Except when it comes to a Macbook because you know exactly the quality you’re getting. Let’s see those 10 reasons for buying an Apple computer.It doesn't matter which Apple device you have, it should be able to connect with any other Apple device. (Source: FirmBee)1: Apple’s Networked SystemThe Apple Store is great! The best thing, you know that every Apple product is made to work perfectly with Apple products: whether you’re sharing your photos on the iCloud, synchronising notes, or recognising programs. Basically, when you choose Apple computers, you know exactly what’s available.You’ll notice that some laptops run really slowly. On some Windows PCs, it can be difficult to synchronise your photos and apps or even get some devices working. When it comes to Macs and iPhones, in just one click, everything’s saved.2: Mac’s Utility for WorkIf you use your Mac for work or for study, you can rest assured that it’s perfectly suited to what you’re doing. While a lot of people think that PCs are business types and Macs are creative free-spirits, this is no longer the case. Apples are powerful and versatile machines.Why?Macs generally come with a lot of RAM, especially the Pro versions, which can come with up to 128Gb of RAM.Screens range between 11” and 17”, meaning that in addition to being portable, they’re also very comfortable to use. That said, you can also alter the brightness with the simple touch of a button, allowing you to work anywhere, anytime.However, word processing isn’t as easy on a Mac as it is on a PC since Microsoft Word is primarily designed to be used with Windows. That said, the Mac version isn’t terrible.3: Fewer VirusesUnlike Windows PCs, Macs are much better protected against viruses. While some people say that Macs don't get viruses, that isn't necessarily true. However, there are significantly fewer viruses being created to attack Apple products so there are fewer things to worry about.Of course, you still need to be careful when opening links and suspicious emails as your data can be stolen by a scam just as easily on a Mac as it can on a Windows PC.By choosing a Mac, you’re choosing security. This is especially useful if you’re working with sensitive information.4: TimeMachineSaving your data on a workstation or a hard disk can be a complicated process if you’re transferring data between your phone and computer, for example. With TimeMachine, you just need to launch the app and all of your data will be backed up. If you lose some data for some reason, you can restore the latest version very easily.It should be noted you can’t connect USB or a card to MacBook Air. However, you can on a MacBook Pro.5: Macs Start-Up QuicklyLinux systems can take some time between turning on and showing the home screen. With Macs, you won’t be worried about your system crashing like you might be with a Windows system.  This is even true for the iMac, an all-in-one desktop computer.6: Mac Shortcuts Improve ProductivityShortcuts can drastically improve your productivity by allowing you to do complex actions quickly and simply . While they also exist on Windows, they’re not as intuitive.While a lot of people think PCs are just for business, Macs can also be useful! (Source: Free-Photos)Some models can use shortcuts both on Bluetooth mice and keyboards.7: Apple’s Pre-installed SoftwareIf you’re familiar with the Office Suite, you’ll quickly fall in love with some of Apple’s own software like Numbers, Pages, and Photobooth. You can also easily install other software packages like Photoshop and InDesign on a Mac. Programs like iMovie allow you to make your own videos or edit photos.8: Beautiful DesignThis is what sets Macs apart, their legendary design which is both modern, minimalist, and customisable. Apple products tend to have a decent graphics card and will display a beautiful desktop.Design comes at a cost, check out our price guide to computers, and read our article guide PC vs. laptops.9: Macs Can Run WindowsYou can also install Windows on a Mac. This might seem odd given that Macs have the ir own operating system, MacOS. This is really useful if you want to run certain Windows programs or make the most out of the Office Suite. This is particularly useful if you enjoy gaming as a lot of games don't work on Macs.When it comes to desktop computers, this can make your Mac really flexible and adaptable. You’ll have a machine with no limitations.Want to expand your knowledge of computers and get the most out of your mac?
