MacBook

I got myself MacBook before I left the UK - one of the new white Intel ones - the cheaper version. I didn’t need one, but I figured I should know more about Macs, so I got one.

It looks pretty and feels nice, but so far I’ve got two complaints…

  • The keyboard takes too much effort to type on. I find that it misses letters too often because I’ve not hit the key hard enough. It’s a pretty major problem at the moment but I’m hoping I’ll get used to it.
  • It’s not got enough memory. It copes just about ok but it could certainly do with more! Obviously money can solve this problem, but the point was that it was a (relatively) cheap toy - especially having used my girlfriends student card! It’ll end up hers in the end anyway.

These two problems will only affect me for a year however, because I’ve got a secret plan! Sshhh! I’m going to buy a 17″ pro when I get back from Peru - and it’ll be core 2 by then. Can’t wait. I’ll bootcamp it and use it for my windows work too. Mmmm.

Now I can’t decide whether to use the Mac or PC to do my Rails work… decisions, decisions.
