Why Top Bloggers Use Macs

If any major technological advancements were being coded and processed on a Mac's OS, then hackers would be writing attacks on the system. Mac has been spared due to lack of capacity and users. If there was a computer beauty contest, then Mac would win most certainly. Beauty only gets you so far though.

It can't be any more difficult to learn to use a Mac than it is to learn new versions of Windows. I am seriously considering moving to Mac.

Is it not inconvenient to use Mac? A lot of applications and software are only compatible with windows. But I guess if you only use it for blogging then that's fine.

Mac is better in the long run, I recommend. You have less viruses and bugs attacking the system.

Still I'm not finding easy to use mac after an year.

Macs are not hard to use, but my Windows laptop is also good

Interesting to know bloggers use Mac, i think maybethe features and looks are attractive

I want to get a Macbook Air, but if I remember correctly, you said that the new one wasn't worth buying?

wonder how long b4 the hackers start focusing on mac attacks

mac doesnt annoy with error messages like windows and never asks shall I debug this problem.

People; the PC vs MAC is over!!! Mac won 'cause they can take every os there is. With spaces we have one desktop for each os. Simple!!!

lol nice video.....you going to ces 2009? I'm about to check it out this year

I love macs :D

hi john.

imah fan boy of both pc & mac. the pc in my home, the mac in my office, both used for blogging. i got the best of both worlds.

Right, gotta love Windows and all the quirks that go with it.

HAH! I just bought a macbook pro. Blogging is SO much more convenient now. I love it. I am truly a convert now. FANBOIZ FOR LIFE!!!

mac mac mac. what is the magic of it?

I have used PC's for years and all sorts of Mac's daily for the last two years. I still like the PC the best. I used software and really like freeware. There is just isn't that many choices for a Mac. Of course, then everyone tells me I can use Parallels. I did and it sucks. Still a PC user.

John, I have switched a few years ago from a decade lineage of AMD PC's with Windows, and was convinced by my Now cousin in law to get into Apple.

I went to a user group, and saw how similar Apple was to Windows on the user interface end, and also saw how more efficient and stress free an Apple was. Three days later, my brother/business partner found me a returned mini 1.2Ghz for a steal, and called me. I told him to not come back without the mini.

A few years later, I have given that old mini to my mother, who just threw out her piece of **** Dell computer. I currently have an iBook G4 and an iMac 24" with 4gb of ram! Blows the doors off of any windows machine I have ever had.

The workflow is easier, and with an additional monitor creating a dual monitor workstation, I have absolutely increased productivity.

John very interesting post btw i love this video :D . The best part is "you can send error report or not to send, but is there a difference?" .

Best Regards

I think you have a point here. I only gone full time when i got my mac.

Maybe I deserve a late pass on this, but I had never seen that video you posted until now and I thought that it was hilarious. Thanks for posting this, and I'll definitely be sending the video link to my friends.

About the topic though, I would really like to know WHY the top bloggers use Mac's? Is it the ease-of-use of the interface, ease of creating graphics, and/or all around computing? I'm thinking about switching over, but I would really like to figure out where that extra money is going.

I am still getting used to working on a Mac :)

Very nice Video! Thats why I use Ubuntu. :-)

I will stay with my PC ;)

I thought it was because you didn't have to pay the "Apple Premium" like the rest of us since you get them free!

I love Mac, but hardware to hardware it is much more expensive. For example if your budget is low like $500 you can get a decent PC laptop, but SOL when it comes to Mac.

I like the Indian tech support from Connecticut. I agree with the idea of Mac's and top bloggers, but it may be a status thing. PC laptops low-end are what $300-500 and refurbished MacBooks are $1,0000. Having a Mac Pro or Air is saying look, I have a couple G's to carry around.

Then again, these are our tools of the trade, at some point we all should want to upgrade to the best. Is Mac really the best? The only case for Windows is cost and compatibility, Mac has performance. Is it that much of a difference to justify a price difference over $500-$1500?

LOLLERSKATES@!!!

LMAO, cool video

Is there a Mac equivalent of Live Writer?

I had this conversation with a friend of mine this past weekend. I've been on PC's forever, and am in the market to buy a new laptop this holiday season. Some friends(Mac Users) have told me to take the jump and get a Mac, while my PC people are all pro the regular brands(HP/Dell/etc)

Decisions, Decisions...

Ubuntu here. Open source all the way.

It's cos bloggers are generally techy retards that are just interested in publishing text ;) If there was an even simpler to use kiddy computer most top bloggers would probably use that instead.

Macs are the next stage in home computer evolution, you can already see the numbers of people that are using them increase at a rapid rate. The one good thing is that you buy the OS and all the hardware that had been developed by one company, that way you get no incompatibilities like you do with a Windows PC that could have been cobbled together with parts from as many as 30 different sources.

I hope to be able to earn enough from blogging to eventually buy myself a MacBook.

HAH! This is hilarious. I do remember when you first mentioned that you would format your Mac, but it's cool that you didn't. I know they're extremely fast, but their price tag is high.

I switched to a Mac because it's the only way to run Final Cut Pro but now I would never switch back. Windows is just so bulky and unwieldy. I even get annoyed now at my Winmobile based phone with it's windows "quirks".

I am PC Fanboy for Life, not that i think Mac are not worth it switching, but just seperate from XP :-)

stop making me laugh!...how does john chow come up with this stuff?...crazy

well the reason they use Mac is due to the fact that is suppose to be better than any other kind of computer, but its your choice there.

I can justify bloggers using Mac but one one phrase "Macs just work". I am thinking of switching for a long time, but since the offline blogging software choice is very limited on Mac, I hesitate.
