I waste brain cells and I’ve so few left
I’ve been thinking about getting a MacBook for a while. I wanted to recover from previous extravagant purchases before making another. It’s now laptop buying time, almost. Apple has just updated the MacBook Pro line and, while a little more expensive, it is within my comfort zone. The Pro line has a few advantages to my mind, illuminated keyboard, better graphics card, but the MacBook fits my intended desire for enhanced portability. I want to move all my personal computer work to the portable and maintain my desktop for gaming only.
I have experience using both the MacBook and the Pro. I’m typing this on a MacBook Pro and I also have an iBook, both supplied by my employer. Although I don’t use a MacBook regularly, I’ve used one enough to regard them highly. I’ve never personally owned a Mac. This will be my first.
Truthfully, the only reason I’m considering a Pro is the upgraded graphics, I could play windows games on it. That is a foolish reason. I guess buying a laptop is foolish anyway, I should put that money into upgrading my desktop. As you can see making these kind of decisions aren’t easy for me. They aren’t for most people. I’ve gone over these options many times with people facing the same dilemma. I’ll probably go with my original choice the MacBook, but I’ll wait until after Mondays Developers Conference just in case there is some unexpected announcement.
