What was the best Mac computer ever made?

When it comes to the Apple brand, you will find a group of intensely loyal fans. The reason for such loyalty is because of the intuitively easy way that Macs work. When people buy electronics they simply want them to work without have to learn a new language or read an instruction manual as thick as a bible. Because Mac fans are so loyal they tend to have upgraded from the previous generation of Mac to the current one when they decide they need a new computer. So what was the best Mac computer ever made?

How to Choose?
Of course the current technology is better than previous generations and the technology continues to improve over the years, but that isn’t the only way to judge the best Mac ever built. We should look at the total computer market at the time for comparison when trying to determine the best Mac ever.

The Here and Now
If we look at the computer market now its clear that Mac hardware is generally superior to anything in the PC market, but at the operating system level Mac barely retains an advantage. For all the faults of Windows Vista, Windows 7 has come to market and is nearly on par with OSX. Some would even say that Windows 7 is better than OSX. Of all the current Macs on the market, the MacBook Air and the iPad stand out as true innovations that are far ahead of the nearest competitors in terms of hardware and design.

Looking Back…
Although Mac enthusiast will most likely look at the past few generations when trying to decide on the best Mac computer ever made, we should take a look into the past for some truly interesting Macs. Technically the NeXT Computer isn’t a Mac, but it was built by Steve Jobs when he left Apple in 1985. The NeXT computer was a massive flop because it was priced too high for the market and there was no software on the market to support it, even though it was the most powerful computer of it’s time and it was used at CERN to create the world wide web. The Apple Lisa was another massive flop that is on this list because, the only mistake Apple made was again in pricing the computer to high for the market. The Lisa was ahead of its time even if it was overpriced.

Mac’s need anti-virus software now more than ever

One of the deciding factors to purchase a Mac over a Windows-based PC has been viruses. Traditionally, Macs have had the reputation of being immune to viruses that have always plagued computers using the Windows operating system. While in years past that may have been the case, the truth now shows Macs have become more susceptible of being infiltrated by virus, back-door programs, trojan horses and other types of malware.

The increased popularity of Macs, with more purchased every year and brought online, has prompted authors of malicious software to begin to specifically target the Mac OS X operating system. Although it is still quite difficult to find programs targeting the Mac directly, more third-party and website based malicious programs have emerged that affect the Mac. Regardless, it is safe to assume those programs will continue to become more prevalent as Mac’s popularity continues to soar. Prevention is key now before Macs begin to face similar problems the Windows-based computers have now.
But an anti-virus program on a Mac may not only help prevent an eminent direct attack. It can also give the Mac user better peace of mind when interacting via electronic means with those on Windows-based platforms. Those Windows machines may or may not be adequately protected from the myriad of viruses and malware that can attach to documents and email messages. Those in turn could work their way into a Mac system that is not equipped with anti-virus software via email or networking.
By having an anti-virus program installed, Mac users can also benefit from a “cleaner” running machine. Most anti-virus programs for the Mac can also detect possible scams and malware that could be attempting to enter the system. Although these aren’t as traumatic to the operating system as a virus, they can bring plenty of frustration to the user with recurring pop-up advertisements and rerouteing while internet surfing. But perhaps most importantly, preventing such programs also results in better security of the machine and the user. These programs often can transmit password, credit card and other personal and financial information input on the Mac without the users knowledge.
Do you need anti-virus software on a Mac? The answer used to be no. But the popularity of Macs brings added authorship of potential viruses for the system. Interaction with unprotected Windows machines further increases the risk. Every Mac should now be running an anti-virus software program.
