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.

Comment:
This is my second Mac laptop purchase, which I bought primarily for use at work. I have not had any problems with it. The frame is sturdy, having resisted a large reference book dropping on it while closed. The image is high-quality, even without a Retina display. The OS does take some getting used to, but it is easy to accomplish tasks once understood. The Safari default browser work well, and I rarely have a problem with Office. In addition, all the programs particular to my research field that are resource-intensive run well.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
It was time to replace my 8 year old laptop and I decided to get a fancy Mac Book Pro. You get what you pay for, right? WRONG! If you like your Windows 7, Vista or even XP, just stick with it. Any of those are way simpler to use than Apple's Mountain Lion operating system. Mac is complicated and frustrating at moments. I watched tutorials and that helped somewhat but not enough. I'm a small business owner and a productivity aspect is very important to me. Windows operating system is a superior product by far. It's actually very obvious. Just look at a market share between the two concepts. I should have known better. I hope you don't make the same mistake...<br />By the way, I've returned it for a refund and I bought a new PC.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
