Apple
Two years ago, I purchased my first Apple product. After the iPhone had dropped in price from $599 to $299, I was able to afford one. I purchased the white iPhone 3G 16GB model. I was amazed at the speed and ease of use. The iPhone was and is definitely a revolutionary device. Before the iPhone, most smartphones were very primitive. The iPhone was the first phone to implement multitouch and the first phone to implement a touch screen in an easy-to-use and user-friendly way.
I am very impressed with the iPhone. I upgraded to the white iPhone 3GS 32GB when it was released last summer. The speed of the 3GS was amazing and the battery life was decent.
In November, my Dell laptop died and I had many bouts with Dell over receiving a suitable laptop for my needs that was comparable to the one that I originally had. After Dell was unable to offer all that I needed, I decided to buy a MacBook Pro and sell the one that Dell gave me. I had had it with Dell and Windows in general. I wanted to move to a sleek, simple interface that offered the robustness of UNIX. Mac OSX is perfect for that.
Three days ago, my MacBook Pro arrived. It is absolutely amazing. It is fast and simple to use. Everything about it is polished beyond belief. I have no major or minor complaints so far. I have been adjusting some to the new UI and the new way of finding things.
Installing applications is just as easy as downloading a single file and dragging it into the applications folder. *.dmg files are really just CD/DVD images, so burning a program to a CD/DVD is extremely simple. The OS takes care of all of it for you. Additionally, the $70 Magic Mouse is definitely worth the purchase. I like it because I can use it left-handed easily. I also like the multitouch functionality of it. I’m blown away by Apple’s OS.
It is no marvel that Apple yesterday reported their best non-holiday quarter ever.
The only thing that I must shun Apple on is their unwillingness to open source their products. That is it.
Here is a screenshot of my workspace. I currently have my MacBook Pro connected to my TV VIA Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI.
