A few things that Mac does better

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

In today’s heated battle of Mac vs. PC, many people ask if making the switch is worth the money. Is it? You should decide yourself, but if you do any of this, then you may want to consider switching a little bit more carefully.

Blogging. While most bloggers use Windows, many of them prefer to use OS X when writing because Apple’s presentation is much nicer in view.

Blogging is a web-based activity and therefore can be done on almost any computer with an internet connection. In fact, some of my own blog posts were written on my phone using the iPhone’s WordPress application. OS X was chosen because of its focus on presentation and craftsmanship.

Video Editing. Apple’s video editing programs are now, and have always been, better than all of the rest. Among the best titles for the platform are Avid and Final Cut. OS X comes bundled with the rather decent iMovie, which is part of Apple’s bundled iLife suite.

Music. If you have an addiction to iTunes and iPods, OS X is the perfect choice for you. iTunes is naturally much faster on Macintosh than it is on any Windows PC. There is also an audio program called “Garage Band” with iLife.

That’s it for now. I was hoping on writing another article before putting this incomplete backup post on the site, but I haven’t been able to finish it. It’s huge.
