Apple Computers


            Two years ago, I had to make one of the biggest purchases of my life: a computer for college. It really came down to two options: an Apple computer or not an Apple computer. I decided to get an Apple computer and pay a little more than I would have had to if I didn’t get an Apple computer. After having the computer for some time and really getting to know the ends and outs of what it can do, I am very happy with my decision.
            One of the main reasons I believe that Apple computers work better than others is that Apple makes both the hardware and the software. The computer interacts better with the operating system better than any other computer I have ever used. When you buy an HP laptop, HP makes the hardware and Microsoft makes the software. They work well together because the laptop and software are made for each other, but there are some things that they can’t do as well as Apple computers. One of these things is the track pad. Apple laptops make using your computer so easy because the track pad works so well. Two fingers allow you to scroll. Three fingers allow you to go to the top or bottom of a page. Four and five fingers allow you to scroll through applications that are open. This is a big advantage to my computer.
            Another reason Apple computers are so popular is they work well with other Apple products. Many people have ipods or iphones, and it is easy to transfer data between your computer and these devices. You can do this on other computers as well, but it is not as easy or user friendly.
            Apple computers are growing in popularity with every passing year. More and more people are switching from a PC to a Mac because of how easy they are to use and how well the hardware and software work together. I believe this is good for everyone because other companies have to work hard to keep up with the cutting edge technology that Apple is producing.
