dude, I bought a mac book air
 

I can't believe this shit. I bought a mac book air. I'm a PC guy. YEARS. Education. Microsoft.

Lion. Steve Jobs. Am I gay now?

I'm confused.

It was so sexy, it seduced me. I'll be spending more time at coffee shops working. I got tired being home all the time. It will be a nice change. So far it looks super simple.

The trick is being able to access all my resources and windows boxes on the go.

:helpme

You made a smart move. Congrats.

For blogging get Mars Edit, it will change the way you work.

Thanks for the support. I'll check it out.

It's interesting because he's holding a "chart" that resembles a mac air

Been mac for 4 years. Don't look back.

People who hate on Mac are people who can't afford the good shit.

If you are a true technophile, you are already on Mac.

If you are not, come join the rest of us in 2011.

Not sure about that,

PLENTY of technophiles are PC people.

What kept you from coffee shops before? Never owned a laptop?

wow thats was cool :)

Nice. I got my first one a few weeks ago. Be sure to get a sleeve. I ended up getting this one for a 13".

Good purchase. Been mac for 10 plus years.

Another +1 for mac here as well :)

many features pale in comparison to Windows Live Writer.

but hey, why not pay $39.95 for less as long as its for a Mac :thumbsup

im buying mac pro :) i like this

Have you used Mars Edit ? If so have you ever bothered to customize its inbuilt preset codes ? WIndows Live Writer is a piece of shit compared to Mars Edit.

See how well Windows Live Writer handles over one thousand blogs in it's configuration :2 cents:

U Mad Bro? :

If ever there was a single piece of software Windows ever got right it is Live Writer. Even the most hardcore fanbois will admit, I own a Macbook pro btw.

If you are a blogger, specially in this industry, half your job is manipulating images. Mars Edit lacks basic functionalities like editing an image once it is inserted into a post (short of editing the HTML, or deleting and reinserting the image) no watermarking either.... or effects...

And some basic functionalities like setting other attributes for hyperlinks can only be done by editing html...

Use Mars Edit for posting to hundred of splogs, but for serious blogger it is no more than a half suitable alternative to Windows Live Writer.

I have a imac which I purchased 2 months ago and it's amazing. But if I still want to be a PC guy, I can just reboot and load Windows7 on the Imac too. Best of both worlds.

you are screwed.,

anyways its ok for a change, but dont forget all time gr8, easily customizable, user friendly, cheap in cost , PC

8GB MacBook Pro i7 user here! (and iPad 32GB WiFi as extended screen)

I love my windows PCs and Linux boxes too ...

But Apple is not just an OS ... it a lifestyle .... a damn sexy lifestyle!

- sorry about the pic quality, but my blackberry does not have a flash :(

^^ this :thumbsup

what is it with mac & coffee shops? You cant bring a non-mac laptop to a coffee shop? :1orglaugh

and what is it with this cult like following, for a commercial brand of products? "come join us.." no thanks! :Oh crap

You can use whatever fits you best.. some like apple products others like pc-s somebody like iphone others htc.. whatever feels you happy

PC in a coffee shop = Black eye. Don't be silly, get a mac! :thumbsup

not true at all....

They're great laptops. I don't care if it's a Mac or PC, the fucking thing is designed very well. That being said, I have no use for something that sleek so I'll likely never spend the money on one.

In reality, I barely use my laptop as is.

Fixed for accuracy.

I haven't bought a mac :pimp

Man, I spent time working on it until I couldn't keep my eyes straight last night. I got most of what I need on it loaded up. There's some stuff like the adobe suite I won't purchase for it just yet.

No I don't need a mac to work at a coffee shop, but it's less than an 1" thick and supper light weight packed with power a full scale laptop has, plus an SSD drive, makes it a decent machine to do work with.

The operating system is solid and the finger motions I can do on the touch pad to move around on the multiple desktops is priceless. So far I'm loving it.

And no, this is not going to replace my PC. I'm on Windows 7 right now and this is my primary workstation I work on everyday.

This reads like a Scientology convert.

yep, or AOL :2 cents:

Plus one for Mac here too. Wrinting from my iPad...

congrats

don't be a dick... Steve Jobs knows what you do and don't need :2 cents:

gratz on being gay

coronas are HOT!!!

Good choice! I would like to have one, too! Got a MBP that I LOVE!
And - with Parallels I also have Win7 and Ubuntu. Just using thee fingers to switch between the screens. So, so cool!

I know people who can afford them but they still hate on them. Mostly because they're just haters..... to the core. Anybody who would say anything negative about another person because of what kind of computer that they use is an imbecile. And there are plenty of them here on GFY :thumbsup

Please, everyone who we compete with keep using Windows. I really don't want my competitors finding out how much more productive their staff are on a mac.

Congratulations on your purchase. I did the PC to Mac UPGRADE, THE WONDERFUL UPGRADE, THE FUCKING FANTASTIC UPGRADE, myself a while back. Woot Mac.

wow congrats you bought a computer!

Mac Air Rules
 

My "Queen of the Garage Sales" found a kickass leather portfolio awhile back. 2 week ago, I got a Mac Air 11." People go beautiful portfolio, then when I pull out the Air, are blown away. Got Max RAM & harddrive. Just plug it into cheap Gateway monitor. Granted, there are still programs that only Windows run. But I have run Parallels ever since my 1st MacBook Pro over 7 years ago. I am down to 6 Windows programs, one of which was a OS X program, they just haven't written a Lion version.
When upgrade time comes or just adding new programs, you'll see the time & effort you save. I walked into a coffee shop and had instant access to wifi. The girl at the next table had a Windows laptop and was crying as she couldn't get wifi.
Hate to say it, but a Windows computer is like a horse & buggy. You can deny those horseless carriages will ever amount to anything, but your denial is crap.
Not a noobie. I've been around since DOS. Even taught some high dollar programer that using the F2 key would allow you to change a file name rather than typing a log string of gibberish to update the junk software his company was trying to sell us.

how is imovie to work with?

My ipad has most certainly converted me from a pc to a mac. I shouldve converted sooner.

Keep the macbook air - just install windows 7 on it with bootcamp. MacbookAir + Windows 7 = Mobile computing nirvana.

another one bites the dust :)

most of the guys I know don't really care one way if it's a mac or pc or whatever BUT seeing you mac guys get so butt hurt about the comments is PRICELESS!! :thumbsup

I have 2, 30 inch cinemas and love them BTW, best monitors I've ever had so far...

LOL, that's what I get a kick out of as well. To me a computer is just a tool to do a task. If you prefer one over the other, more power to you. I simply don't care. I'm sure a Mac can do everything I need it to just fine, and maybe even better, but as of now I have no reason to test it out. Maybe someday.
