The new MacBook


The new MacBook laptops from Apple have arrived and they are awesome. Built from a single piece of aluminum, they are seamless, have no screws or drill points, are blazing fast, have great features like backlit keys updated touch pad, and maybe best of all, a new LED screen that is much brighter and sharper than the traditional LCD screens of today.

There is even an option for a solid state hard drive (only 128 gig though). Solid state is lights years ahead of the hard drive in the computer you have as you read this, (2008) because it has no moving parts. It is basically a huge flash drive. What kills hard drives and makes them lose data, is the spinning and spinning. After a while, a spinning hard drive will fail. Solid state will probably out live us all!

When you want to combine computing power and style, Apple is the only way to go. These laptops also run Windows operating systems (who’d want to?) so that if there are any programs that are considered a must have, but only run under Bill Gate’s tyranny, then that issue is solved. Honestly, being able to run both systems together leads me to wonder why everyone doesn’t have a Mac. They are more user friendly, don’t require virus protection, don’t shutdown due to programs running an “illegal operation” and just simply work.

After all the heartache of updating my virus software, losing my work from a program shutting down, and being hassled with endless error messages when trying to add a printer or unplug a flash drive, I made the switch to Mac and haven’t looked back. Actually, because so many people use Windows, and because of Microsoft’s notorious attitude for hostile domination, many hackers and virus authors target Windows. That’s fine with me! Apple viruses hardly exist because people who want to cause large devastation with a virus pick on the software maker with the largest market share. With Apple, that’s less than 10%.

So all you Windows sufferers out there, please continue to buy that terrible junk sold by Microsoft, because it is keeping the viruses aimed elsewhere, instead of at my solid Mac! For everyone else who is tired of the endless troubles and updates that has plagued Windows for decades, come into the light. Afterward, you’ll wonder why it took so long. Just remember, with Mac, it’s “plug and play” but with Windows, it’s “plug and pray.”
