Why Macs rock
I just wanted to make sure I was going to make the right decision by buying a Mac, so, in this post I told you I experienced a little myself, but I also wanted to know why Mac-users are such fanatics and why they will not change back to Windows (in some cases, even if their life was depending on it).
I thought it was a good idea to use my Twitter hyve to answer me this question:
Tell me in 1 tweet WHY a Mac rocks. I will blog the 10 best tweets. Reply to @deluzione and retweet the heck out of this
I received a lot of answers, and I put the 10 best ones in a list. In random order:
- @tommsinclair because they do what they’re told
- @miketighe I can work through a large quantity of data across many applications quickly and cleanly using things like spaces, expose,
- @athenaemily Best user interface. Every detail is too pretty. Mac OS runs smoothly, literally.
- @pixeldeath Designing beautiful work on a beautiful machine is one of the reason why Mac’s rock.
- @nebrow simply put: they just work. (and they are beautiful)
- @3drockz Some of the most complicated things have been handled in the simplest way on a MAC…
- @mayhemstudios having a mac will make you one of the cool kids.
- @ylluminate Aside from UI consistency offered by Cocoa, I much appreciate the stability & recoverability offered by the *nix underpinning.
- @pgbkruit When it comes to Apple (and subsequent to Macs) it’s all about the implementation and not necesaraly the features.
- @AdamKool Mac thinks progessively and doesn’t look back. Snow Leopard is a great example. 16TB RAM support FTW!
- @behoff steamlined integration between apps – you can drag n drop all over the place on a Mac
- @DreamSpeaker Are there other computers besides a MAC?
- @b3designs they rock because they have better design than an ugly old pc
There you have it. 13 things why a Mac rocks, not because Apple says so, but from user-experience (ok, I cheated. I said I would do 10.. I made it 13 ).
My conclusion from this: Macs rock because they’re solid and pretty. I like solid and pretty.. I still want one

Would do if I could afford a Mac – my laptop runs quick and was £400, how much would an equivalent Macbook cost? At least £700 I reckon – so to be honest although Macs are just the sex, I can’t afford.
Someone buy me one?

I like the Mac because I did not have to buy any unnecessary software with it. A lot of Apps you can get for free. You don’t have to buy antivirus – yet. OS X comes with a lot of software. I don’t have to stay up until 3 a.m. tweaking or fixing my operating system because someone unknowingly downloaded spyware on my computer.
If you eavesdrop on a sales person selling a pc undoubtedly you will hear them recommend AV software every time. Where’s the cost saving in that? You get what you pay for. I’m not only saving money by not buying software I’m saving time by not having to tweak it all the time.
