[QUOTE="CaryAppleService, post: 1859920, member: 405310"] I switched to Mac when windows vista came out, I bought a brand new windows vista laptop because I needed a better laptop than the one I had for my job, and that stupid laptop ended up being 100 times worse than my old one. it would constantly crash in the middle of doing anything besides typing a simple 2 sentence email. I was in the Starbucks one night trying to do some work and the stupid brand new windows laptop crashed like 10 times in a row, I started swearing at it, and a friend of mine was also there using a MacBook Pro he just bought, and said to me if you are willing to try a new way of using a computer I have a laptop I will give you in my car, I just bought this one and I was going to try to sell my old MacBook, but if your willing to learn how to use a much better, but different computer I will give it to you. I told him at this point I am willing to try anything. he went to his car and brought in the MacBook, it had the office programs on it I needed for the job, so I started using it. it is a 2008 black MacBook. it was a little difficult at first to figure out, but it actually worked and did not crash one time. I am still using that computer today which I just recently found a way to get macOS Catalina to run on it, and it actually runs Catalina quite well for a very much so unsupported computer, the only thing is the trackpad works as a mouse, it does not do all the gestures it would do if it was a supported machine,and it will not sleep, I have to shut it down instead. those two little issues are nothing. I am so glad he gave me this MacBook, and since then I have switched completely to apple, I have had multiple iPhones, now using an iPhone XR product red my boyfriend bought me last year for Christmas, I have an older iPad Pro, I think it is the first gen pro model and an Apple Watch series one. I will never use windows or android again, apple does everything I need it to do and it just works. it will probably take you a couple weeks to get used to it, and once you do you will never want to use windows again ever.
