System Revamp Part II

I recently switched my photography system to Nikon from anther brand.  A no-brainer, really.  Support is everything.  And until last week, I've been using Windows-based PC's for all my computing needs.  I've gone through at least 6 desktops, and 2 laptops since I joined the digital age. Windows was second nature to me, and I probably could've navigated it in my sleep.

I'm now using a Mac.  It's the industry standard when it comes to post processing and presentations.  I've been thinking about making the switch for a few years now.  And I finally did it.  With some generous and loving support from my dear mother over in Canada, I was able to buy a 15" MacBook Pro with an i5 core.  I've had this computer for little over a week now, and all I can say is WOW.  Apple really knows what it's doing.  Forget the haters, forget the anti-capitalist morons who say that Apple is using perceived value to jack up their prices.  I'll tell you now - it's worth it!  I've never had the peace of mind that I do now.  If for that alone, it's already worth the price tag.  But of course, it's also a monster at multi-tasking, has awesome battery life, and it's very easy to use!

I'm no expert, so don't take my word for it.  I'm sure haters all over the world will unite and burn me at the stake for my opinions.  But that's all they are - opinions.  I'm not doing a comparative analysis.  No technical jargon in this entry.  I'm not measuring any speed of this or that.  I'm just saying how the laptop makes me FEEL.  And I feel great. :)
