25. Blazing Fast Performance

Tech specs don't matter much to me. Instead, I want to know what a computer can help me do, and how quickly, easily, and efficiently I'll be able to do it.

So rather than focus on the buzz-worthy nature of the Intel processors (now found in every Mac), I think in terms of what these powerful new chips make possible:

• Programs install and start faster than ever.

• Videos and DVDs don't take as long to encode and create.

• Effects in Keynote presentations are even more dazzling.

• I can zip through my massive photo collection in seconds.

Ready for blazing-fast performance? Want to spend more time getting things done and less time waiting around? Switch to a Mac.
