As a PC user many would think I would say, “buy a PC”! It’s difficult for me to recommend a Mac or a PC. I love my laptop but I really want a Macbook Pro. Either product works for real estate. Don’t buy a PC or Mac just because someone said you should. My recommendation is that you think about what’s best for you. When considering either of the products answer these questions:
- What are you currently using? If you already understand how to work a PC then selecting a PC or laptop might be the best answer. And the same goes for a Macbook. If you are already working on a Mac then upgrading your Mac might be the best option.
- Are you willing to learn new technology? If the answer is “NO”. Stick with the technology you are currently using and maybe consider an upgrade. If the answer is “YES” then you must be ready to learn the new technology.
- Are you motivated by price? If not, then get what you want. If you are on a budget then do your homework. There are many different price points when investing in a new PC/Laptop. You can also consider refurbished or used if a new PC or Mac Book isn’t in your budget.
- Are you concerned about safety? If so, then make sure you update your virus software is current on your PC. If you purchase a Mac Book safety is built into the product. Apple’s OS X Yosemite is built to protect your laptop.
Whether you select a Mac or PC understand that technology is changing at a rapid pace and you will have to become a lifelong learner. “The illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” Alvin Toffler
