mac girls what makes you love your mac?
What is so awesome and cool about your mac? Why would you never go back to a PC. I am a mac girl and would never go back but when I talk to others and try to explain my passion I often just say the same things over and over...haha it seems..like it just works!
Re: mac girls what makes you love your mac?
Lack of viruses, processing speed, and searching capability. I've never had a virus with my mac (3 years old), but the PC I had before this had to be reimaged every year or it wouldn't function. The OS doesn't require much memory, so the code I run for work constantly runs twice as fast as a PC with the same amount of RAM. I also love the speed and accuracy of the Spotlight search. It searches within the code I write, not just the file names. Makes life SO much easier.
I'll take a line from my other passion...
It's a Mac thing, you wouldn't understand
How about it doesn't make me feel stupid. Mac will ask you "are you sure" type of question 1x. PC 3 or 4 times.
The design is great. I don't have to really worry about doing anything. I still have 1st gen Imac's that I can fire up and it still works and wants to work.
It come with what I need right out of the box. I don't have to buy extra software right away.
When you get down to it. The best PC on the market that is comparable with a mac with speed and screen and all the good stuff it's about the same price.
I love how sleek mine looks! It's a beautiful machine.
It doesn't tend to freeze up and the one or two times it has, it was an easy restart.
I don't get viruses.
I don't need to buy extra crap to make programs work. Everything is already there.
No viruses.
I think Macs are user friendly, much more so than a PC.
I think the security is better and safer than that of a PC.
I find the sound and picture quality are SO much better.
Have I mentioned no viruses?
Granted, PCs are cheaper, but it's a case of you get what you pay for.
Multi-tasking is easier.
I don't feel the need to upgrade my Mac all the time the way my PC friends do.
My iPhone syncs SO much easier!
And, no viruses.
I love my mac. To open any program or document I just type it into spotlight. I have four different spaces that serve as desktops and I can assign different applications to different desktops and easily navigate to them. I've never had any problems with viruses. Programs run. It's more intuitive. Do I need to say more?
One example. I use mac mail and the calendar. I get an email that says we have a meeting on Friday at 11am. I can hover over that line and it will ask me if I want to create a new calendar event and will add it to my calendar. Cool stuff like that just blows my mind.

Couldn't agree more with this! And also because I need to work with Excel and Word formats too, I love that I have Microsoft Office on it
