It's one thing having a beautiful computer, it's also nice to know it has the latest state-of-the-art technology, but what about software?

As the saying goes "A computer is only as good as the software it runs". In the case of a new Apple computer this takes the form of OS X Lion. According to Apple, Mac OS X is the most advanced operating system in the world! We wouldn't dispute that for a minute!

Information about the Latest Apple Mac Computers

(Top of Page)

In 2006, Apple started using Intel processors in all of their Apple Mac computers. At the time many people thought that Apple had made a big mistake. Some thought it could even be the beginning of the end for Apple!

But history has shown that it was a brilliant move. Why? Well, one of the advantages of the switch was that it opened the doors for Microsoft Windows to run on your Mac. Pre-Intel Apple fans probably didn't see the benefit of this, but Steve Jobs knew that the PowerPC was struggling.

This single, but important change, meant that a Windows user could finally switch to a Mac without worrying about losing their favourite Windows only applications, all at once!

The quality of Apple designs have also lifted the Mac into a different league compared to the humble PC. Designer looks and state-of-the-art technology have made the Apple Mac a very sought-after commodity to an ever increasing user base. One of the best looking Macs, the iMac, is shown below.

The iMac is the best of the Apple Mac desktop computers. It is an All-in-One marvel, combining elegant looks, a stunning display and powerful graphics, while utilising the very latest Intel 2nd generation multi-core processors, and like all Macs it includes the Mac OS X operating system.

So we will keep you up to date with new releases, and provide you with information, tutorials and reviews covering the current range of Apple Mac computers.

It is an exciting time for Mac accessories. With all Macs either getting, or highly likely to get, the new Intel Thunderbolt connector. We are expecting a huge increase in accessories using this fast technology.

We love playing with new accessories and then writing up our experiences to share with you. This could be in the form of an overview, a full review, or even a downloadable tutorial.

One of our favourite Apple accessories is the Time Capsule. Backing up any computer is a chore and it's very easy to just not bother! But now you have no excuse - it really is easy!

The Time Capsule, shown above, is available in 2TB or 3TB versions and makes the perfect back-up solution. It includes four USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and wireless networking so you can easily back-up all of your Apple Mac computers using the Time Machine software which is integrated into Mac OS X.

It is not just Apple who make Mac accessories, you will find hundreds of manufacturers making high quality accessories ranging from printers and external hard disks, to cases and cables.

The latest Mac Security News and Information

As a Mac user you are probably aware that your Mac is far less susceptible to viruses than the humble Windows PC. But this should not be taken to mean that you can sit back and ignore the security of your Mac!

Security encompasses many different aspects, from the location of your Apple Mac, through to how you connect to the Internet. Do you use wireless networking (Wi-Fi)? If you do is it secure? We take a look at these issues.

A Virus may not be a threat to your Mac, but a Trojan certainly is! Do you understand what this means and how to prevent it? Do you run Anti-virus software on your Mac? The terminology can be confusing an we are often drowned with conflicting views and opinions.

Our Mac security section will try to cover the main issues. We will take a look at the best Mac Anti-virus software and see just how effective it is. We will discuss your Macs security settings and how to secure your Internet from prying eyes.

If you are currently a Windows user, but are seriously considering switching to one of the Mac computers. Then we say go for it. You won't regret it - honest!

But your not going to listen to us, are you?! Because you have questions and concerns, all probably valid, that need answering. So we have written three articles just for this purpose, all accessible at the top of the navigation menu under 'My First Mac'.

The first article in this section takes a look at the question 'Mac vs PC'. We are not interested in Microsoft battering or having heated arguments! What we are interested in is a serious discussion of the issues!

What do we look at? Well, we simply work our way through the steps that might be encountered when switching to Mac for the first time. Handling PC files, Windows applications, viruses, etc. It is a fascinating topic!

Next we take a look at 'Windows on Mac'. Yes, it is possible and sometimes necessary to run Windows! So here we take a look at the options available and provide tutorials that take you through actually setting everything up!

The last article in this section is called 'Migrate PC to Mac' which looks at the options available for moving your files from your old PC across to your new Mac, including a useful utility provided in Mac OS X that automates the whole process.

OK. I'll cheat a bit and hint at the conclusion - switching from PC to a Mac is NOT a big deal. You just need a bit of help! That's our job!!

That completes the quick overview of the website. Hopefully the site will offer something for all Apple Mac users.
