I recently used a friend's Mac Book Pro for a couple of hours, and I
played
with his wife's Iphone for a bit. I say no thanks to both. I've never been
an Apple fan, and every time I touch an Apple product I'm reminded why.


What didn't you like about the MAC?

In short, it doesn't work the way I want it to work and in many cases, each
insignificant by itself but significant to me as a whole, it doesn't do what
I want it to do. My host at the time explained that the things that I
couldn't do were all things that I didn't really need to do. He was mostly
joking, I assume, but Apple has a culture of limiting what people can do
with their products, and that seemed to be present in spades. I experienced
the same feeling when I was trying to use her iPhone. It's certainly no
Android, that's for sure.

That's my subjective analysis. Objectively, if you can do the things that
you want to do and you can deal with the way it works, then it's probably a
fine choice for you.

For me, going shopping for a computer (or a smart phone) and coming home
with a Mac (or an iPhone) is a little like going shopping for a motorcycle
and coming home with a Vespa scooter. I just can't do it.
