MacBook Pro - Most Notable Notebook of 2007

Monday, September 17th, 2007 | Mac Resources, Opinion | 2 Comments

PC World names MacBook Pro as one of the notable notebooks of 2007. They say,

“The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year is a Mac.”

MacBook Pro appears among other notebooks selected by PC World for notable features. The main thing that amazed the folks at PC World is the speed of this polished piece of machinery.

“The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year–or for that matter, ever–is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware.”

What is more amazing is that this designation comes from a Windows centric web site. You would expect such praise from the Mac faithful, but not from those who mainly focus on Windows. In most cases die hard Windows users look for every opportunity to find reasons to put down Macs. However, PC World provides a positive review of Apple’s MacBook Pro. Apple must be doing something right, that even mainly Windows centered web sites recognize the power and beauty of a Mac.

Does Quality Hold Its Appeal Longer?

Monday, September 3rd, 2007 | Mac Resources, Opinion | No Comments

In a few days ago, I made an observation about quality products. It appears to me that quality products hold their appeal and style for a much longer time. I was thinking about cars that are considered to be of high quality, such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. These cars look appealing and stylish even after several years of use. A 5 year-old Mercedes or BMW is still attractive and convey a sense of style and class. I then transfered this line of thinking to computers. Apple is known for high quality computer products that are stylish and classy. And this is true about Apple computers not only when they are sitting on a shelf in the Apple Store, but after several years of use. When you see a PowerBook or an iMac from a couple of years ago, they still look attractive. Yes, you can tell they are not new, but they still retain that “high quality” presence about them.

May be I’m totally off. But I think there is something about quality that endures. What do you think? Do Macs retain their appeal longer than their counterpart Windows computers? Are Windows computers unappealing to begin with?
