- 2010 17" MBP |core i7 2.66|4gb ddr3|500gb 7200rpm|snow leopard|
Ok so I've touched a few macs as I've said before, but pretty much have never done anything on them. So here's my first impressions:
My system:
17" Macbook Pro, Core i7 processor, 4gigs DDR3, 500gb 7200rpm, apple care(not that that affects my impression).
*IVE ONLY BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS*
The GUI is nice and simple(stunning really) but the way Apple packages things for you is what I like. You know, on windows you gotta do 7-8 things just to uninstall a program. On a mac, you just drop in the trash and its gone.
I love the dock, end of story. The dock is cool lol thats my uneducated answer to that one!
Everything I've plugged into it so far is extremely simple plug and play(wired keyboard, wired mouse, usb headphones, flash drives, portable harddrives) no waiting to install drivers or any of that BS! Super awesome!!!
It's taking a little getting used to the command button but I do see how its pretty much the same as the alt and windows button combined. One thing that I do not like is I dont have the "snap feature" like windows 7 has. I'm sorry but that feature is just 250% badass for me and I really miss it
I'm really wanting to do a tri-boot setup soon but as I've read before I don't want to install Windows or Linux yet because I don't want to use them as a crutch; I'm forcing myself to get used to it.
Other than that, I'm open to any comments/questions/suggestions. Thanks!
