Strange mind you since a full HD video was fine.īut it seems with Windows there is always something, even updating is a pain, Mac Os is so quick to update. Yesterday I was trying to edit a video and for some reason this machine was having problems and yet is was only an old Mpeg2 video taken from a old Video 8 camcorder. I have never had that smooth running from my PC for more than a few months, if i ever do to be honest. I friend of mine have an Imac that is 5 years old and never had a problem with it, it still works as smooth now as it did when it was new. Microsoft's store policies are far better than Apple and don't require the purchase of AppleCare.īut Macs just do work, that is the thing, you take them out of the box, turn them on, regester tham and it works. With that said, there are some sucky PC OEMs out there, even big name products that are junk.įor people that are leaning towards Mac for hardware, our team pushes them to Microsoft Surface products, because Microsoft does stand behind them, all you have to do is take it to a Microsoft Store if you have any software or hardware issue and they will fix or replace it. They are pretty, but that doesn't make the slower parts or lower quality features magically better. In actual 'construction' and 'technology/components' used in Apple hardware, it is very mid-grade compared to the PC industry. Remember that it is human nature to 'like/love' what we purchase, and there are a lot of Mac users that simply overlook things, that less commited buyers take issue with. (Or take it to a Microsoft Store, even if you didn't buy it there, Microsoft helps fix Windows Issues on any brand PC, usually for free.)Īs for 'elegance of Apple' in hardware, there are a lot of quirks and issues with Macs, from a fairly bad keyboard to even production quality issues. Essentially it is like Restore, except you don't have to reinstall anything.

This does an inplace non-destructive upgrade. (Remember that Facebook, like many others, created App versions of their websites because iPhone and iPads originally couldn't use all the features of the Website due to limitations in their browser.)Īs for 'stability' issues since the Fall update, do yourself a favor and download the ISO, and run Setup. Strange that one of your complaints is the lack of features in Apps like Facebook, etc - yet Macs aren't going to have better options.Īlso remember, some Apps, like Facebook, favor the browser, and unless you are using the Apps for notifications or other OS integration features, you get a faster and more complete experience by using the Website and not a watered down 'mobile' App.
