Redirected from: Mac enthusiast

Definition: Macophile


A person who is extremely enthusiastic about the Mac and everything Apple, a company that has become an American icon. At a $3 trillion dollar valuation, Apple is the most valued company in the world. Very opinionated, Macophiles often show disdain for Windows PCs. They had good reason to feel that way in the early days of personal computing because the first versions of Windows were very crude. However, that is no longer the case.

If Apple and Microsoft Shared the Good Stuff
The macOS and Windows operating systems each have positive and negative user interface features. For the benefit of the user community, it would be extraordinary if Apple and Microsoft would get together and adopt the positive points of both platforms. As a result, very few people would change operating systems, and everybody would benefit. Don't hold your breath! See Mac computer, macOS, Windows and user interface.
