What is a great winning argument to convince my co-worker to buy a Mac Mini?
The #1 reason to buy a Mac is because they look nice. The #1 reason to buy a Mac is because you want to spend more time using your computer than you do maintaining it. The #2 reason to buy a Mac is because they look nice much better than PCs. The Mac Mini your friend gets will be faster than a cheap Dell, capable of doing all of the same things, in a simpler, more intuitive way, and more besides. If I were buying a Mini, and I didn’t want to use it as a media centre (ie. plugged into the TV in my lounge), I’d find a retailer selling the PowerPC versions on the cheap in the next few weeks, now that the Intel ones are out. I was a PC power user, until my Dad gave me his old Mac. I forced myself to try it, for one month. I turned off my PC, and tried to do everything that I already knew how to do on the Mac. Once I’d figured out how to, I realised that it was only my ignorance and stubbornness that had been holding me back, and I’ve been much better off since.
