A few reasons why I use a mac
In August 2008 I took the plunge and decided to make the move to the mac platform. I was very happy with using a PC, but the machine I was using at the time was struggling to do the basic tasks. This meant I was looking for an upgrade. I had thought about a mac but after completing a photography course at my local college which was taught completely on a mac I was hooked. I was very surprised at how easy it was to use, and how there was a very small learning curve when switching.
Here are a few reasons I decided to make the switch.
Build quality.
My first mac was a 2008 White MacBook, which I have to admit was very flimsy. I managed to scratch the palm rests within a few days of use. This lowered my overall opinion of the mac and something I had suffered with some cheaper PC laptops. I still have my White MacBook, it is used every day and is still in fairly good condition. I have since upgraded to a newer Unibody MacBook which is rock solid. The one feature I have noticed about the newer generation aluminium macs is the solid build quality of the machines. They are very strong while also being very lightweight.
