The New Mac...

This past weekend I purchased a brand new laptop to replace my aging Dell. My curiosity turned me to Apple. A few people I know have them and love them. So I took the plunge and so far I am glad I did! I was a little nervous about switching from a PC to a Mac. I am not at all familiar with the operating system on Mac but Windows has been driving me crazy. When I pulled my new MacBook out of the box and turned it on it asked me about 4 questions and then it was setup. Everything worked instantly. I was like wow, fast. Then I needed to download my stuff from the PC to the Mac. My intent was to wirelessly network both machines but the wireless on the dell had stopped reading my modem for some reason. I was also confused about how to use the cable to transfer, Ron and I both had issues with that. Then I had to go and get the cable wet and ruined it. So I used Ron’s external hard drive. Transferring the files from the PC to that drive took about 45 minutes. Transferring the files from the hard drive to the Mac took 10 minutes. All I had to do was drag and drop the files and it all set itself up. To date, I am impressed with my purchase. I even had a video chat with a friend back in London and was crystal clear. The MacBook has a built-in camera that works great. Everyone told me that using a Mac would be much easier and more efficient-which I am all about. Just the look of the machine is great. Very sleek, simple, and stylish. Despite the price tag the purchase was well worth it!
