Why should you choose a Mac over a PC? Martyn Casserly offers ten reasons why Macs are better than PCs. 1) They make people happy Computers are meant to make our lives easier. This is harder to achieve when the device in question keeps popping up messages from its anti-virus software and hiding essential features behind a baffling new operating system. Macs are simple to use and incredibly reliable, which is why they’ve scored the highest in customer satisfaction surveys for ten years straight. 2) They come packed with useful software When you get your shiny new machine home the first thing you want to do is use it. With a PC this will take a little time as out-of-the-box Windows 8 has hardly any useful, quality apps. In fact manufacturers are paid to include trials and various useless software that can be hard to uninstall. A Mac arrives loaded with the excellent iLife package, a powerful mail client, and very soon the full iWork online package - all for free.
