MacBook! Again!

Well it arrived, and I didn’t have to pay any duty! So I looked into how Apple did this… Turns out they ship to their warehouse in Ontario, repackage and ship again to the consumer. Clever…

Anyways, really, I am never using a Windows machine again if I have the choice. For work, we have no choice. But I can’t see any reason anybody would actually use Windows machines in their spare time. They are great for learning all the shitty things about personal computing, which is good if you’re in the business of fixing peoples shitty Windows computers. Microsoft really has created a million jobs in that respect. They even enabled countless other businesses, like antivirus and malware protection.

To those that say Macs can’t game, well I’ve been playing Call of Duty 2 and 4, Battlefield 2142, The Sims 2 and some others on my Mac, in OSX. I also installed Vista on my Mac. Vista runs awesome on a Mac. Why can’t Dell or HP make a machine that can run Vista?

Even the graphics are amazing. The screen is sweet, the colors rock. Looking at my Dells is embarrassing now.

MS Office 2008 is available for Mac if you’re too stoned to use Pages – which is by the way, fucking fabulous. I’ve never seen a more professional or easy to use word processing program.

Price. People say Macs are expensive. I went to Dell and priced out a system with the same numbers. Also, since it’s Windows you need all the Antivirus and security software you can find. Don’t forget a disaster recovery program. And what do you find? A Dell is more expensive than a MacBook pro.  And it includes Windows. The only way I use Windows is if I’m getting paid to do it.

I’ll post pictures soon.
