I can't believe I waited so long to switch from PC to Mac!
I purchased the 13-inch MacBook Pro about eight months ago. I needed a new laptop and it was a toss up between a Mac and Dell. I've always been a PC person, so I was a little hesitant about switching operating systems. But after speaking to several people, I decided to give the MacBook a try. I can't believe I waited so long to get a Mac! I use my laptop exclusively for my business and personal projects, so quality, speed and ease of use are all very important to me. The video quality is great - I watch movies on it all the time. It's lightweight and sleek, perfect for travel. I had debated between the 13-inch and 15-inch models and am glad I went with the 13-inch. I thought when I was ordering that it might be too small and would be difficult to work with for long periods of time. It's not at all. I think it's about the perfect size! The backlit keyboard is nice for times when my kids are sleeping and the lights are dimmed. I can run multiple programs and applications at the same time without any lag - a necessity for sure! I've found that the Mac is easy to navigate and is very user-friendly and intuitive. I like the built-in webcam, which has come in very useful when traveling. The built-in mic and speakers aren't bad, either. The battery life is pretty good - about 7 hours or so on battery alone depending on what you're running. It recharges very quickly, as well. My software updates regularly and they're usually completed quickly and without interrupting what I'm doing. Even when it needs to reboot, the loading time is so fast that it's barely an issue. I have yet to get any viruses on my Mac - my old PC got viruses every other week and the only way to prevent it was to pay a fortune in anti-virus software. From now on, when I need a new computer, it'll be a Mac.
