Yep, that’s me – flying at speed away from the world of Windows, and heading for Planet Apple. And yet an exciting development occurred yesterday – the MacBook Pro arrived!
(In case you wonder what on earth I am talking about, click here, here, and here).
Yes, the MacBook Pro 15”, fully-loaded with a STACK of Apple goodness – including big hard disk and lotsa memory – we like! I’ve got to say, it really is a thing of beauty – I don’t know another consumer electronics company that does industrial design like Apple does (interestingly, I also saw a new HP Laptop yesterday, and it clearly looks like they’ve stepped up their game in hardware design – a response to Apple methinks!).
The casing is very well-engineered indeed, and the thing just works – and my oh my – that screen is just incredible – I watched the startup video in awe, and that is something I haven’t done in VERY long time for any product!
So now the MacBook Pro is in play, it’s going to be necessary to port the data from the Windows system over to the MacBook, and get the iPhone playing nicely with it – I can’t wait!
Once Rocketship Apple docks at Planet Apple, I’ll post up a final story about the teething troubles (I’m not expecting many/any now), and what the new Apple experience is like. Again, I really can’t wait to have a system that reliably works, doesn’t hang, and actually tries to assist you, instead of popping up irritating animated paperclips guessing at what I am doing!!
Bring on the Apple 🙂
