... And that was with me so!
The design of the device has so pulled me out of the synagogue, I saw me led me apart afflict even the technical aspects, pricing and the operating system Mac OS X.
A confrontation is necessary, among other reasons, because the discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of the systems on Microsoft level the one hand, and Macintosh is rarely performed objectively on the other side.
Now I can convince me that Apple at least a good technical base provides hardware and also the system as a direct offshoot of Unix safe and will be stable.
The pricing of the hardware and software of Apple - systems should be considered for closer examination, in my view as appropriate and not as overpriced as it is often claimed. However, this may be due to the recent price development, which shows tended to be downwards.
The first contact with my new acquisition was etwartungsgemäß emotional! Even the packaging has an eye fixed and the "stripping" of the MacBook Pro should be celebrated.
Personally, I feel through the cool aluminum - very appealing design of the notebook, the device just feels "right" to.
Despite the standard screen size of 15.4 "notebook is quite easy and also very handy because crunches through the flat dimensions of the housing at the same time high stability through the aluminum used or creaks nothing -. Completely solid keeps you a good piece in his hands.
The first startup after installing the battery is almost done amazingly fast and very spectacular. Specifying a few personal data ranges, and away you go.
It is an eye - opener in the sense of: "How That was already everything"
You can work with the system in fact after a few minutes. Even the first foray into the Internet (WLAN 54g) was configured in seconds, does the offered system update in less than 3 minutes. If I then on my elapsed MS - systems thinking, enable only, then update with several Neutstarts the system ... What a blessing!
Now ... 3 days thereafter.
All other MS - systems are sold (desktop and notebook), the girlfriend has to change to an Apple - announced system (probably more because of the beauty - smiling).
My smile has not yet cleared. satisfaction with the device is still very high. A comparison with MS - systems more difficult and not very suitable, since all different philosophies pursued.
The operating system and the extensions shipped are in my opinion very good, stable and appropriate in the basic equipment already for most tasks. Who likes can even the small home office - package from Apple (iWork) to buy and is therefore well-equipped for everyday life.
The Multimedia - fun factor is well marked by the iLife - components that are the field of music, photo and video covering more than adequate and, in my personal observation out much more intuitive to use than the corresponding counterparts from the Windows world.
Other such Frontrow there at MS only in special versions (Media Center). Nachzukaufen One, in my opinion, unnecessary hardship of the user, because is not that, and the freeware variations are not really mature.
My conclusion in any case:
Those looking for a good-looking, easy-functioning computer system that essentially should be productive just who may opt for a computer from Apple.
It has very little to do with the maintenance of the system and can fully concentrate on the job or the pleasure that comes here by no means neglected.
Those who like to solve problems and joy has tinker on who may continue with a MS - dealing system. I liked the very long time taken joy.
Have a good time in the decision!
