Macbook Pro

My story with Apple

My story with Apple started late with first iPhone. I was visiting States for the second time and wasn’t planning to buy this phone. I’ve went to Apple Store to buy one for my colleague who wanted it badly. After I’ve seen it in action I’ve immediately bought one for me. And as there was purchase limit back then I wasn’t able to get one for my pal after all. I’m still feeling a bit sorry about that. Anyway, phone was brilliant and I consider it my best smartphone to date. However it was also last time I’ve bought phone from Apple as I don’t like to overpay and the new ones, especially in Europe, are too pricy. Not that first iPhone was cheap, but it had no real competition. Now when I was looking for new smartphone and saw Samsung Galaxy Note at much lower price than iPhone 4, the decision was simple. Not to mention that in my opinion Note offers more. Still IOS is much better operating system than Android and if somebody doesn’t agree then please borrow an iPhone from somebody for two days and see how it’s managing apps and how it generally feels. If you still think that Android is better then you’re Google Fanboy and I can’t possibly convince you. So if ever Apple would catch up technologically with Android phone makers and would drop prices to more reasonable level, then I’m ditching Android and getting back to IOS. However I would have to be insane to hold my breath to see it coming.

I'm a Mac!

Since yesterday I’m happy owner of MacBook Pro! I’ve waited long time and had many other desktops and laptops in the past, but finally I have it:) And it was a good deal, so double win, or like Americans like to say win win. And guess what? Yes, you’re right I’m writing this message from my new Mac!

As I’m still a newbie everything keeps amazing me. I’m really surprised what Mac OS offers right out the box. I’ve read a lot before I’ve bought it, but still shocked how easy it is to do anything on this computer. From the moment I’ve took it out from the box to be completely operable passed like 2-3, and it was already connected to the Internet! No more drivers. Most programs I need for day-to-day usage was already there, so to customize everything to my needs took me a lot less time than with Windows. And of course my favorite terminal is here! I can now log in to my Linux servers without third party programs. Pretty amazing. Hope everything be so fine in the future of my Mac journey.
