Intro to Mac-land
In the past, I’ve enjoyed some fairly nice computer hardware. A fringe benefit of owning a computer business as well as a necessity for someone asking a lot of their day-to-day computer.
I’ve been using a laptop as my main computer for almost ten years. I’ve found this works for me and suits my needs pretty well.
After a few fairly ordinary laptops, I moved up. First, to an Acer Ferrari 3400. A nice laptop with, for it’s day a great high res LCD was truly lovely (1400 x 1050 on a 15″ LCD). From there it was on to a Hewlett Packard NC8430. Again, a very nice laptop and, again, the high res LCD screen (1680 x 1050 on a 15.4″ LCD) was a joy to use.
For a variety of reasons, when it came time to consider a replacement for the nc8430 I took a bit of a tangent. At various times over the years I’ve used (and quite liked) Apple computers – all the way back to an Apple II when I was in high school (in the very early 80′s for anyone keeping score).
So, the new laptop in my life is a MacBook (a white one). More →
