MacBook and Me

MacBook

I’ve decided that this summer it is time for a new computer. I have had the trusty desktop for over 3 years now and the lappy is going on two. But this new computer is going to be different. It is more than likely going to be a Mac. I know some of you know of my distaste with Apple, but things can change, and they have made some major ones.

First of all, with the new Intel Macs, they are leaving some of their hardware operations to other companies, making them less proprietary. Also, with Bootcamp, you can put WinXP on the Intel Macs. Dual Booting XP and OS X is the dream of many, and I am getting there. I am a Microsoft Fan Boy at heart, but The Macs are pretty awesome. OS X is also really nice for Multimedia stuff, which I plan on getting into on top of web design. I want to get a MacBook, but there is one serious problem.

In all the reviews I’ve read, over heating is a serious problem. I have a laptop now that over heats sometimes with a cooling pad under it, and this laptop is not suppose to have an over heating problem. That does not bode well with me. I run a lot on my computers and expect a lot of them. Hopefully by the time I save enough money, the problem will be solved, because well, I REALLY want one. Later!

    2 Months with an iPhone

    I wrote perhaps my most popular blog post ever just over 2 months ago. I talked about how I bought, used, and subsequently didn’t like the iPhone 6. I would be sticking with Android…or so I thought. Shortly after that post got popular, I was compelled to take another look at iOS.

  3. I went to the Mac Store with my friend and saw the new iMacs/macbooks, they’re pretty cool. The sales associate spoke of the imac as though it were a god. No viruses, no spyware, bla bla bla. I knew he had to be lying. My friend would have bought the darn thing (including MS Office for mac, mouse, etc) for $1500 (that she didn’t have) if I hadn’t warned her that it’s brand new and there could be problems with it. It would be really nice for Multimedia jobs though, you are definitely correct. I still would have a hard time adjusting to a MAC with the Apple and “swirly” symbol button instead of CTRL and ALT (although the iMac does have those keys). Good luck with your web development job. We can swap advice 😛
