What are the major deficiencies of the Apple Mac computer?

To be honest, that is a rather loaded question. I use Macs at home and a Windows machine at work, and one of my computers at home has a Windows partition (BootCamp). I could expound on the deficiencies of Windows computers, but I won't. If price and performance are not concerns, then I can't think of any deficiencies (at least how I would view them), and I don't view anti-Mac bias as a legitimate business practice in any event.

Just about every software program that comes out is always PC first and Mac second (if it even comes out for Mac at all). There are countless PC-only programs that won't run natively on a Mac, especially games.

And it's funny that you mention that "price and performance are not concerns" because a Mac is inferior in both departments.

Hi ww,

You’re thinking about getting a Mac but you want a bunch of Windows Nazis to talk you out of it first? Is that what this question is about?

Well, I can’t talk you out of it, because I think that the Mac, and especially the Mac OS are superior to Windows. It runs quicker, leaner and more trouble-free with less hassles and you don’t need to be a technical wizard to keep it working, it simply works.

Go to Apple’s web site for Windows Switchers to learn more:

As far as software, since Mac OS X has a Unix kernel, we see a lot more programs for the Mac that we never used to. Many of them are Unix ports, but many are native Mac OS programs. And, also with the iPhone and iPod Touch, we are beginning to see a lot of development, that used to be Windows only.

I know that games are few and far between. Don’t you have an X-box, or Playstation for your gaming? I’d be happy to e-mail you some links to my favorite Macintosh download sites if you’re interested.

I hope that you’ll ignore that bad-mouthing Windows Nazis and consider getting a Mac. Best of luck.

It somewhat relies upon on your funds and what you want to do with it. once you're merely finding to browse the information superhighway, watch some movies, and consider some eBooks then i might get an iPad. in case you want to play some certainly video games, often write essays for college, and extra extensive use then i might get a working laptop or computing device. pills like the iPad are actually not computing device replacements, yet. they're very limited in what they could do, and have no actual keyboard which will make it complicated to style for long classes of time. in case you wanted a style of blend between a working laptop or computing device and a pill, i might relatively advise the ASUS top which will come out in some days. It has the processing power of a working laptop or computing device with its Quad center processor (two times as many an and iPad2 or 4 cases as an iPad1), it runs the latest version of Android which will make issues slightly much less stressful once you're a pupil because of the fact it facilitates you to connect archives to emails, browse archives like on a working laptop or computing device, and upload archives like a working laptop or computing device (I truthfully have many cases uploaded a final minute essay or homework project to my college's on line "dropbox" making use of my Android telephone which i could not do with my iPhone 4S) and right here comes the computing device blend, it has an non-obligatory keyboard dock which will fold up and make it look like a working laptop or computing device. The keyboard dock will additionally upload approximately 6 hours of battery existence making it approximately 18 hours finished. and because this could be a pill, it is going to likely be very very easy and skinny. And, you may desire to get rid of the keyboard in case you ever merely wanted to apply the pill itself. i might take a glance at it in case you wanted a compromise.
