A Few Reasons Why Mac is good for your Small Business

If we take a close look at the statistics, we will notice that the majority of small businesses rely on Windows. Most of them are not thinking about making a change, but there is a relatively large group of business owners who have started switching to Mac and it seems that there is more than one good reason for this. In this article, we will highlight a few advantages of using Mac for your small business.

To start with, Mac is safe from viruses. Theoretically speaking, the OS created by Apple is equally secure as the Windows machine. But, the fact that there are more Windows users and that many of them use outdated software versions, most hackers are focused on Windows machines. If you ask a few ordinary PC users about the performance of their computer, most of them will complain that their computer is slower than before. This is something that you can’t expect from a Mac computer because they are “resistant” to viruses, malware, Trojans etc. Obviously, using a computer that runs smoothly is one of the most important things for any business. It’s good to point out that there are viruses in Mac computers too, but they are usually not that dangerous and they occur rarely after explicit permission from the user. Even if you are not installing new programs on your computer, it is very likely that your business computer will eventually get infected by the virus through emails or browsing websites. Mac computers have better protection and they should keep you safe.

If you ask most IT experts, they will confirm that Mac computers are much better than expensive Windows machines in terms of quality. Windows computers are cheaper because computer makers (hundreds of them) are using components from different manufacturers and they are usually trying to incorporate the cheapest components. So, in case they have a good RAM, they usually try to use the cheap hard disk drive. On the other hand, Mac computers are created by Apple and they include the same components made by Apple experts. These components are carefully tested before they are used in any Mac device.

We should not forget the importance of cloud computing for small businesses and this is exactly where Mac can help you. Namely, Apple provides iCloud for every Mac and iOS device. So, if you are looking for increased portability and better security, you can rely on Mac. You can sync several devices, so whenever you write down something or upload some documents, these devices will get access to the filed right away.

There are many business owners who avoid Mac computers because they are more expensive and they don’t know whether they will like the features of this computer. Even though it is true that Mac computers are expensive, it is also true that they have great resale value too. This is something that we cannot say for Windows machines who tend to lose their resale value quickly.
