Dear all,

I’m an experience notebook user for the past 15 years and recently bought macbook white with intel 2.26 CPU snow leopard. What I would like to comment is that I really love my macbook more than all PCs and PCs notebook/netbook in the whole world. Since then I stop using PC or PC notebook/netbook. Suggestion: Apple shall produce a more highest quality computers with affordable price.

regards

Egads John, just can’t stop with the autoexec bat stuff can you. Notice Vista and W7 look more and more like the Mac OS? I wonder why?

If you really did use your computer for other an word docs, you would notice the greatly reduced eye strain, rsi and reduced stress from using a Mac. The graphics isn’t just beauty its easier on the eyes and the brain.

Keep using junk, I have a chevrolet junker you can have, just come pick it up.

I totally disagree. I tried the Mac and never felt comfortable in it. Sure, I could do everything, but it took me so much longer to figure out how to do things I was already familiar with on the PC. Maybe it’s a different feeling for those that just write word documents, send emails and browse the web.

I also couldn’t care less about the way the Mac looks. Although, I’m also not the person that wants to drive the nice car so that everyone sees me driving a nice car. I’m guessing that’s you.

Hillel, this sums up my second Mac experience two years ago. I say second, because, like most other people my age who went to college in the US in the 1980s, we bought an Apple computer (an Apple II in my case) from the college bookstore at a discount at graduation. I loved that Apple II, but eventually switched because the Dell PC was such a better computer in the early 90s. Why do I love the Mac the second time around so much more than I ever enjoyed the Dell? NO VIRUSES. That trumps it all for me. No more screaming because the system is down or crying because some worm crashed my hard drive…and let me also say that I hope I haven’t now cursed myself. But aside from all the beauty in the user experience, don’t forget the user experience is also tied to the beauty of the lack of viruses. Let’s hope that continues. Great post.

I have both the new macbook and the thinkpad t400. In terms of pure performance t400 flat out wins, with 6hr battery life and same weight as the macbook while retaining bigger/higher resolution 14in screen. Oh yeah, it has more ports and memory card reader as well.

The part where the macbook trumps t400 would be the operating system. There’s no getting around it. The only reason to use vista is to play games. I need to jump through all sorts of crazy hoops when getting mathematical simulation programs/toolsets to work. None of the popular scripting languages come with the OS, and there’s no such thing as apt-get which drives me crazy.

Microsoft went out of their way to turn vista into something that’s usable only when you don’t do anything with it… It’s like they are pouring millions of dollars into driving their brand into the ground.

Transitioning over to “full time” Mac user will be the next step, or steps. I’m sure you’ll find equivilent apps to do on OS X what you currently do on Windows. Put your list of Windows needs out there … I’m sure many will pitch in with Mac equivilents.

I switched to Mac in 2003 (from linux from Windows) and don’t need any Windows software, ever. If I did, then I’d be running Windows as my primary OS because I am a pragmatist computer user not constrained by Mac, GNU/Linux, nor Windows. Choose the right tool for the right job. Increasingly, for me, the right tool is the iPhone … cloud computing only strengthens device independence (instead it locks you in to a choice of service provider, perhaps?)

I know, I was just kidding. Though technically, that was a similie not an analogy . I run XP through Boot Camp myself. The only way to really get my Harmony One Universal Remote to work as the Mac software that comes with it is terrible.

Eli, thanks for that, nice analogy, although I totally disagree. I love my Mac, although I am sure you already know that, and I run Parallels. There is no debating that there are many tools out there that are not YET Mac compatible. I for one need many things for my work that I cannot dl on a Mac. Anyway, if I may ask, do we know each other? Whats your last name?
