So, it's been over a month now since I purchased my MacBook on one heck of an impulse. After, buying it I must saw that I had a fair bit of buyers remorse. After all, I just had built a new desktop quad core PC a few months prior and I had a perfectly workable laptop provided by my employer. Did I really need another machine? Probably not. Fortunately, the remorse was very short lived. I have never worked with a better piece of computing machinery. Period.
Lets start with the battery life. It is incredible. Most nights, it can handle a full load of development, surfing, emailing, and gaming without being plugged in for the whole evening. Spending several hours out on the deck is finally an option. I can finally enjoy my backyard investment to it's fullest.
I assumed that I would spend most of my time using windows. After all, windows is what I know best. but that also hasn't been the case. With the exception of actual development work, I do everything in Mac OS X. When I code, VMWare fusion provides a seamless way for me to run Visual Studio without having to reboot into windows native.
I never have to reboot. Sleep mode just works. It's a great piece of equipment.
