So it’s been almost a week now that i’ve had my macbook and its been amazing! Picked the usability of it up quite quickely and know my way around. Still finding it difficult to get used to the keyboard although its coming on.

 A few things I love about the Macbook is the speed and overall sexy look. I knew from the first minute of actually messing around with a Macbook that I wanted one, and now luckily enough I have one. A week on now and its been great, the look, the feel the browsing the applications everything is so different from Windows.

Obviously I will be using my PC to design on but even only a week in i’m finding myself on my Macbook more and finding it so much better to work on, so is this the time to switch to Apple completely?! Maybe so. I will be purchasing an wireless Apple Mighty Mouse soon so I can do my designing on my Macbook aswell.

Some things that annoy me on the Macbook are the fact that it only has one click rather than two (like a right click on any other laptop). An example of this is when I am designing and sometimes I want to right click and simply copy the image but can’t. Another thing is the ‘@’ key. Why has it got to be there!? (Rhetorical question - I know why) I always find myself typing in my email address and end up typing ‘info:eatfruitplease.com’… something i’ll get used to though.

So overall, already i’m loving my Macbook. I’m using iMovie and messing around with GarageBand, both two amazing applications. I also love the Chess game - haven’t won a game yet though - but its great! Anyways just a quick update letting you guys know how the Macbooks treating me. I’ll update next month to see how it’s going and to see if i’ve converted completely to Apple.

Kindest regards,
James
