The time is ripe for a Mac!

My review refers generally to the Macbook Pro Retina 13.3 ", which I ordered in the configuration with 16GB space and 256GB SSD at compustore case equal to the first. Tip: If your budget allows, take the same 516GB SSD and up . definitely 16GB RAM Although I'm not a power user, I am often pleased with the more RAM, for example, when using as some photo apps And:. Mostly you do always more than you think at the beginning.

So, now to my actual review, I would like to add some information about my person, so that you can compare. Since 1995, I had Windows computer, 2003, I bought a Powermac, I resold two years later and me a Sony Vaio notebook purchased. This I had until 2014 in use until I gave my godson and I only the Surface Pro 3 bought, but this umtauschte and finally summed up the courage to buy me the Macbook and so fulfilled my long-cherished dream.

What prompted me to switch:

1 Mainly the operating system.
Windows 8 is for me the worst since Windows Vista, at any point there are breaks in style, the operation is not intuitive and well thought out. The Mac OS is simply the most powerful OS that I have ever had and for both beginners and more demanding optimal.Das Mac OS is ultimately based on UNIX, there are no blue screen, and in all that time I had a single crash. It is very easy to manage users to set permissions to back up data (Time Machine works with any USB disk perfectly), manage files, etc. It all works well without always iCloud, which I have not installed on my Mac. Without problems you can install Windows using Boot Camp, even Linux would be possible. Anyone who thinks it could be only install programs from the App Store, another think coming. It's all a question of the system setting (point security) and there are just like Windows for a lot of free programs on the Internet for download. Super also deeply integrated PDF and printer support.
Who likes to go a little deeper, which will learn to appreciate the terminal and X11 / Xcode.
Do not worry: In the beginning, you think sometimes, how does that work as one would expect a certain operation of Windows. There is everything for an appropriate alternative, and after a short time you wonder why you have not always done so.
Finally ih'm glad for a business day Windows computer at home my Mac turn

2 Design and manufacturing
Yes, I am drawn to the design, I admit. The build quality is just great, the keyboard (naturally lit) alongside some Thinkpad models the best that I've ever had on a notebook. I am happy just to turn on the Macbook in the dark and something to do with it.
But of course design is always somewhat subjective, so I digress at this point from discontinued.

Conclusion:
The time has never been riper than now to switch to a Mac.
As more and more web-based solutions are platform and to use independent software anyway is a good idea, there's nothing you can not do with a Mac. So let's tell you around the corner no nonsense from the Media Markt retailers. It is advisable to order a book to where the main Umsteiger advice contained would.

Have fun with your Mac!
