Mac

Mac is our passion!

Mac Virtual Assistant

Mac OS X. We love it! We were one of the first Mac Business Manager companies and are passionate about Mac productivity as well as all things Apple!

One of the services we offer is helping clients make the switch to Mac OS X. You will love your new Mac! You will find so many productivity shortcuts. It is very intuitive as far as user interfaces. Lots of easy drag and drop functions. Almost effortless upkeep. Gorgeous and streamlined looks. Macs, although not virus and hacker proof, are much more resistant to viral invaders than their PC counterparts. It just takes a bit of upkeep and maintenance which we can assist you with.

It is not necessary to run two machines. You can get emulation software which will enable you to use a Windows OS on your Mac. You will also need a copy of Vista, XP, or whatever Windows Operating System you prefer. Many programs are cross platform, and many have Mac/PC versions, so you can take your pick if you run an emulator. These emulation programs are typically $80.00 – $100.00 USD.

Macs started out years ago as being mostly purchased by graphic designers and artists, but these days, it seems like most students and business people have Macs and most of my own colleagues are making the switch too.

Compared to PCs,  Macs run smoother, and are the sure winner on stability, security, ease of use, great software, and superior graphic programs. The video/audio on Macs is better, and graphics cards on the Mac are superior.

My suggestion for entrepreneurs is to get a laptop and/ or iPad for portability (if you envision needing access to your files while on the road, away from the office, etc). There are many broadband data cards that work with Macs if a Wifi connection is not available during your travels (but cellular is). If you require a bigger monitor while in the office, you can purchase an external monitor and hook it up to your laptop.

Buy the most processor speed and memory (RAM) that your budget allows. This rings true for both PCs and Macs, actually.

You can still join your Windows networks and share files with everyone. As far as wireless goes, todays Macs come Wifi ready so available networks will show up!

When it comes time to move your files from your PC to your new Mac, the easiest thing to do is go to your local Apple Genius Bar or authorized Apple Service Center. The technicians there can effortlessly take care of the transition for you. After their work is done, enjoy your new Mac! Our company can deliver Mac based online business management and can be there with you every step of the way.

This article is a favorite of mine, it details many different ways in which a Mac can improve your life. It is a passion such as this that fuels my great interest in helping Mac enrepreneurs.
