jivy26 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have always owned a windows pc or laptop for the last 25 years. We have had issues with Windows laptops over the years failing and after we've owned a higher end Asus for a year and it is starting to have issues that a fresh reinstall didn't fix I started looking into Macs. I was a bit apprehensive because the few times I had messed with them I didn't know what the hell I was doing and I always felt they were over hyped. I just purchased a 2012 MBA and I am very impressed at the build quality, ease of use(once you get the hang of gestures and keys), and the way everything meshes. Overall I am very happy to be an owner of one and doubt that I will go back to Windows. It costs a bit more for mac's but retains value and hopefully lasts longer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Unfortunately Macs are more expensive to repair and some models are quite difficult to repair at all. How long a PC would serve, greatly depend on the usage scenario (i.e. how the dive is used and cared after). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivy26 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 I use my laptops for school, browsing and streaming to roku. With Windows Laptops I had went through top brands, but being a laptop and not a PC it is much more tedious to repair them. Which the MBA I am hoping to get a few years out of it. I have no problem paying more for a product that will last me. Hopefully this is the case with my new MBA and I get a good 3 years out of it. Either way, no product is without it's flaws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You took the two quizzes and registered on a forum about installing and running OS X on PCs to tell us that you've bought a Mac? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
