I will admit that in the IT world, a Mac may not be the best or as developed. But with the majority of the business world being Windows, why would a Mac make sense?
For personal computing, which is the only thing I have ever used a computer for, I find Macs to be more enjoyable. I should be more specific and say that Apple notebooks give me the best experience.
I've mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again, solely for Pittsey's sake. Backlit keyboard is beautiful and amazing thing to have. For obvious reasons, like typing in the dark, but even during the day, they're an added bonus for visibility. At night, I watch movies in bed with the lights off. The keyboard controls are perfect for pausing, playing, volume, etc. Having them backlit is a bonus, considering the lamps in my room are controlled by a switch which I turn off. So there's no leaning over and turning a lamp on just to press pause for me.
The trackpad is also nuts. That's where the "intuitive" moniker comes into play. Sure, it's relative, and some people may not find it as "intuitive" but I haven't found a person yet that hates it. For this, I'll just have to tell you to go to an Apple store, ignore the hipsters, and just browse the web using the trackpad. Browse the menus of OSX using the trackpad. It's a great experience. You'll never want to use a mouse again.
It seems that everyone here has a different view of Apple users. In Poland, they're seen as shit and overpriced. Apparently, "no one buys them." Or no one "smart," at least. In England, from what you say, iPhones are for hipsters and stuck up twats. Fine.
But in the States, it varies. In the city, I'm sure it's a bunch of hipsters in their faggot glasses and knit hats in summer, and man-bags and shit. Where I live, in the suburbs, there are about 3 or 4 Apple stores in a 20-30 mile radius, mostly in malls. This isn't including the few in the actual city of Chicago. When I go there, there are people of all ages and colors. Especially Mexicans. It's like a museum and everyone is there looking and trying out the new stuff there. They're fascinated by it. There are little kids and old-ass geezers there. It's so diverse in that store, it's hard for me to honestly say that Apple is a company strictly for hipsters or people that know nothing about computers. If you like the way something looks, you wouldn't consider buying it? Who cares if Lenovo makes a better PC for 3/4 the price? Are you going to use all that power to begin with? If you're going to browse the web and do basic computing, it doesn't mean you buy a piece of shit hunk of plastic and be miserable every time you look at it. Some people want something pleasing to the eyes, regardless of the use of their machines.
If you go to Canada, I implore you to walk onto a university campus. Sit in a classroom or look for a place where people commonly use their computers. The rest of the world seems to be much different than Poland. And to some of us, Poland seems to be an anomaly when it comes to Apple products.
because I disagree that it's so obvious to 'love' OS X over Windows 7, especially coming from Windows 7.
