I jumped on the mac bandwagon some years ago and I’m hooked. Initially I was interested in the multimedia aspect but I didn’t really get too far into that. However, although I use my machine for fairly mundane stuff I wouldn’t go back to a Windows PC. I like the interface, the browser and mail integration, synchronisation with other devices. The build quality is superb, the keyboard and trackpad the best I’ve come across. Some people snipe about the price or about macs being flashy. but buying something that’s nice to use is considered normal when it comes to cars or bikes, so why not shell out a bit extra for a computer that’s beautifully made and nice to use?
Yes I accept I could get the same functionality cheaper on a Windows laptop, but I’m not going back. Oh and as far as I can tell, Office for Mac looks exactly like Office 2011 on Windows that we use at work.
