Some of you may or may not already know, I have switched to the “dark side” of computing. I purchased myself a black MacBook at the beginning of July and loved every minute of it. There are so many things that it does natively that windows needs smarter people to program for it. Yes I installed Windows on it because I am going to be using it for school as well and I need the application I use at school on there, but I have not used Windows on my Mac for the past 4 weeks.

Yes I know it does not have all the software out there that Windows does, and I know it does not have many games built for a Mac OS, but I am not going to be playing games on my Mac, that’s what I have my tweaked out PC for. I am loving the battery life on it as I am able to watch an entire movie (approx. 1h 45m long) with full backlight and still have another hour and a half to do what I want with it.

It’s a lot smaller then my last laptop, but I wanted that. I don’t need large screens on a laptop because they take p too much battery power and are to large to fit into my laptop backpack. I have yet to find a down side to using my Mac and I am learning more and more as I go along. Having to re-learn all the short cut keys and then some to make navigating around on it fast has been challenging, but it’s been a welcome challenge since I have learned most of the Windows short cuts.

The nice thing too is that I can still transfer files to and from my PC using either my Mac or my PC as the host. They make everything so nice an easy to find that even for the very novice at computer use in general can navigate and do some really interesting things with it.

I can’t wait till leopard come out as a few months down the road, and once I hear of a good review from everyone, including my cousin, I will be purchasing a legal copy and upgrading my OS on my MacBook.
