7 Reasons Why I Love My MacBook.

This past May, I woke up one morning and my Dell Inspiron laptop, that I had since before I began college, took a small dive off my nightstand.  Not too worried, I rolled over and went back to sleep.  I mean, my laptop had taken harder falls before, like off the top of a lofted bed, and no damage.  When I went to use my computer later that morning, I was horrified to find that my screen was completely damaged!  So, instead of spending my money on getting my old, clunky, slow computer fixed, I decided to purchase myself a MacBook, and it's the best decision I have ever made!!

7 Reasons Why I Love My MacBook.

1.  It's so pretty!  I love that it's white, and I love even more that I put a purple case on it.  Everything about this laptop is so simple looking, from the keys to the disc drive, and simple is pretty.

2.  Everything runs seamlessly.  I have yet to encounter a problem.  When I first had my Dell, the whole system crashed about a month after getting it, and I spent two miserable days on the phone with someone in another country trying to fix my computer.  All of my accessories, from my camera to my printer, are compatible with my computer.

3.  Less prone to viruses.  People say that Mac's don't get viruses, but this is a misconception.  They can get a virus, but it is way less likely.  I have yet to have a need to run any type of anti-virus software.  Tonight, my dad had me run a virus scanner on his Windows laptop (which is newer than mine) because the computer is suddenly running slow and doing a few odd things.

4.  User Friendly!  Before buying my own, my interaction with MacBooks were rare.  I've used a Windows computer since about third grade, but it did not take me any time to learn how to use my Mac!  I love the dock where all my programs are, so they are easy to find.  My desktop isn't clogged with millions of icons.  There are great tricks with the mouse pad that make using multiple screens and programs at a time a breeze!

5.  The new App store for Mac's.  The Apple Store just released their App store for Mac's, and there are so many great programs on there, and many great free ones!  I downloaded a great photo design software, Image Tricks, and I have been able to edit all my photos for this page, and I hope to keep discovering more about the program.  I also have a cute program called Swackett, which tells you the weather, and what type of clothes you should wear based on the weather that day!  

6.  Photo Booth!  You've seen the funny pictures people have taken on Facebook.  You know you love it.

7.  Battery Power.  I can charge my MacBook and not have to charge it again for a few days because the battery lasts so long!  I also just read that batteries last about five years, which is fabulous.  With my Dell, I went through two batteries and a power cord.

Although Mac's are a bit more expensive than laptops that run Windows, it is definitely worth the investment.  I know this MacBook will last a very long time, and I am grateful about that.  I really wish that I had this laptop in college, because I know I would have been super happy with it, and probably would have brought it to class.  I'm just an average computer user, so I don't do too much fancy stuff on, and I love it.  I have never loved a computer before like I love this!  This is most definitely a Love It!
