OK let's blog about my current squeeze..

As a Windows users for more than 10 yrs, I realised that Windows is so self-limiting and mundane and bored. It is true when one try his/her hands on Mac OS, there's no turning back. After more than a month of using a MacBook, I'm simply overjoyed because everything is kept simple and fast (incredibly faster than Windows). It never fails to amaze me with all the built in applications. Even the boyfriend is getting a Mac soon and kept wanting to use mine! Ha. So here's a few good things and some con of cuz as far as I'm concern..

The good:

-MacOS is essentially resistant to almost all internet spyware and viruses cuz they all attack most Windows OS. My thumbdrive is loaded with Trojans due to the STDs among the lab computers, and so far my laptop is not affected at all. Woohoo.

-iPhoto is brilliant, less than 10 seconds to transfer from an SD card and arrange all my photos according to event, place and face recognition. Yes, face recognition as in when I tag one photo with "YinFong" or"Jimmy"; every other photos with their face will be recognised and grouped in a folder under their respective name. How brilliant. And I can directly upload photos to Facebook using this application.

-Garage band, compose music directly on the laptop. Piano, keyboard, guitar, bass, drum, etc..

-Control iTunes and iMovie directly from the keyboard

-Light sensitive keyboards, which automatically illuminates in the dark

-Get Tube! from youtube =)

-MacOffice is much easier to manipulate and compatible to open in any form of Windows OS.

-The 2,3,4 fingers thingy! I love it, is so simple to scroll, expose, enlarge anything...

-100 secs to startup and 10 sec to shutdown

-3 sec to load the web browser safari

-No, and I mean NO crashes unlike Windows "End programme now" which totally pissed me off

-6 hrs of battery life!

-HD LCD screen, omg I love my screen.

-Aluminium bodied, nice to touch.

The bad:

-Cannot transfer songs to other mp3 brands except iPod. Which means, I die die have to get an iPod to replace my old Creative Zen. =(

-Need to download some converter to convert wma files to mp3 for iTunes

-Umm what else? I don't understand why some of my friends hated Mac at the first place...at least I still couldn't find the bad out of it. Yet.

The ugly:

-Price may be a concern, but I got a good deal from school with free MacOffice, Adobe CS4 and 3 yr apple protection plan worth $300+, free upgrade to MacOS X Snow Leopard roar..am waiting for my CD!

Personally, I think I'm paying for something I feel is worth the price. Well, I haven't tried flipping my Mac over to a Windows as I do not have a pirated cd on it, but come to think about it, why would I need Windows now??? Two words, Mac rocks.

I got a free T-shirt from MacNUS that says: "Once A PC" on the front and "Now A MAC" on the back. Haha damn cute.

Love,

Regina
