The inevitable switch

April 9, 2006 at 9:52 am (Apple)

Ever since I laid my bare hands on an Apple product (the ubiquitous 2nd gen iPod) I knew I experienced one of the very few moments of epiphany in my life. For the next 3 years while I admired, ogled at the sensibilities of the OSX, I knew the “day” was coming – the day of the switch.
And so it did – March 31st 2006, the day I was swooped into the ‘reality distortion field’. I broke down and got the MacBook Pro (couldn’t they have named it better ?)

Though there are some reports on MBPissues , I fortunately got the REV D with all those probs resolved except the heat issue. As Om sometime refers, it indeed turns into a toaster oven after 30 min. But I don’t mind that too much because this baby just rocks ! The only thing that slowed my decision-making initially was the lack of firewire 800, PCMCIA and the 4x DVD burner. But really, how many times am I going to burn DVDs ? Would I really use any PCMCIA card in the next one year by which time the market would be full of Express cards ? Would I really be stranded by 400Kbps transfer speed Vs a 1 mbps ? I didn’t think so. And so I decided to burn my pockets deep. And now ever since I got my MBP I truly share the feelings of an Intel chip -not trapped anymore and feel like I have been set free and now can live beautifully in a…errr…with a Mac :-)
