Hello! So, I currently own an iPhone and iPad which I purchased this year. I love them and how they just work! Anyway as I sat and re-downloaded windows 8 because the original install was incomplete and I needed to restore my computer because it was running slow again, I began to ask myself... IS THERE A BETTER WAY!!!
I know I can not completely eliminate windows from my life because I am a student in architecture and autocad and revit aren't fully supported on Mac (actually autocad might finally be, but revit still requires windows via bootcamp or virtual machine) however, I find that I can spend 1000+ dollars on a PC and still have issues with it getting slow over time. I also hate that no Matt what I do, I will have all kinds of little issues... Downloading a file? WHY DO SO MANY THINGS DOWNLOAD LIKE 20 different apps I don't want or even know are being installed??? I am computer literate but I feel like I can't get one system to work properly.
I don't download movies, games or anything illegally from sketchy sites,
I don't watch porn on my computer
I have tried several versions of virus protection
I always try to find the best sources to download files (thingss like texture packs for minecraft or revit families or cad blocks ect)
Yet I feel like I'm always frustrated with my computer and sick of always having to restore windows when it gets slow and nothing else works... This problem becomes worse when laptops are involved. I moved lot a desktop all in one a couple years ago and still nothing. I've had regular desktops, laptops ect.
Next year I transition from community college to a university where we supposedly need laptops (I guess an iPad won't suffice) and I am curious about Mac. I know I can use bootcamp for what things I do need on windows, but hardware and software wise? I can I please get some good insight on them? I generally can't get windows laptops to properly last 3 years without needing new chargers several times, a new battery and buttons and such that stop working right or pieces falling off. I have never dropped a laptop yet I encounter all kinds of problems with them not lasting much more that three years. With apple laptops costing almost twice as much as a windows equivalent in many cases, am I still going to run into all these problems?
For windows users that now use Mac osx, what's good about it over windows feature wise, stability wise ect? Is it worth the bigger price?
Thanks
