So today I got my new computer. Its an Apple MacBook. I've never owned an Apple computer so its been a big change. I've wanted one for a while and finally took the plunge.
Its been kind of humbling setting it up. I'm used to knowing how to do everything on a computer so I'm constantly surprised. Most things are at least similar but every now and I then its just confusing.
( just now I had figure out how to get the spell check in Firefox to come up because I misspelled similar. I kept right clicking but its not actually a right click. Doh, there's only one button! - Its Control-Click by the way)
I love the portability. I set up a new wireless network and its been wonderful sitting outside or on the couch. I'm not sure how I'm going to set up the network. For now all my music and videos are on the old desktop and I can access it over the network. But I don't think I'm going to be able to maintain that.
The laptop is fast (2.0 ghz dual core processor) and I've been impressed so far. I haven't run into any crashes or problems.
Oh and I love the remote control and Front Row. It turns the laptop into a media station to play music, dvds, video or display photo slide shows. The way its done is very slick.
I'm really happy with the purchase. Its the best Christmas present I've ever gotten myself.
