I just bought a MacBook Pro and I started using it for the 1-st time yesterday. First impressions? I like it. It has great looks and so far it’s fairly easy to use. It’s fast!<\/p>\n
But it’s different! I am used to Windows and I’ll have to adjust and find ways to do some more complicated things.<\/p>\n
Wireless<\/strong> It has a Wireless N Wi-Fi receiver. It’s much faster and can reach X-times as wide as G. It’s the next generation Wi-Fi — but it takes forever to actually get approved by IEEE. I also liked it when it discovered my home network right when I was configuring the machine for first time. I was on the network in no time. No technical expertise required.<\/p>\n Keyboard<\/strong> It’s just beautiful. I love typing using it. The backlight is something really special.<\/p>\n Installing Applications<\/strong> Seems to simple to be true. I’m a big confused on how things work. I was able to install Skype and Firefox with no issues but I’ll have to get more comfortable with the process.<\/p>\n Files – Hard Disk<\/strong> I’m a bit confused where everything is located. Do I need to know? Not for now. \ud83d\ude42 I’ll figure it out.<\/p>\n Users<\/strong> I setup two accounts on the computer. However, when I logoff, it seems that I have to shut down all applications. It can’t be true. I want my wife to login, do her stuff, etc, but I don’t want to close my open apps. It must be something I’m doing wrong.<\/p>\n Second OS<\/strong> I heard and have seen how you can run another operating system in parallel. I would love to use XP and Linux. Boot Camp allows you do that, but I think I might have to buy VMare to do that effectively. Will have to investigate about this.<\/p>\n Overall, it’s a thing of beauty. Great looks, elegant design. It’s a Mac! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just bought a MacBook Pro and I started using it for the 1-st time yesterday. First impressions? I like it.
