Absolutely. Apple's Mac line is very narrowly focused and if you're not interested in the feature set they include, the price point is a little tough to swallow. BTW, I've been an Apple user for years. As a designer, the feature set fit me perfectly and now that they run Windows, I have no reason to switch back (other than to build my gaming rig I want this year). Even one of my software engineer friends switched over to a Macbook Pro this year because he wanted the versatility of running virtually every operating system he can think of on the same machine. For people like him, that's a pretty significant bonus for the platform. One place where Apple laptops really stand out is the form factor, specifically the trackpad. The LARGE multi-touch pad absolutely beats the shit out of every other trackpad I have ever used on a laptop, and I've used a lot of them. |
That's the kind of thing I need - the "mouse-substitute" has sucked on every laptop I have ever used.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
