Macs are still a minority choice when it comes to desktop and laptop PCs. According to recent statistics, just under 16 percent of PCs are using OS X, compared to 73.54 percent that use Windows.
Yet you’ve probably noticed that people who buy a MacBook absolutely love their machines. So, why buy a Mac? What makes it stand out from its Windows and Linux-based rivals?
In this guide, we’re going to take a look at the top reasons to buy a MacBook, and why you should consider getting one, no matter who you are. Ready to learn more? Then read on!
1. Easier to Use
You’ve probably heard the “it just works” cliche about Macs. The problem is, this is a cliche that happens to be true. When you compare macOS to Windows, you’ll notice how all of the key functions that you’ll ever need are easily accessible and don’t require much technical know-how.
Its layout is clean too. Everything you want is there and ready to go.
That’s not to say that macOS can’t get complicated, but like its UNIX-based brethren in Linux, the complexity is hidden under the surface. If you never want to get under the hood, you’ll never have to.
2. Built-in Apps
OS X comes with a great range of apps built-in and ready to go. You get access to office software, iMovie for video editing, Photos for photo editing and viewing, and Apple Music.
If you want to do something on your Mac, the chances are that the software is already included. You don’t need to download or buy other software. It’s right there waiting for you.
3. Strong Security
Macs tend to get fewer viruses than Windows. This is because Macs are less popular than Windows machines, and criminals want to target as many people as possible.
Macs also come with built-in antivirus and firewall that can stop threats from compromising your security.
The strong security also combines with the ease of use. If something does go wrong and you need to learn how to fix a broken MacBook, you likely won’t be overwhelmed with complicated and technical information: most fixes will be easy.
4. MacBooks Hold Their Value
Macs are expensive. There’s no getting around that: even if you get an education discount or other discount, you’re still going to be handing over a pile of cash in exchange for your MacBook.
However, over the long term, Macs tend to hold their value far better than Windows machines do, which means that you can sell them and get back a lot of your initial investment.
5. They’re Easy to Buy
When you’re buying a MacBook, you choose your model, choose your specification, and you’re done. When you buy a Windows machine, there’s such a massive range of choices that it’s easy for your eyes to glaze over.
