Firstly, I don't know if this belongs here nor if anyone cares but I'm gonna post anyway.
I got my mac yesterday morning (now saturday night), and i have to admit i feel proud. I think i have made the right decision.
I went out tonight and most of my friends were intrigued. There were still these two Windows fan boys who HATE mac because apparently it's "too easy" (for the life me I can't work out what's wrong with that :s)
Anyway, i have a few first impressions:
1. Looks, Beautiful!!! If you could marry a computer, surely it would be a mac, and they aren't like a typical lady always asking if you are sure you want to do that. The glossy screen is beautiful and the sound isn't to shabby for built ins.
2. Setup, EASY!!! Very simple, connect to the internet, type in few things and off you go. In fact got all the apps i researched running n minutes (installing stuff is quick and easy). In fact within 3 hours i had boot camp up and running (only for 1 windows game which will hopefully be on mac one day).
3. Navigating, surprisingly EASY!!! I thought this was gonna take a while to get used to. BUT IT'S EASY!!! I LOVE the stacks. They work great and everything is to reach. Really enjoy it. Also Dashboard is excellent for those things that are for quick reference i.e. calculator, weather, SPORTS LADDERS!. And expose makes things easy.
4. Finally speed, ULTRA FAST!!! There is no lag, no freeze, no beach ball, no nothing. Just fast eye pleasing speeds. 15 widgets, 8 apps and still no lag what so ever. I might even forget what the word "lag" means.
In conclusion my verdict of my new (and first) Mac is: IT JUST WORKS!!!
99/100 (-1 for iChat not supporting MSN, but I'm sure that will happen one day)
Lastly, Anybody thinking of switching... DO IT!! JUST DO IT!! You will NEVER regret it.
P.S. If you are interested in my specs, they are:
17" MBP, 2.93 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, and all the other standard features.
P.S.S. I went for iWork instead of office for mac, and it works great as well. Its so much easier and doesn't have all the stuff i don't need, while forgetting all the small features i could use.
Thanks for reading, if you bothered.
