About This Brand
Apple computers usually cost more than Windows-based systems. Apple computers use Mac OS X as their operating system, which has fewer problems with viruses and other malware. Macs can also run windows. The company primarily offers several consumer lines, the MacBook Pro (laptops), the iMac (all-in-one desktops), the Mac mini (a small, budget desktop). The Mac Pro desktop is its professional line. Apple's telephone tech support is limited to three months, but you can get unlimited free tech support at the Genius Bar in Apple stores.
