Take a question often asked by tech-clueless family and friends: Should I switch to a Mac? If you ask someone who knows a lot about computers she’ll start by asking you additional questions, like “What do you plan to use the computer for?” or “How much money are you willing to spend?”. Then she’ll give you an informed suggestion.

If you don’t have an expert handy you can try posting the question on a Q&A site, but you’ll often end up with arguments, even flamewars!, about the merits of PCs vs Macs. Or you can read lots of reviews and informational sites about Macs and PC – effectively become an expert yourself – but who has the time?”

Don’t be fooled by the first paragraph. The asking of questions is simply to establish trust & collaborative buy-in. The computer is our most advanced & variable tool – nobody truly knows what they’ll achieve with it and if ‘it’ isn’t easy (i.e. bundled in with the machine) they will never know.

If you ask someone with an incumbent knowledge of computers they’ll give you a response base solely on incumbency. Reviewing sites doesn’t give you knowledge only assumed bias. Use the products for yourself or assess people who actually deliver what you’re after, having shown you how they achieve their goals, and if you’re comfortable with the same investment of time – there’s your answer.
