To take the Apple or not? That is the question! November 26
For the past 2-3 weeks I have had the pleasure to work with a PowerBook G4 that was given to the contact at the client I’m working for. In fact, right now I’m writing this post on the laptop! I’m debating if I should go with a PC or Mac when I buy a new laptop for me. I was originally looking at buying an Alienware laptop because of the power and what I would be doing with the laptop. Now, I’m REALLY hooked on Macs! I’m loving the current OS, the way the system preforms and the fact that the OS is based on Unix. Since I have started using the system, I have not had a single crash or frozen screen.
I took a look at apple.com and found the new version of the Mac laptop, the MacBook and MacBook Pro. If I were to get a Mac system, I’d go with a MacBook Pro 17″ system. The power behind the system before I even customize it is just amazing! The 17″ model has this as the default system setup:
* 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1680 x 1050 pixels
* 2GB memory
* 160GB hard drive
* 8x double-layer SuperDrive
* ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics with 256MB SDRAM
WOW, what a setup! I’ll just have to wait and see how I feel a little later on after working with this PowerBook G4 for a while more. I’ve been able to get just about every piece of software that I need in a Mac version and have found new software out there that is for the Mac to do the same thing that software on the PC does. I’ll post an update later on as to what step I take …
