Been given the opportunity to use a MacBook for a project here at work. I'm trying to get what all the fuss is about. This thing is awkward, less intuitive, and just plain weird. I'm sure if I used this exclusively for a period, I'd get to the point where I was about equally proficient as I am on a PC, but no way this hunk of junk could ever been seen as better in my eyes. What am I missing?

Yes, but how do you look using it? Do you feel superior?

iPads and iTunes... that's all Apple has going for it anymore. The PC is king in the computer market, and that's not changing. Originally Posted by DJ Golf

Apple's share of users is growing pretty rapidly....PC may always be number one, but that's because the available PC market is generally 500 or more to 1 at any given time (hundreds of PCs and Windows laptops to choose from with only 1 macbook to choose from) Originally Posted by Hokie CPA

Apple will always have a strong footing in certain career fields. I have a 27" iMac and love it. For someone who's job is spreadsheest and e-mails, a PC is just fine. Originally Posted by Hokie CPA

Switched my home computer to a Mac last summer. I wouldn't say it sucks, but it ain't no holy grail either. Originally Posted by JoesterVT
