Just purchased my first Macbook laptop 13' from bruceleestore.

As an avid Windows user since the day I used Windows, think Windows 3.1, I now see why Mac OSX had gain more and more popularity over time.

The first impression was the OMG factor. The contents of the box itself is very tidy and minimalist. When turning it up for the first time, the setup assistant was very helpful and the entire account is setup in the matter of seconds! Try and beat this Windows 7! This alone is very impressive. I believe the tagline 'It just works' proved to stand by itself.

The first thing that I did upon booting into the OS is to play around with the System Preferences. There is just so many settings to tweak and play around with. And jolly gosh, the track pad multi-gesture is better than what I had expected. In fact, it is the best trackpad that I had used thus far! My mind is now poisoned.

The only thing that I miss is, where is the Insert and End key button XD

Time to go shopping for some screen, keyboard and trackpad protector. smile.gif

Edit: Now what should I do hmm... hmm.gif

After using Mac for some time now I find myself using keyboard shortcuts more often than I would when using Windows.
