The Ultimate MacDate

Posted by michael on from the going-dutch dept.

Hack Jandy writes "Anandtech - the PC hardware site - took the Apple challenge and tried a Mac out for a month. The result was the most indepth Macdate I have even seen. As quoted by Anand, 'In the end, Apple has developed a very strong platform.'"

    Until about half a year ago, I had never even thought about buying a Mac. Then I broke a bezel on my laptop. Ultimately, that forced me to evaluate every laptop I could get my hands on for durability. A couple months and about $3K later I was a happy 17'' Powerbook owner. The only downside to that was that another couple months later my lady decided she can't live without a Powerbook either...

    And then it occurred to me:

    • 12-inch Powerbook -- $1.6K
    • Memory upgrade -- $100
    • Brenthaven shoulder bag -- $140
    • Not having to support Windows -- priceless

    My only problem with Microsoft is the severity of bugs in their software.

    After all, when was the last time you installed your OS and everything worked as expected on first boot?

    Every time. Maybe you just need to lower your expectations for Windows.
