Greetings all. I was a Mac user a few year ago, but switched to windows due to compability issues with work, school, etc... Anyway, 2 months ago my Dell laptop died! I went to the store and got an Acer C7 chromebook, installed Ubuntu on it, and was good to go for a while. After a few weeks I determined that while the Acer was a nice machine, it simply was not powerful enough to do what i needed it to do. A few weeks ago, I brought home a nicely specced HP Windows 8 laptop. I really liked that computer, but Windows, holy @#$%!!!!! What a nightmare that was. Went to the store 3 days ago and bought a brand spanking new 13" Macbook Pro. I was trying to avoid Mac as I had broken my Mac addiction years ago.
Anyway, I AM BACK!!!
It feels so good to be back on a Mac, maybe because of the Mac itself, or maybe just because after weeks of dealing with the Windows 8 nightmare, anything would feel good. I guess time will tell.
I now need some advice. I am not a gamer, but I do enjoy a game to kill time now and then. I had a few games lying around, tried them in my Macbook, but they are all PowerPc games (like I said I was gone from Mac for a while). Can anyone recommend some decent games. I was thinking of Civ V, something like that, i am just a time killer when it comes to gaming.
I ordered 16gb ram, a data-doubler, and I have an SSD that I had installed in my chrome book, this should be enough to run Photoshop smoothly correct? Is the datadoubler a difficult install?
Thanks all for your help, looking forward to enjoying my new mac!
