Maybe you are still a PC user and most likely you are using the Windows operating system on it. But do you know why to buy a Mac? There are at least 5 reasons given by Apple itself. Now the company has updated its website with new models of computers with M1 chips. Of course, the main role here is played by the 24" iMac, which officially went on sale recently.

If you are already the owner of a new Mac, or are waiting for your own, or even just in the decision stage, Apple offers you a microsite on its website called Why Mac. You can easily find out here the advantages of the computer and the macOS operating system, which may convince you of a future change. All existing owners will then confirm that they have chosen well.

Every beginning is easy 

No, you don't need to set up your Mac in any complicated way. All you have to do is sign in to your iCloud account and the Mac will automatically take the necessary information from your iPhone or iPad. The data transfer wizard helps you transfer settings, user accounts and other content in a flash. In addition, you will find a comprehensive set of applications for creation and work installed on every Mac.

Mac can handle more 

This is certainly the most controversial statement, but there's no need to argue that a Mac is powerful, versatile and packed with everything you need to do even better. It seamlessly pulls together applications from Microsoft 365 to Adobe Creative Cloud. At the same time, it does not matter what field you are in and what you are currently doing. But if you would like it for games, the problem here will be mainly with their availability.

The M1 chip brings tremendous performance, unique technologies and revolutionary energy efficiency. So you can do everything even faster on Mac - from everyday activities to visionary work in demanding professional applications. A powerful, elegant and intuitive operating system designed specifically for this chip will help you with this. And the fact that Apple does everything under one roof is simply an indisputable advantage.

You immediately know where to go 

Apple states under this point: "Mac helps you quickly find what you need, keep an overview of everything and deal with anything. Its simple, uncluttered design just makes sense – especially if you already have an iPhone.” Apple develops this claim more in the following point, but here it clearly emphasizes that the Mac really has its merits if you already own other devices that fit into its ecosystem. Specifically, he emphasizes system functions such as Spotlight (search), Mission Control (showing all open windows next to each other) and the Control or Notification Center. And so all the necessary system controls are easily accessible exactly where you expect them. And he's right.

Works great with all Apple devices 

Continuity is a great asset to the entire ecosystem, which Google is still trying to copy more or less successfully with Android. For example, you can read a message on your Apple Watch and reply to it on your Mac. Prepare a presentation on your Mac and then review it on your iPhone along the way. Unlock Mac with Apple Watch. Or send entire photo albums to friends across the room.

This is ensured by the Handoff and AirDrop functions. A universal mailbox that synchronizes across devices is also useful. What you copy on the iPhone, you paste on the Mac and vice versa. Apple also mentions Sidecar here, when you turn the iPad into a second monitor extending or mirroring the Mac desktop, on which you can then work using the Apple Pencil.

Your Mac, your privacy 

The M1 chip and macOS Big Sur make Mac the most secure personal computer ever. Mac already includes built-in protection against malicious software and viruses. FileVault even encrypts the entire system to make security even more thorough. On top of that, Touch ID is available on select computers to keep strangers from accessing your data, Safari provides password watchers to alert you of leaked ones, and it also has intelligent tracking prevention that prevents advertisers from tracking you between different sites. There is Apple Pay, iCloud Keychain, secure communication of iMessages and FaceTime calls, etc.

Even more reasons to love your Mac 

Mac adapts to how you work. It will read a long document aloud, let you search for a file using just your voice, etc. Screen Time lets you know what kids are doing on their devices and lets you set limits on what they can access — and for how long. You can also create an Apple ID for everyone in your family, then share access to Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud, storage, photo albums, and other services and content with them.

Why Mac 11

Even though Apple then refers to the M1 chip, in the selection of devices listed by it, there are also those with the one from Intel. Specifically, it is a 16" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac. However, both of these machines should receive a significant rejuvenation this year. It can be assumed that the iMac will be based on the design of the new 24", but with regard to the 16" MacBook Pro, there is already a lot of speculation about what it could look like and whether Apple will bring a completely new design, expansion of ports, etc. with it.
