Changing to the dark side…

So I have made a (rather late as usual) defection:

I went for the 15-inch 2.66GHz Mac Book Pro

So some thoughts after a few weeks are:

  • I feel like a poseur on the train/plane
  • I’ve dropped it once and it survived.  Phew!
  • I love the slim form (it slides into my bag nicely)
  • Windows 7 is really just as good as OS X.  Apple is just better at marketing!
  • I’m still struggling to see the benefit of the snow leopard upgrade (apart from a pretty wallpaper of a snow leopard).
  • But where it wins hands-down is with the ability to run multiple operating systems (using something like Parallels) which is something every geek needs.  This reason alone has won me over…
