You Can’t Go Wrong

People around the office often ask me to recommend a computer system they can purchase. Usually my answer is “Get a Dell, you can’t go wrong.” But lately I’ve been getting feedback from many people saying they had bad experience with Dell. They report problems with their order, problems with their ever-changing promotions and about parts that are on backorder. Another problem is calling for technical support and the call be routed out of the country. It’s often hard to understand the person and it gets very frustrating for people trying to get help.

Dell and other computer companies are also becoming very annoying with the “crapware” they are pre-loading on their systems. They put limited version of antivirus software, picture editing programs and other crap that bogs down your system and uses up hard drive space. When I get a new system I wipe it clean and reload just the OS minus all the crap.

With a Macintosh you get none of this. You start up the computer with everything ready to go with no cleanup necessary. The customer service and technical support are wonderful and you can even go to a Apple store to get one of their “geniuses” to assist you. Of course this service does cost extra, just like the rest of the computer manufacturers, but it is well worth the money.

So with that, I’ve decided to only recommend a Macintosh system to anyone asking my opinion for a home computer. Sure they are priced higher but you really get an excellent value for your money. Now I’ll say “get a Mac, you can’t go wrong.”
