I Got a Mac!

July 13th, 2008

I’ve owned a MacBook for about 1 month now, and so far things have been good. It took a little bit for me to adjust to the change, but everything is working out good, so far. I’ve always wanted a Mac to play with at home. Im a windows type of guy, and I never understood why Mac users were so…loyal to their computers.

After about a month of using it, I now totally understand why people love Macs so much; it is an extremely easy system to use. It wasn’t easy for me to learn at first, but after a few days, I pretty much got it down.

Likes

Here are some of the features of my macbook that I really like:

  • The ability to easily install programs by simply dragging the installation file to the applications folder.
  • The ability to scroll down a page by using two-fingers on the touchpad
  • The charger with the magnetic end. If you trip on the cord, it simply comes off. I think that’s a really neat feature, especially since

Dislikes

  • Right clicking is hard! Seriously, if you don’t have a usb mouse, it’s a pain in the ass to right click. You have to hold on to the touchpad and then click.
  • This isn’t really a problem with macs, but there’s something wrong with my macbook’s keyboard. Sometimes I have to press a key multiple times in order for it to register. It’s really annoying. I’ll take it back to the Mac store this weekend.

I’m pretty sure that as I continue to this this new toy of mine, I will find more likes and dislikes to this list.

Overall, I think that the Mac OS X operating system is a pretty cool system and I will continue to use it. I won’t do a 100% conversion, I’m still a windows user!
