Why I fell in love with the Apple MacBook Pro

Apple MacBook Pro vs. Dell Inspiron 1100

I use a Dell Inspiron 1100 to do many of my blog posts while I’m in bed. It’s handy to have it hooked up to the wireless network in my house and be able to blog from anywhere. I’ve had this computer for about 4 years now. It has been nice and I’ve had no reason to upgrade until now.

Hovercraft ready for takeoff.

I’ve dealt with the fact that the Inspiron sounds like a hovercraft getting ready to take off from my lap. The fan has to kick into overdrive just to keep the thing cool.

Last night I was able to use an Apple MacBook Pro to submit my last blog post. What a freaking dream machine! My wife was using the hovercraft and my brother-in-law had left his MacBook Pro at our house. He has urged me to use it anytime I can. I’m now convinced he works for Apple and gets a commission when he gets people like me to use their products, fall in love and get one for myself.

I want to marry the Apple MacBook Pro.

This Apple MacBook Pro is simply amazing! First of all it’s super lightweight. It felt like having a spiral notebook sitting on my lap. Secondly, it emitted hardly any heat. When the Inspiron sits on your lap you end up with deep indentions from the sheer weight of the thing in addition to feeling like you had a frying pan sitting there. Another key feature amidst all the amazing features of this machine is the battery life. I usually spend a good hour writing my posts. When I was finished and I got my post all submitted where I wanted it the score was:
Dell Inspiron 1100 - 0% battery life and completely shut down. (My wife was in the middle of a Facebook post and it died on her)
———————————–
Apple MacBook Pro - 3 hours to go on the battery! I must say it was a relief to not hear the damn fan blowing anymore! There’s something that makes you a little anxious when you think your computer is about to explode.

The Apple MacBook Pro is a bloggers dream machine. I’m a website and graphic designer and it’s a freaking dream come true if that is your job as well.

Using the Apple MacBook Pro after using a Dell Inspiron 1100 after the last 5 years is like being outside in the heat after a few hours and being used to it even though uncomfortable, then walking into a nice air conditioned, low humidity room. Basically, I don’t want to go back into the heat! Apple is like a drug dealer and all of their amazing products like the MacBook Pro are highly addictive.

I’ve been a PC guy until now. My start was in programming and database stuff. Now that I’m more into design, the MacBook Pro is where I want to go. I’ve researched where to get a great deal on one. Amazon and users on ebay are offering pretty nice deals.

Check out the Apple MacBook Pro offered by Amazon.
