I can’t really believe that this still comes up, but I’ve been talking with a friend who is in the market for a new computer, and though there are several people close to them who insist they would love a Mac, is still convinced that he can get “the same” computer for less. Folks… this is just not true. Perhaps a little less… but usually the opposite is true. I wrote about this here TWO YEARS ago, and Apple has gotten heaps better in those two years.

I was trying to figure out why I can’t just let it go sometimes. I think it’s just my personality. I need stuff to be true. (Though, not in everything… but I guess the stuff I care about.) If someone just doesn’t want a Mac, that’s OK (too bad, but OK) 😉 But if they say they don’t want it because they can get the same computer for less… that’s just not true. I think it all works out pretty evenly in the end, except with a Mac you get no viruses, spyware, everything just works “out of the box” (all included in the computer) and you get the Mac OS, which is fantastic. (Not to mention their superior customer support.)

I’m really not trying to be a salesman… and I TOTALLY understand the need to spend less on a lesser product simply due to lack of funds. TOTALLY. But I just wanted to say again, Macs are not ridiculously overpriced. You get what you pay for, and we think, with Mac, you get even more than what you pay for.

If you’re at all interested, or even if you think you know that you’re NOT interested… check out this section of Apple’s website. apple.com/getamac. Not only are all the cute/funny ads there, read the 10 reasons (and more) “Why You’ll Love a Mac.” Great list. Explained well.

Everyone gets to choose and use what they’d like, but we, the Campbells, can’t say enough how great Macs are, and how much you’ll love ’em if you try ’em.
