Yes I said it a MAC. Like in Apple. I have gone and done something I thought would never happen. I purchased a Mac. Now I went for the Macbook Pro 13inch screen and it seems nice. Little weird to get around but am finding it less complicated that I thought it was going to be.
Now Many people who know me are going to be no you didn't. But yes I did I sold my tablet PC and went with the Mac. Why well number 1 reason is the battery life. With a deployment in my future I wanted to make sure that I was not going to go into withdraw with not having computer access to fumble around, watch movies and such.
It was about time its been 3 years since I upgraded and I am going to make myself keep a journal/ blog for the foreseeable future. I need to be able to get things out rather than forgetting them or bottling them up.
With a battery life of 8+ hours on a single charge it sparked my interest. And after watching some of the videos on the software I was convinced. So I went tonight and purchased it. Now of course I made sure it was ok with the wifey who apparently was thinking of buying it for me since I am such a tight wad and did not want to spend the money at first. So it happened.
It has not been all roses though. I bought this band new to only find out that the new ILife 11' did not come installed and if I want I need to upgrade already. Ok its only 7 dollars but the biggest thing is that it is not a download it needs to be shipped and guess what Apple will not ship to a APO. They wanted me to use some third party solution to have it shipped. A little of a bugger.
Second thing is I guess I have been a little spoiled with my IPOD touch in thinking this was the MAC world new and improved with fast and easy apps that upgrade easily and automatically. Nope not yet apparently I cant go to I tunes store and purchase software for the MAc like I could my touch. But who knows what the future will have in store.
But it looks good and the more I research I am finding apps and i can't wait to start trying to put some movies together.
Until then we will continue you to blog and see what adventures my and my new macbook can get into.
