[QUOTE="brianwmay, post: 699193, member: 51013"] I agonised for about 2 minutes whether I wanted to go down the Mac route but then spent several months wondering whether it would make that much difference - all the hassle, the learning curve and so on. I've had this MacBook Pro now for 4 months. Truth to say, I love it more now than when I opened the box - the way it's packaged has to be experienced - it's a work of art - those of us who've done it KNOW. I like the machine physically, it's attractive and tactile. The screen is still outstanding, the keyboard is not the best I've used but more than up to the mark. The more I've used the software, the updates, the forums etc, the more I realise I wish I'd done this years ago. Windows XP (Pro) was for me the pinnacle of Windows, and I dearly loved the facilities developed over the last 20 years or so. I am not knocking MS and I'm truly grateful that they did what they did - it aided my productivity. In my opinion, Apple do it so much better. I get a personal buzz when I pull my laptop out and see the white Apple on the lid. Now I'm getting on for 60 years old and never expected a chunk of metal and plastic to have that effect on me. But it does, and it's enduring. So if in doubt, most of us were at one time. But, once you've done it, if my experience is anything to go by, your faith in switching will be richly rewarded. I know, I should get out more ;) [/QUOTE]
