-TAKE A BITE OF THE APPLE -

-http://www.apple.com-

As I approach the website I can see it has a clean, neat appearance with a clear grey uncluttered heading of the Apple options. Placed across the middle of the page are three stunning, minimalist in design, aesthetically pleasing, white iMacs displaying a black Apple logo to the bottom of the monitor. With the words running above the iMacs of; 'More power. Thinly disguised'. This is an extremely thin operating system with running speeds up to 3.06GHz.

Beneath the selection bar are featured the iPhone Software Roadmap - The New MacBook Pro - A new gig for iPod Shuffle and American Idol on iTunes. The site has a very simple yet effective minimal layout and I was impressed with its clean lines. On the top of the page is a grey bar which runs across next to the search bar and the first thing you come across is the 'Store'. Each section when clicked on opens up to an extensive selection inside.-

-STORE-

Store has absolutely everything Apple for sale here. From the iPhone to the amazing Mac Pro, 'The fastest, most powerful Mac. Ever'. The store is packed full of MacBook, MacBook Air, iPod Nano. iPod Shuffle, iPod touch and iMacs, then down to the simple iTunes gift card. There is a huge selection of software and accessories also. It is extremely well displayed in sections upon a crisp white background. To purchase from the store you are asked to create an online account by first entering your email address. I already have an iTunes account and you are able to sign in with this. Payment is by the usual Visa/MasterCard (etc) method. Also here, is a section explaining their policy on refunds.

I had a lot of fun looking around this section as I have an iMac, as well as other Apple items. I much prefer the Mac OS (operating system) to Windows. Though I think since the advent of windows Vista, the PC is much improved as to its ease of use and streamlining of application to the user. There is a lot of specialist information on all the apple Mac items, which would be very useful to a prospective buyer wishing to know more before purchasing.

-MAC-

The next section is Mac; which is another very nicely designed page. To the top you have an impressive running display of iMacs, MacBook Air and notebooks looking very powerful all in a row and dazzling with their clean cut lines and their high design features. Also software packages, Quick Time, Mac OSX plus much more. Beneath this are the words 'Why your next PC should be a Mac'. 'iMac
