Macs are Apple's personal computer lineup — iMac, Mac Mini, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and more. They offer great capabilities that rivals, in some cases, find hard to catch up with. Protecting your MacBook Pro with a case will only make it last longer, so make sure to buy one if you haven't yet. One of the handy features of macOS is the ability to use third-party browsers, if Safari doesn't get your work done. Here's how to download Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a Mac.
