So my Inspiron is having troubles and I need to replace it, therefore my Thinkpad is going back to my sister to use. Considering getting rid of the Dell and picking up a MacBook.
Probably going to spring for the 2GHz since it's only $150 more and sports a SuperDrive which would be nice.
I've only touched upon OSX and it seems sexy. The MacBook looks sexy. So I guess you can say I'm a pretty superficial person =)
I'm a photographer (full time student, but photography is my life) so I figure Apple might be a good decision. However, with the Intel processors I don't think Macs have much performance advantage in the end. I'd just buy into Apple for the software.
I'll try running Aperture even though it's not supported, might as well.
Is there anything I need to know about Macs? Anything that's not supported (it's hard to imagine that)? Besides games, I'd hardly play any.
Tell me about the little programs its bundled with. I wont use iPhoto because it messes with my RAW files (turns them into jpegs, blah). How about the rest? What are essential programs?
Programs that come with OSX? Stuff you need to buy? Maintence? Stuff like DeFrag, Reg maintence, can I forget about all that?
