    Untitled 2 years ago

    After going through 4 PC laptops over the years, I got myself a MacBook. I couldn’t be any happier with it. Definitely worth making the switch.



    I bought a 17" Powerbook, and my life got easier, more productive, and more fun. 4 years ago

    Sure, it’s true that you won’t be able to play the latest 3D shooter on your new Mac – but unless you’re a super hard core temple of twitch gamer – who cares?

    In terms of getting things done – programming, writing, being creative, and communicating, there is no better platform than the Mac in my humble opinion.

    I now use my Powerbook as my only desktop computer (I still run a Linux server at home). It goes with me to work and back home at the end of the day.

    The myriad productivity enhancements I’ve made since I bought my Mac would take too much space here, but I’ll list a few:

    Quicksilver – This tool has become indispensable to me. Launch any application with a few keystrokes. I open my Powerbook up in the morning, hit ‘M’ and Quicksilver pops up the Mail icon. I hit enter, and mail launches. App launching is merely the tip of the iceberg with this tool though – you can manipulate your data in all sorts of useful and productive ways with just a few keystrokes.

    Automator/Scripting – I’m a release engineer, and I have whole build processes automated down to a few keystrokes or mouse clicks using apple’s new Automator tool. It lets you take any arbitrarily complex series of actions and make them into a script.

    Painless networking – My mac goes from the wired network at the office to the wireless net at Starbucks to my wireless or wired LAN at home flawlessly. One click and POOF, you’re done. No interminable fiddling with network control panels and twitchy network card drivers.

    UNIX underneath – While this may not seem like such a huge win to the casual user, it really is. I reboot my Macintosh maybe twice a month, and only then because I’m constantly programming, twiddling and playing with new and potentially destabilizing utilities and software. Were I to have stability as a priority it’d be much less than that. I just open my Powerbook, do my work, then when I’m done close it and walk away. No muss, no fuss, and no painfully long waits while the machine reboots.

    I adore my Mac, and can’t recommend them strenuously enough. Windows does have a place in the world, it’s just a very small place, and if I have my way will be getting ever smaller as time goes by :)
