I’ve been having some trouble with my Macbook and was starting to feel quite frustrated. However, my computer at work was acting up too. For the past three months, it took longer to boot up into Windows XP Professional day by day. It now takes almost 30 minutes. There was no new software installed or updates done. Basically the computer just slowed down over time. I don’t have the same kind of experience with OS X. I have never faced the need to reinstall the OS on my Macs unless I’m upgrading it to a newer version. So overall, I am not going to ditch the Macbook yet.
A friend was getting married and we were going to put together a short video clip. However, my friends with a PC commented that they could not do some of the cool video stuff without purchasing additional software. The bundled iLife suite with iMovie could do all this with ease. So yes, the overall macintosh experience is better.
