Customer Review

I have long hesitated and fought with me if I really want to spend so much money for a notebook. Ultimately, I have to say I regret the purchase and the higher price is not even a minute. I've been using computers since the days of the Commodore C64 and Amstrad CPC 128. Over the years, I've pretty much gone through all the developments and Windows operating systems and found the shortcomings of Windows as a normal state. Man it was otherwise accustomed to the absence at that time of serious alternatives. Apple I had then still not perceived as an alternative.

After I came through the iPhone 3GS with the Apple world in contact and had to realize that this was technically and qualitatively other smartphones years ahead, I also began to occupy myself a little with Apple and OS X. So when time came to buy a new laptop, I then weighed pros and cons of MacBooks long and frankly, I came to realize, if you want a similar powerful Windows notebook one is also very fast in the price range of MacBooks.

Especially since the MacBooks actually already represents a unique device class. It meets all the requirements of Ultrabooks, with the performance of high-end notebooks. In Windows ultrabooks but you have less power in buying companies (since no quad-core processors, at least until recently) or at full industry leading portable computers high weight and limited mobility.

However, the final decisive gave his Windows 8 Microsoft. In the early years, DOS, and later Windows 3.0, Windows 3.11, Windows 95 to Windows 7, somehow me but then come to terms with the current operating system and you had 'set up'. In the circle of friends I have countless PCs and laptops installed with the different Windows versions, set up and helped with problems. Somehow you always came to right. But please be nice what Microsoft was thinking with Windows 8? My suspicion is Apple Microsoft has infiltrated to drive with such a bad product, the customer to Apple ... otherwise I can hardly explain, because it really is not so cut a company in our own leg itself.

Meanwhile I use the MacBook for a few months. The conversion was not really, because OS X can be operated intuitively, as it really should be. The biggest problem constitutes actually that I had to say goodbye mentally only times of the complicated Windows world. In Windows you had to think for themselves for the lack of operating system always. I have now and laugh when I see how complicated friends, acquaintances or colleagues think use Windows.

The MacBook is still extremely fast, even though I, as have earlier been playing a lot of software for Windows and also removed again. However, Windows device was thus being felt slowly after a few months, because the registry has always eagerly collected and after a time you had to either upgrade the device slightly (more RAM usually managed something Remedy) or the computer flatten and place Windows.

Among the specifications I need not go far back here. A.) can read it at any Apple or the Internet (test results) and B.) have also been other lecture about adequate.

An absolute highlight is Apple's Time Machine. Once activated, it runs in the background and performs good and reliable his service. Meanwhile, I have also a Mac Mini that I have upgraded a few days ago with a SSD. HDD out, SSD pure, played last Time Machine backup back and everything runs smoothly. If the Mac Mini would now not much faster, you would never get the idea that there actually a serious engagement with the replacement of the HDD was made. So a smooth change I have never succeeded at Windows in more than 20 years ... here you then still had time consuming div. Things back cumbersome set up / establish so again everything went smoothly. While this does not affect the MacBook, but it's good to know that you can create everything quickly and easily back in an emergency.

Generally Apple plays in conjunction with other Apple devices only really made its strengths. The networking of the equipment is very simple and the data exchange is working properly. When I look at the reviews of iPod perused, I noticed that a lot less bad the product, but rather the software iTunes rated and one immediately recognizes the Windows users to statements such as: You can not just move the pieces of music in the Explorer on the iPod. .. It must be said that iTunes no 'Explorer-imitation' is and also not understood as such and is therefore not to operate so. Who will take a little bit busy with iTunes soon realize that it is this is a really powerful tool that you can use as a media server and control center readily, what you have to use Windows div. Programs but still does not at the performance of iTunes come close.

That sounds like now in terms of Apple MacBook and the very positive ... and that's it. I know some will think now ... 'typical Apple disciples', but until a few months ago, I had nothing to do with Apple on his hat. But if a manufacturer sell one or several products creates the really clear (positive) of the competition, then you can also put it this way.

I will not decide the future definitely only for the price, because who buys cheap, often buys two or three times or even more .. :-)
