Well, I bought a black macbook and man is it slick. You talk about a quality piece of hardware. I don’t mind the operating system so much either — it has its quirks and little things I’m not used to (why mix the launch of applications with the list of running tasks? It’s counter intuitive to me, but I suppose it does save screen realestate). I am going to put a Windows VM on it for IE7 testing, but the majority of my work will be in OS X.
I’ll still be using XP/Vista full-time on my PC, however, as I need to be able to game, etc., given that I run a CS:S team (not that I get to play as much any more, but that’s fine). I wasn’t so thrilled at the idea of plopping down so much cash, but I need the machine and I’m sure it’ll be nice to have on trips and such. I bought 2GB of ram from newegg and am waiting on that to get here; until then, it’ll be running a bit slower than I’d like. I would have bought the ram locally, but the cheapest price was through Apple themselves at $175, 2.2 times as much as I paid through newegg. Many of the places wanted 4x what I paid through newegg. Oh well, I’ll just have to wait for it to come in.
