How To Get The Most Out Of Your MacBook Pro

If you are into technology then you know that 95% of computer users have PC's. Microsoft pretty much dominates the market. And that is not a bad thing. But the problem is most people out there in the world today don't understand what makes a Mac a Mac. This is a growing epidemic. I cannot tell you how many people I come across who say they hate using a Mac. And then I simply ask them "Have you ever used one before?" They usually say no.

How can you say you think something is no good when you haven't even tried it out for yourself? In reality, a Mac is by far the easiest computer to use. It's labeled as grandparent friendly. Now I don't know about you but I could never picture a grandparent learning how to use a PC, they would just run into way to many problems. But on a Mac however, it would be a breeze because Apple Computers designs their products to be extremely user friendly. In fact, that is what they spend the most time deveolping, the user interface.

I am actually writing this article right now on my frist MacBook Pro that I have ever owned. And it is very interesting how I came upon this one. You see, before this computer I had one of those Dell Widescreens and it was great. But my business partner had a nice brand new 17" MacBook Pro and I was super jealous. So one day after we had just got done doing a video shoot for a client I was loading up all the gear into my car and had set my laptop down agaisnt the back wheel of my car. Finished loading everything else up and then proceeded to back out. Net thing I know I run over a huge bump, which felt like I had just ran over a child or something. I was tripping out. So I get out of my car in a hurry only to find that I had done none other than run straight over my Dell. That thing was curshed almost in half. Absolutely no chance of survival.

Ironically, about a week before this happened my bank had issued me a new credit card for Neer Design, my web design business with something like a $2000 dollar limit. So i don't know if this was fate but you better believe a week later I had a brand new MacBook Pro in my hands, and as soon as I pressed that crisp power on button I vowed never to use a PC ever again. The Mac was just was to clean. I mean it looks absolutely stunning. It is probably the fastest computer I have had yet. And if you really love windows all that much you can run XP or Vista on it. And for that reason alone, no one should ever get a PC again. Because why get a PC when you can get a Mac and have the best of both worlds. Mac made this possible because they have recently switched from their Power PC chips to Intel chips which allows them to run the same architecture as a PC.

Now that I have my Mac, I am able to so many things with such ease that I was not able to do with a PC before. Or at least without experiencing plenty of problems along the way. One of the most lucrative features about the Mac is that they cannot receive viruses. Well I shouldn't say can't, you can sure as hell get one if you are running windows on your Mac. But than that, viruses do exist for the Mac, but they are so rare to come by, that it is not really a big issue.

I just want to make one more point. If you are invovled in design in any way shape or form. You need a Mac. That is what they are built for. Mac's are literally the industry standard for producing Hollywood movies, music, special effects and everything else like that. So if you haven't tried one out yet, it's about time you run over your PC so you have no choice but you get a Mac.
