Why Mac for Designer?

Why Design Firms using Mac?

All the major illustration and layout packages were made first for the Mac, and stayed that way for many years until Windows was finally able to run any of them. Those commercials you saw for Windows PC on TV all those years with the dazzling graphics were all produced on Macs, because, contrary to the implied advertising claims, Windows just wasn't able to do any of those things.

Always Outperforming

The Mac outperforms, consistently, and in all real-world applications despite lower processor clock speeds. It has proved time and again that the processor speeds do not really matter when it comes to bringing home the bacon. A Mac is capable of running more heavy applications at the same time—and it does it faster than ordinary PC. This, if nothing else, is the one big reason why professionals, especially designers, love the Mac. They worship it. True colour reproduction is another factor that adds to the cult worship. What they see on the screen is what they get in real life. It is hard not to get affected by the Mac unblemished performance.

Better Graphics

Apple often put in high end graphic cards in Mac. The way Macs are programed, these graphic programs run easier and quicker on a Mac. They also made a lot of Mac specific things to help designers. Especially for Creative People.

Less Crashes

Mac run in a way that keep them from running into errors easier than PC. This means when you save to the hard drive you will not lose your data more often.

Bright Screen

Apple pulls thought with an often brighter built in Mac screen. Again LED display will produce more clarity than PC. Which is helps to create high quality designs.

Compatible

Most designers now are versed and use both Macs. Macs are great and powerful. Lucky, the shortcuts for Mac and Windows programs are dam close to each other making it easier to use.

Elegant Look

Apple made the GUI. A well-designed, neat, and easy graphical user interface makes all the difference between instant liking and disliking. An iMac is easy it has won awards for best design and the designers have kept the utilitarian aspect in mind. You won’t get lost in there trying to figure out what you were doing in the first place. Chances are, you won’t be put off by the new iMac. One wonders what the purpose of computing is if it is not keeping it easy and simple, Intuitive, Aesthetic, Open Source Friendly and Work much more efficient yet elegant.

It's Virusproof

A Mac is comparatively more secure it has limited vulnerability to viruses as compared to Windows. Mac users have been protected from most of the chaos wreaked by virulent viruses worldwide. The main reason is that there are not many viruses, worms or Trojans around that target the Macintosh OS. The OS is very secure, as in, it is not lucrative enough for hackers to make viruses for the Mac.

It's Very Portable

Macs portability is much higher then PC, which require both a tower and a monitor. Macs always weighted less then PC and always preformed.

Good Capable

All Macs are compatible with other Macs with the same similar OS.

@Aravindajith Lol!

@hari, haha it's you, HARIABINASH!

Foremost thing of MAC is, it gives lot of personalization with respect to your official or personal work. Pools of application are there to enhance your productivity.

Best for Designers. However very useful for project managers as well. And icing on cake if you have iPhone/iPad, as the synchronization feature is very well balanced,

I would say this article is completely outdated and baseless in the current scenario of both OSes.

Let me clarify that today both the OSes are equally exceptional and they got their own Pros and Cons.
