The MacBook Pro 13 Inch
Find out why you should purchase a MacBook Pro 13 Inch and why after you do, you’ll never purchase a PC ever again!
First off, I have never been a fan of PC. Quite honestly, my issue is that I am pretty darn cheap. I don’t just blow money and buy things unless it is absolutely necessary. So, the reason why I haven’t owned an Apple all these years isn’t because I had trouble coming to terms with PC’s being crappy. I know this! I am NOT a PC Fan, I have been too much of a tight ass to spend money on a new computer.
The problem - I guess - is the fact that I am computer software / hardware savvy. In other words, keeping my existing laptops alive and in good working order comes natural to me. Despite the fact that Windows Vista is the biggest piece of dog crap with a over exaggerated price tag, I was still able to keep the memory hog of an operating system somewhat operational. As far as hardware goes, well… I always do maintenance on my computers, keep them clean, and upgraded when applicable.
After many years of wanting an Apple computer, I finally have one. I am the proud owner of a MacBook Pro. And let me tell you, this computer is very nice! I absolutely love it. With much careful consideration, I decided to go with the brand new MacBook Pro 13 Inch. My worst fear was that the computer would be too small. I realized, though, that I have been seeking small for a long time. For a few months, I have been wanting to use my iPhone to replace many daily tasks performed on my laptop.
This doesn’t always work out very well, but I can’t stand having the weight of a bigger laptop. The MacBook Pro 13 Inch gives me the best of both worlds. I get a very functional computer packed into a very beautiful aluminum shell that weighs less than 5 LBS. And let me tell you, this computer out performs any PC computer I have ever used.
As perfect as the MacBook may sound, I guess nothing in life is completely perfect. For whatever the reason may be, when I use my MacBook, from time to time, it bogs down. The stalling of the computer is different than a Windows based PC because typically when a Windows machine bogs down, programs start to crash and then the OS may fail. That doesn’t happen with the Mac. Instead, the computer simply becomes inoperable for a few moments.
Needless to say, this is quite annoying, but it sure beats having the computer crash. I am not a complete computer guru, but I believe that a simple memory upgrade would correct this problem. My MacBook Pro came with 2 Gigs of memory installed. The motherboard accepts up to 8 Gigs of memory. In due time, I will eventually upgrade the memory.
All in all, the MacBook Pro 13 Inch is the best computer I have ever owned. I was a little nervous about switching from PC to Apple because the operation of the computer is much different. However, it didn’t take long at all to totally erase my memory of ever owning a PC. Everything flows very nice with Mac OS X. Your next computer purchase should be an Apple. Once again, I chose the 13 Inch design because I felt like the cost was most justifiable. At one point in time, I considered purchasing the MacBook 13 Inch, but then Apple released the MacBook Pro 13 Inch and the cost wasn’t much different.

I’ve often thought of buying a Mac, but the only thing that put me off is that most of the software I need to run require Windows. I can’t even upgrade to “the biggest piece of dog crap with a over exaggerated price tag” because my business software will only run on XP! This could be changing soon and once it does I would love to give an Apple Mac a go.
As to it slowing down, how many aps did you have running at once? It seems strange that 2 gigs wasn’t enough for it to run efficiently.
Well, in all fairness to the Mac, I was running quite a bit of stuff at once. I think that you can run Windows XP, Vista, etc… off a Mac.
