Macintosh is a personal computer platform that has varied over the years. They were first released by Apple in 1984 after the failure of the Apple Lisa.

Some people prefer to use these machines to make Youtube Poops instead of Windows PCs. Macs with Intel processors (made since 2006) also have the ability to run Windows via a "Boot Camp" partition or by virtualization.
