Whle visiting the Apple Store, I fell in love with the new MACs. The person I spoke with at the store was so knowledgeable and so personable (maybe I fell in love with HIM?).
Anyway, I'm still on the fence....but getting close. Should I switch?
- I saw this site on "Geeks Are Sexy" that featured 5 Reasons to Switch from Mac to PC. But I need a real estate professional's perspective.
- And Apple has its Why your next PC should be a MAC
Can someone share your experience if, and when you switched from PC to MAC...
- Was it easy?
- What problems did you have?
- Does your local MLS system support the MAC?
- How about use of the Microsoft Office Suite of programs like Publisher, Word, Outlook, Powerpoint, Excel. Were they converted?
HELP?
UPDATE: I went to the Apple Store last night, Even brought my computer and back up drive. I was told that I could run the MAC using the PC software which could be partitioned. And boot up to use (learn) the MAC portion. So with all the assurances that I can do this, I was READY to buy.
I picked out a Mac with 15 inch screen. But by the time we added up what I needed, including the 3-year warranty, solid state, software programs, etc. I was looking at almost $3K investment.
Comparing what I could get with Dell, I could buy a new Dell every year for three years before I match the expense of getting a Mac. And somehow, in my head, price and familiarity trumped the excitement of getting the Mac.
Then after talking with my brother in law who was a Mac person for years but who switched to PC, he told me that he had to switch because of the software and compatibility issues relating to his job. He reluctantly gave his Mac to his son and "settled" for the PC.
