The Mac Book Generation

With the world relying more and more on technology each day, the computer industries need to keep up with people’s demands. Competition has gone back and forth between different PC’s, until a whole new revolution of computers was created: the Mac. The Mac has taken people by surprise, as most college students prefer these to PC notebooks. Walking around campus or a library at college, you can notice how many people switched over to this new, incredible machine. The Mac has a special operating system known as snow leopard that is extremely preventative against viruses. Since it runs on its own system, there are almost no known viruses that were created yet. It is extremely difficult for hackers to create viruses on a new system. On the other hand, hundreds of thousands of viruses are out there that can pop up into a windows notebook. Many people believe that windows is more prone to viruses than a Mac, and this is true. Some people do not even bother inputting virus software into their Mac because the chances of getting one are slim. In addition, the Macbook is an investment that will last a long time. Looking at a PC laptop, they usually have parts that break down after a few years that need replacement, or even the problem of buying a whole new computer. The Mac can last a person for years and years to come as long as they take care of it and keep it in good shape. The best thing about a Mac is that it is extremely simple to replace a dead battery or to upgrade to newer software. Battery life works well with Mac’s, but of course like every piece of technology, it will slowly die down. When this happens, the simplicity of buying and installing a new battery takes no effort and is cost effective.
Given that there are new software changes every year, it is beneficial to have a simple way to keep up with the technology. As technology keeps advancing daily, people need a simple way to utilize it. Mac provides people with a user-friendly machine to assist them with their daily needs involved with technology. While there are many different programs that were created on a PC, Mac has taken them and simplified them into what they call “applications.” People believe that by using a Mac, which comprises of an entirely new operating system, it would take weeks of training and practice. The truth is that these applications are simple to use and they are extremely effective as well. The Mac also comes with many applications that are useful for leisure and important things for working. It comes with garage band, imovie, and many more that can make complex project easy to complete. These applications provide step-by-step assistance making it quick and easy to get used to them. The multimedia effects that come along with a Mac create superb finished products. The price range of the Mac book is fairly close to the prices of all the competing PC brands as well. With maybe a few extra dollars needed to be put towards a Mac, the investment is worth it. It provides you with a long lasting computer, endless capabilities, effective usage, and cyber safety. All of these components of the new Mac laptop give no doubt that it is the ‘laptop of the future’ and an uprising to the world of technology.
