Today is the first time that I have used my new MacBook outside of the house or college and I have to say I’m impressed with its performance. I’m sitting in a pub in Wales writing this entry. I am indoors though because the glare from the sun is too much.

My Windows Laptop was, and still is, way too noisy to use these days without deafening everybody within a 20 foot radius. It’s a shame really, because it was a nice laptop when I first got it. Maybe I should format and install Windows XP on it (currently has Vista). Having a Windows machine does have advantages too, don’t get me wrong. It has the software I use for my University course on it and I can’t afford to put them on the MacBook just yet.

It’s nice though to be able to go out and not be stuck in the house on such a nice day. The battery life on the MacBook is extremely impressive. I charged it this morning and have been using it for about 3 hours already, and it informs me that I still have 2 hours of charge left!! Mind you, I’ve only been doing basic word processing today on it. Everything about this machine impresses me if I’m honest. Much more than any Windows based machine ever did.

There’s always something new to discover and most times the software that comes with the MacBook for free would cost you an arm and a leg for a Windows based machine.

I’m definitely an Apple Fanboy now. Viva la Apple!!
