Mac

Recently I bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro to see what it is like.  It is expensive than a Windows laptop.  Is it worth it?

Coming from the PC world, I am not used to the new environment:

  • the way windows are manipulated
  • the limited number of keys
  • the multi-touch trackpad
  • the unfamiliar keyboard shortcuts

But in time, I’ll get used to it.  What is nice about it?

  • Design.
  • Long battery (7 hours).
  • Mac OS X contains a lot of applications.  Developers can download Xcode, Interface Builder, and other tools from the Apple Developer website.
  • Easy access to Apple support via Apple store or phone.
  • Unix terminal.
  • Many other things…

I think it is totally worth it.
