My new Macbook Air 13"
Cost: 63k
Some basic points and my experience.
I've been using this for a week now. I haven't bought myself a bag yet so using a backpack for now. Planning to buy a messenger bag so I can cary my baby wherever I go.
Coming from windows it took about 20 mins or so and I had it pretty much figured out. The interface is very user friendly and access to programs is just a swipe away.
The trackpad is what makes the mac so productive. It's like i don't even need an external mouse. (probably do when gaming) The trackpad is crazy. There're swipes for almost anything. and then theres apps where you can add custom swipes. The possibilities are endless. I love the three finger swipe from fiullscreen applications.
Despite being a 4gb machine its blazing fast because of the ssd. Read and write speeds over 700mb/s. The machine starts up in 8 seconds and resumes from sleep instantly.
I have multiple tabs open in chrome and my trading platform, watching a movie with no decrease in speed switching from application to application. Photoshop loads in 3 econds
I've just been downloading apps all week.
Battery life has been awesome. I did a full discharge once and I charge the battery lasts me a day and half to two days. I have noticed that chrome eats more batttery than safari when having too many tabs open but not too significant.
Form factor. Its light and easy to carry. After using normal laptops it seems this is as easy to move around like an ipad. You can feel the build quality is strong. I love the brightness of the screen and the keyboard doesn't have bleed like other laptop keyboards which blind you. I love the mild apple glow on the back unlike my old hp which was too bright.
I tell you after coming from windows I am really loving the mac experience. I feel like I can have my entire life backed up with apps and syncimg with the iphone is really handy. Everything is so simple and comfortable I actually think I may be sticking to mac for the future. The only game I play is tf2 and that is playable on mac
If you make the switch to mac I truly believe you will find it a satisfying experience. No more stupid driver problems no more contact windows help centre, no more application has stopped responding.
Well that's about it for now. If you've got any specific requests I could help.
