{"product_id":"2940158734229","title":"Why Mac-OS? Why A Mac?","description":"A lot of talk these days is about the Macintosh and Apple. With their mobile devises like iPhone and iPad, Apple became the most valuable brand in the world.\u003cbr\u003eAnd not without a cause: they are just brillant. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut is this also true for their much older product: the Macintosh Computer, around since 1984.  Compared to the mainstream Apple used to be a different world, and many elaborate computer users think about – and doubt – whether to switch to the Mac\u003cbr\u003eor not. Wasn't the Mac just for the creative people, for the people who weren't really power users? Is a Mac even a real computer? Or is it just some nice point-and-click thing, that lacks depth and complexity?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is where this book comes in: it tells you in a different way than all the others what the Mac is and what it will do for you. It tells you from a historical perspective, shows its development and what each step brought for the user. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will tell you exactly what advantages a Mac has compared to the other competitors, like Windows or Linux. And it will tell you which of the many myths and rumors around it are true – and which aren't.","brand":"THINK-eBooks.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47104183337200,"sku":"2940158734229","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158734229_p0.jpg?v=1764117816","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158734229","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
