A New Year a New Machine
December 31, 2009
Finally took all of the advice given and took the leap to a Mac Book Pro.
Currently creating this weblog from MarsEdit – not as good as Windows Live Writer though.
Theres some odd stuff but so far loving it – I am basing my setup on Ben Poole with whom I have the pleasure to be working with.
Will try and give an objective view of the pros and cons once I have used it a bit more in anger.
Good to hear from you Mark… Besides the IMAC what other projects are you working on ?
Did you have any trouble with networking – specifically connecting to wireless hot spots? I had some trouble getting Scott Good’s Mac Book to connect in the office when he first got it. We eventually ironed it out but it was a bit painful at first. My old Dell Inspiron 6000 is just getting slower and slower. I don’t think I can perform any more optimizations!
Hi Jerry – no problems with networking.
The mac is very good but not exactly value for money
I originally went down the route of buying cheap inspirons (I paid about £500) and intended to turn the machines over every year. The inspiron 15 was actually very good- still have it as a backup machine.
