Why Macs rock
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008I 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
