The apps include a test drive and another to visually signal any nearby Mac Specialist. AppleInsider also says the company will debut “Talk Mac,” a free service to allow non-Mac customers to schedule an appointment with a Mac Specialist to discuss their computer needs, and how a Mac might fill their needs.
