Apple supports the hardware and the software. Together, we can transform your living space with the latest HDTVs, computers, smart home technology, and gaming consoles like Xbox One, Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch. (Memories of "You'll need to call Microsoft Dell HP Sony come to mind). At Best Buy Downingtown, we specialize in helping you find the best technology to fit the way you live. All support is all deferred to HP, Sony, Dell, et al. Lastly, Microsoft will not even talk to you should have a problem with Windows (their software). Macs only come with one version of Mac OS.

Macs come with none of this.įourth, if the user wants to upgrade your Windows PC to the next version of Windows, there triple-digit cost involved. They subsidize the cost of the PC with advertising dollars to preinstall or preload other companies' products as well. Third, when you open a new PC, there's a ton of advertising stickers on the computer, and flyers in the box (notably, HP is guilty of this) for various vendors. If you have a Macbook Air, you get a factory flash drive that includes the OS. When you buy a Mac, you open the box, and right there are two DVDs-OS and Applications. If the user wants pre-mastered recovery discs, they have to pay upwards of $20 to the company they bought the computer from. Second, the user has to make their own recovery discs! Let me say this again: The user has to make their own recovery discs! This has been going on since '06 as Microsoft will charge the OEM less $$$ if they do not include original discs.

Macs do not require antivirus or anti-malware but software is available on the open market. Microsoft finally released their own freebie Antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials) but only after charging customers for the priviledge as Microsoft OneCare a few years prior. When you buy a new PC, the first thing the OEM does is load you up with upgrade-ware and a copy of Norton with a 30 day trial. Microsoft has done nothing but abuse its customers over the last decade.įor example, the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) I get that people like their PCs or dislike Macs but cannot understand loving Microsoft or Windows for that matter. I've yet to understand is why PC people seem to think saving $$$ up-front translates into saving any money at all.

A third party MagSafe charger from ebay worked for a day, but after trying to install macos to another drive unsuccessfully, I turned it off, and the charger stopped working after that. I boot from an external macOS hard drive.
