<p>in 2006 I bought my first Mac. A white Macbook, the second generation of Intel
|
|
with a core 2 duo processor. Even though it had a spinning disk when you clicked
|
|
on safari it would launch instantly. It was amazingly fast.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Back then the OS was 10.4 Tiger. Tiger was the pinnicle of Apple operating
|
|
systems. It was the first time an OS X operating system had all the features
|
|
one would need, and before they started adding cruft to slow the system down.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Extremely fast boot</li>
|
|
<li>Spotlight search (Still better than Windows search to this day)</li>
|
|
<li>Better trackpad feel</li>
|
|
<li>Unix and X11 support</li>
|
|
<li>Automator</li>
|
|
<li>Slick responsive and cohesive ui</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>I also have parallels desktop on my macbook, and I recall collegues being
|
|
amazed to see me running Mac OS, Ubuntu and Windows concurrently without
|
|
any apparent performance hit. I feel like I've not had a computer as good as
|
|
that macbook since.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sadly over time the macbook developed a problem with the backlight and with the
|
|
battery failing it became unusable. Work had started providing me with their
|
|
laptops, so it didn't seem to make sense to buy a macbook again.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>On the upside, tomrrow (07/09/2018), I will be getting a work supplied macbook.
|
|
:)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'll update this article with my experiences.</p>
