- Affordability
- Ease-of-use
- Intuitive operation
- Customizable
- Runs on a Mac
- Virus Free
The Mac is very easy to use and its sleek styling works particularly well with the décor of retail businesses. For some buyers, those advantages alone justify the decision to purchase a Mac. Another argument in favor of a Mac-based system is total cost of ownership. Customers comment that over the course of a few years, Macs cost less to own and operate than a comparable PC system and arguably a great deal less for many reasons:
- Macs are much less prone to viruses and other malicious attacks enabling you to concentrate on keeping your business healthy instead of fussing with an infected computer.
- The Mac OS X operating system is by far more stable and trouble-free than alternative operating systems and has powerful, built-in features that help business owners work more productively.
- Businesses that use Macs often require less professional IT assistance than businesses that use PCs, reducing their out-of-pocket consulting fees.
- Businesses generally get more years of service out of a Mac than a comparable PC.
