I’m buying a new laptop soon.
Is there a reasonable reason for a regular user to spend two or three hundred € more?
And get used to a new OS?
And cope with incompatible software/applications?
Reasonable reasons, someone?
Thanks in advance.
No. ;D
No CIS, some good (free) programs don’t work with it, some malware can infect it, etc.
I’m a PC. ;D
Haha languy99. ;D
Ok Jose…if you’re a “simpleton” get a Mac, but if you want the full “experience” (which includes some bad things ;D) get Windows. Maybe you should wait for Windows 7.
Hahaha Melih! That was a great video lol. Really well done.
While not taking one side or the other, I’ve got a slightly different take on it. We’ve been doing a usability study at work on Mac V PC. Both test groups were given a standard installation with baseline security and productivity apps installed. Each group was given a reasonably extensive list of tasks to achieve. Each group were given a version of the operating system they were unfamiliar with.
Mac users - started producing output sooner, but fumbled when things didn’t go quite the way they expected.
PC users - slower to produce equivalent output, but were able to recover from unexpected events quicker.
From a business perspective - it’s easier, in our opinion, to provide ongoing support and provide a wider range of specialised apps.
From a user perspective - Macs are fun, Macs are simple to use.
It comes down to choice - do your research and see what suits your individual requirements. Me, I’d save the money.
