It sits there, it makes my desk more elegant and classy than it could ever be, and more importantly it never failed me.īut I still had a problem with the MacBook Pro being a clumsy machine I didn’t want to carry around with me all the time. Sure, my 2009 iMac doesn’t feature a Thunderbolt port and won’t get the performance boost of a Sandy Bridge-enabled machine, but it’s a trusted companion that I plan to keep for at least the next two years (that is, unless something really bad happens to the hardware, or Apple comes out with a desktop computer so revolutionary that it’ll be impossible to say no and don’t buy it).įor me, an iMac is the perfect desktop computer. I’m happy with my purchase – the iMac is the finest piece of desktop hardware Apple has come up with in the past decade. I bought a 21.5-inch model – again with a glossy screen – as I thought I wouldn’t ever need anything bigger than that. I decided to buy an iMac and make it my “home computer” so that I could offload media on it, backup documents, and do all those other things you’re supposed to do on “a home computer”. In spite of the fact that the MacBook Pro was the best computer I ever had, I slowly came to a point where I couldn’t stand carrying it around anymore. Being the kind of Mac user that travels back and forth every day between his office (where I spend most of my day writing and managing the site) and his home, I was tired of being constantly forced to pack my MacBook Pro inside a bag, carry it around, gently place it on the passenger seat of my car, and pray that the hard drive wouldn’t die because of the terrible roads we have here in Viterbo. That MacBook Pro has been with me until last week. A few months later my boss fired me, and I started MacStories. The moment I took it out of the box – and I was immediately impressed by Apple’s attention to detail in packaging and overall presentation – I knew that machine was going to change the way I “did work” on a computer. Back then, it was my first Mac but also the best computer I ever had. It was a 15-inch Unibody model with glossy screen, 4 GB of RAM, multi-touch trackpad, and Core 2 Duo processor. After months of reading and peeking through Apple’s FAQ pages and video tutorials, I decided to buy a MacBook Pro.

I had been a Windows PC user for seven years, and I was accustomed to using a PC at home for my browsing and writing needs, and at work – where my boss demanded we used PCs as he said they were more “reliable” and “fast”. This machine is shaping the future of OS X, both as an operating system and a bridge between iOS and the desktop. The new MacBook Air is the best Mac I’ve ever owned.
