple uses good quality parts
4. Less blinking lights
5. Mac OS X + Windows is better than just Windows
6. Easier to troubleshoot Macs
7. A culture of good quality community software
8. More useful apps out of the box
9. Neat and contained system settings
10. Apple doesn't load the system up with crap
11. Tons of small reasons make Mac OS X better
12. Still no need for additional security software
13. Apple seems largely to be lameness free
14. Power of the Linux command line with Photoshop CS4
15. File sharing is much easier
Warne writes, "Macs just let you get stuff done, whereas Windows computers constantly find ways of annoying you."
I bought a Netbook few months ago--eePC 901 by Asus. If it is not for its over 5 hours long battery life and ultra-portability, I will definitely not buy it or use it, since the Window XP that comes with it really annoys me.
It is definitely not my "cup of tea"!
It takes time to boot up. It freezes easily. Many inconveniences loaded!!
All my computers are Mac, except this "little toy". I use it as a "No- brainer". But it actually frustrates me and gets more of my mental energy out. Wonder why people still stick with PC when they can enjoy a better computer experience with a Mac?
I assume that Apple does not launch its Apple Netbook yet because they don't want to kill the sales of iPhone, iPod Touch, MacBook Air, MacBook, and MacBook Pro.
Who will buy MacBook Air, MacBook, and MacBook Pro, if there is an Apple Netbook, and when ultra-portability is the key concern in using it outside home or office.
In fact, it is extremely easy for Apple to include the "Copy and Paste" feature in iPhone and iPod Touch. They keep on postponing because who will bother to bring along with their MacBook Air, MacBook, or MacBook Pro outside home or office, if iPhone is becoming "so all-in-one--damn powerful"!?
Read these 3 coolest books about Mac... "Inside Steve's Brain", "The Cult of Mac", and "Cult of iPod", all by Leander Kahney!
You gonna love them...It tells why people (and I) become Apple Evangelists in the first place (luckily or unluckily without being paid)....
A strong brand is always still a strong brand even in this global economic downturn!
