How is the Macintosh?

How is the macintosh ?
I’v been through this question so many times, whenever i sit with a win user in front of my computer !
So really, why to go macintosh and throw-out all windows crap away ?
you may think that my opinion is biased, which is true:), but why i became biased for mac?
let me start with the consumer Loyalty Ladder for a company:
The Stranger -> The Suspect -> The Prospect -> The Customer -> The Client -> The Advocate (here I am)
again, why i become an advocate consumer for Apple ?
My first laptop was a Sony VAIO, a nice experience, and I was very close to repeat it again but sadly, Sony headed for the cheap quality manufacturing parts and labor. So i decided to take a Toshiba Qosmio. It was fine, as a multimedia heavy weight laptop, but still i didn’t reached the top satisfactory level with laptops. And again, it is the time to change my laptop for the third time.!
Before this, I (وهقت) my close friend Zaid(since his scales to evaluate things are almost as mine.), and convinced him to by a macbook pro, LoL,
After that, a bought my MAC and started my addicting journey.
BREAK: The fastest Windows Vista notebook 2007, guess what ?
WHAT NEXT?
The Apple Macbook can run windows and os x operating systems at the same time, so i decided to have both until i get used to the osx. It was only one month the time that windows spent in my machine !!! i removed it with a big smile on my face 
..
again, why!!!
this time i’ll answer 
enshallah ,,
1- while working on the osx, the laptop battery can go up to 4 hrs!! really
2- there is always a better replacement for the windows applications (except arabic office, you may face some styling problems with files created with arabic windows office edition).
3- since i bought my laptop until now, i formated it only once and that was because traveling abroad issue (i have some cracked apps lol 
) on the other hand, when i was windows, i used to format my laptop every month !! because of slowness!!
4- the support for apple is amazing, as an example, every time my white keyboard has yellow stains on it, they change it for free (three times) and once, they changed the bottom case because it had small crack i didn’t even noticed it !!!
5- you feel the elegance while using the osx, i forgot the word ANTI VIROS !!
6- some great features that makes you wonder, how it can be that fast even with this animations and graphics transitions! 4ex: when i point the mouse pointer to the left top corner, it brings all my open boxes in a smooth way
7- updates are always available, and easy to download. not as the junk windows updates center !!
8- only few of the programs need to be installed, many of them you just open them as you open a picture !
9-10-11,,, etc ,,, you will see in the coming topics
so, I conclude my topic with two says:
WHEN YOU GO MAC, YOU WILL NEVER GO BACK
AN APPLE A DAY, KEEPS WINDOWS AWAY

rawan,
First of all, i wold like to thank your sweet passing,
when you decide to change your laptop,, get a MAC , or ya weeeelk mneee :@ lol
regarding blackberry, i guess many own it and don’t even know how to use it,
last days, i was thanking to get one, since i’m going abroad this summer to study and i heard about stc blackburry package and how it is useful for international use, one of the features is to have a 250 mb/month !!
which is amazing !!
i asked blackburry users about it, and everyone said something different! some said that 250 include browsing internet and email attachments, and some said it is only for checking your email! some said in ksa browsing is included, elsewhere it is only for email and if you brows the internet they will charge you more !
even stc employees have no information
so i was amazed,!!
BB is a great device, keeps you connected with your email and other bb users everywhere for a relatively low charge.
in conclusion,,,,,
iPhone oo bas :>
thanks and hope to see you again,

how something looks,, walla it is an important reason,
regarding the bb and the iphone,,
the bb is special because of its service, and this service only suitable for those who travel a lot,
but the iPhone, it is really a revelation in the cellphones world, the OS is amazing ,,
unlimited apps !! and they are soo coooool ,,
just have a look here http://appulo.us/appdb/
and its touch screen ,, one of its kind, not as the other palm devices,,
you need to have it for a whole day and try it to see how it is different,,
surfing the internet with the iPhone ,, bdoon mobaal’3ah,, as good as the laptop
walla in my opinion, the best choice is to have an iPhone, with a 120 mb/m jawalnet package from stc, this will make you not to carry your laptop with you every where ,,
