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.
