So this is how things are supposed to work.
It’s been a while that I have had my eyes on the MacBook. Fortunately, the retarded CompUSA decided to go out of business, and I got in on the liquidation. All Macs were 15% off, which is something that never happens. At this point in time, their stock was quite low, though I managed to pick up the black MacBook with only two remaining.
As a Linux enthusiast and Microsoft System Specialist, I have been continuously exposed to different environments–including their flaws and benefits. I side with Linux on this issue because things tend to work the way I want them to work. Windows tends to not work the way I want it to work, often leading to performance issues or BSoD (and Apple is aware of this: see SMB Shares icon).
With Mac being a BSD UNIX OS, strikingly similar to Linux, I see many benefits of using it. For one, the software provided is generally better than the software available for Linux, though software available for Linux tends to be ported to Mac quite often. In addition to being UNIX, the internets tend to work better, like such as, formula1.com. On Linux, this site was slow and all the features were somewhat confusing to navigate around. In Mac, it is displayed probably how it was intended to be displayed. And it is fast.
Some might ask, do you regret spending the approximate value of your left kidney to purchase a MacBook?
No. My kidneys are self regenerating.
Thank you for reading. Peace out lil’ scouts.
Just hope tomorrow’s release of new MacBook Pro’s doesn’t include MacBooks. Other than that, the MacBook is awesome. I picked one up for Rebekah right when they came out, and outside of a DOA combo drive, it’s been a great little machine. One tip if you’re buying a new mac, buy it from Amazon, they generally have an extra rebate and also you don’t pay state tax for most states.
I’m not very good at math, but I think my savings of over $225 is greater than the current $0.99 savings from Amazon.
Ha, well yeah I wasn’t meaning for you. Plus they have random $150 rebates. I think I picked up the base one for about $930 from amazon total. Granted it’s not the cool black one (yes I am jealous).
Although in about a week or two you should see them down by about $200 or so on Amazon, if this is true: http://www.macrumors.com/2008/02/25/macbooks-and-macbook-pros/
