  1. You’re so right. Macs are awesome. After using Windows for years, I switched to Mac last year and I’ve never had a single problem. Good choice! 🙂

    1. I love my computer, but I’m frustrated that when something breaks, I have to spend hours/days figuring out what the problem is, and sometimes I’m wrong! I guess I’m getting too impatient with random hardware failures.

  2. I actually prefer normal windows PCs to Macs since I generally understand what my pc does and yes they do go wrong and they do die but I find it just a hassle to get windows stuff to work on Macs. I build my own systems so I guess I’m just more used to it when things do blow up.

  3. I’ve been a Mac owner for about 18 years so I’m probably a little biases lol. They do last a long time, and yes with very little maintenance. The downside is because iMacs are literally ‘plug and go’ computers (seriously, you literally just unpack it, plug it in and it’s pretty much ready to go) is you can’t do much upgrading to them either. My advice would be if you’re really set on a Mac, get one with the highest specs because it will last longer. I’ve had my iMac since 2009, and it still runs great, and can even handle SL reasonably well. My husband has an Asus gaming computer, which is also really nice. He’s had it for 2 years with no serious issues. But really…seeing SL all big and beautiful on a 27″ all-glass monitor is nice 😀

  4. Thank you so much for the lovely compliments. Sorry to hear you’ve been having computer issues. As far as Macs go, btw, I will say there are pros and cons and I agree with Tracy’s suggestion. You also should splurge for Apple Care too.

  5. I switched to a Mac 5 years ago. After owning a Dell that gave me nothing but issues since the day I opened the box, Dell customer service giving me the run around until my warranty was up I have owned the SAME Mac and never had one issue with it.
    The only thing I have had to do was add some more ram to it which was SO easy for me to install myself. When I used a PC I would never dream of having the same machine for more than 4 years. By year 2 you are starting to want an upgrade. By year 4 you are beyond needing an upgrade.
    I am sure if I went out today and bought the most recent Mac I would be blown away…but honestly I am still very satisfied with the one I have. 🙂

  6. Well I switched to mac 5 years ago but I’m afraid they are not as problem free as people would like to have you believe. My 16 month old retina macbook pro had $2200 worth of repairs in its time and finally Apple gave up on it and presented me with a new one, a couple of weeks ago. Luckily the repairs were done under warranty and Applecare and were no cost to me. But after a new display, two new trackpads, one wifi card, a logics card and a new charger, it was deemed not worth repairing again when I had the latest problems. I’m very glad I live close to an Apple store!
