It’s the end of the experience so I took a couple extra days to reflect on the entire experience of owning a Mac after switching over from 15 years of Windows.
I took some time to analyze the daily functionality and use of the laptop and how it changed, helped, hurt, excited or dulled my browsing, [...]

The MacBook Experience (Day 27)

Wow, has it almost been 30 days with this thing? It’s felt like its been only a few days still; the laptop feels new, the learning never stops and the thing still looks sexy.
Looks…yes, looks…let’s talk about the looks of the laptop. Besides the performance, appearance and aesthetics are crucial in buying any [...]

The MacBook Experience (Day 16)

What about the accessories…
I completely forgot about a huge part of buying any computer or any other major electronic device; the accessories that come with it, and the ones you can buy.

The MacBook Experience (Day 15)

Windows 7 runs hot on a Mac too?! I installed Windows 7 on my boot camp partition on my MacBook Pro and I was blown away when I found out that Windows runs hot on Apple products as well.  At first, I thought it was my XPS that was over reacting to the 64 bit [...]

The MacBook Experience (Day 12)

It’s been about 12-13 days since I’ve started using the Mac and I’m still incredibly impressed, pleased and happy with the experience of the MacBook and OS X.

The MacBook Experience (Day 7)

One of my biggest fears before purchasing the MacBook were the programs I could find for the notebook.  I was scared that my normal experience would be revolutionized by a new wave of programs different to what I am accustom to with Windows.  Would downloading programs from the internet become a hassle trying to find [...]

The MacBook Experience (Day 5)

I was able to spend a bunch of time browsing on my Mac this weekend, mainly looking at my fantasy football team and keeping windows open for the games in progress so it’s safe to say I was using my browser a hefty amount.
Being fairly versatile in Windows 7, I use to enjoy the feature [...]
