As a long time Mac-enthusiast website, we have seen a lot of trends come and go. Certainly, as Macs tend to be somewhat "viral" in terms of their use, while, at least in my opinion, an "Opinion Leader"-platform, there are always fresh things to talk about. While Macs are certainly solid, they are prone to issues, and are about as far from flawless as you can get. So having seen a ton of Mac news since the dawn of time, there's something about PC World's "How To Switch From A Mac To A PC" that actually gets the interest a rollin' But why would one switch from the classic Mac to Windows? The PCWorld writer has some interesting thoughts:

This is also not idle talk. The MacBook has been kind of a redheaded stepchild for Apple, despite the fact that along with the original iPod and iPhone, it was supposed to be the result of the "gateway" that was their portable devices. Certainly, we've addressed some of the main problems with the company's virtual abandonment of the MacBook Pro before, but it's interesting to see this article. What is not particularly interesting is that Seamus Bellamy, the writer of the article who calls himself a "20 year Mac veteran", has not actually got into the guts of moving systems. Published February 14 of 2017, the article currently only has a part 1. Naturally, as it seems the opposite of a billion articles that talk about switching from Windows to Mac, we are very intrigued. Needless to say, we will be watching to see what PCWorld, and Bellamy do over the next months. This should provide rare insight on a machine that has developed more than a couple of difficulties:
Do dongles suck? Why yes they do. Do Beats Headphones also suck pretty bad considering their insane price? Yes. They do. So this series bears watching. Although it's unlikely to convince a "Zealot" to move on from the platform, it will be a nice guide for pretty much everyone.
