I recently got a new laptop… a macbook pro. This is my first mac. I’ve been using windows Vista since shortly after it was released and pretty much hate how unstable it is and the almost constant updates from Microsoft trying to keep it secure and running as smoothly as they can get it. My brother in law and sister and a good friend are all mac fans and have been telling me I really need a mac. They’ve used the arguments that they’re more stable, more secure, and have better graphics. I was slightly worried about being able to get used to the differences after being so used to windows based PCs over the past ten years. So I did some research on apple’s online support pages and decided it wouldn’t be all that difficult to get used to. So I ordered my new laptop. Then I worried about if the extra money I spent on it would be worth it… if I’d really be able to see enough differences. Those worries were gone the minute I unpacked the new mac and booted it up. I could virtually instantly see a difference in the graphics. And over the past four days that I’ve owned it, I’ve not ONCE had to reboot because it froze or started acting buggy. Programs are a breeze to install, finding programs I want to use is simple, and it’s not been difficult to get used to at all. I have things customized how I want them on my desktop and dock, and it was very easy to figure out how to do that. I am totally sold on mac!
I’m a mac fan!

That’s why I want a MacBook of my own too! However, I don’t have my own finances to buy one. I either have to sell my laptop to get the extra money, or wait until it stops working so I could get a MacBook. Hehehe. I will just do the latter, or wait until I graduate.
Congratulations on being a new Mac fan!
Thanks for visiting our blog. I also use mac for my no office work. All my pictures were done on Mac. They are just fantastic.
I want one! Maybe I will save up all my blogging money (almost $200.00 so far) until I have enough to get one!
Oh my.. a mac user! I really have no idea what the difference is. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mac up close. Glad you like your new computer :)
I’m not jealous at all – I’m lying! How awesome! It’s on my “i want” list. :)
That’s the best advertisement going, a satisfied customer. Actually I was going to get one for my birthday from my hubby (in July) but I have been putting it off. I have also been listening to relatives and friends who have them, who have told me often to make that changeover when I need to get a new laptop. I have been using Microsoft for about as many years as you and using Vista since it came out, and can’t say I am very impressed with Vista. However, I was also a bit timid about getting used to the Mac. My husband even mentioned it again today to ask if I was ready to buy one. I am looking forward to the day I get it now, especially after reading your post. Thanks for all this great feedback.
Oh, you’ll really enjoy it, Denise. I’ve been pleasantly surprised and just how easy it is to get used to.
I…..told…..you…..so ;-)
Wait wait wait…..the Dyson now the MacBook, is there anything else I can advise you on???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
No m’am, there isn’t. Your advice always ends up costing me money! lol
