To Mac or not to Mac

[Snake1]

My ofice recently issued/ gave me a MacBook Pro laptop (for being a good boy)... however I'm not an Apple person and have not even thought of the getting one before.... unless its free.... and now it is...

I use my laptop for business and pleasure...(games/ "educational films" ) and its a jack of all trades for me... I've used the Windows format all my life and havent even as much as run my grubby lil hands on a Mac before...

However, Im at a crossroads here... im a practical person and am not one to feel SC over having a Mac.. I've also discovered that all Mac periphirials cost at least 4x to 5 times their PC conterpart...(wala pang Mac products and CDR King..hehehe)... a mouse for 3k or a power supply for 3-4k.. and the list goes on...

I cant have my cake and eat it too.... I can keep the Mac and endure its learning curve nad regret not being able to play Call of Duty..etc.... or swap it with my significant other's i3 toshiba laptop.... (She's been drooling over it)..I know that value wise.. I would be at a loss....but if if a Mac isnt for for me.. well....

What say you....?

Sell the Mac.

You buy things because you want to use it for your needs.

Since the Mac couldnt meet your needs, get one that will

you don't have to use apple accessories and peripherals (aside from the power supply, of course). i use logitech and other gaming mouse on my mac laptops because i never could get the hang of the small-flat-piece-of-sh1t-magic-mouse from apple - that thing is not meant to be used long term. find something that is comfortable to use and your wrist will thank you in the long run.

My problem with a Mac in a regular office setting is the inadequacy of applications like Outlook and Visio. I find. Myself switching back to the Windows VM for those apps. Mine works very well for home use though.

Some of our engineers use the Mac exclusively but still rely on a Win VM for some apps.

i don't promote Mac use to everybody - the right tools for the job ika nga. kung hindi appropriate ang Mac for your business then there's not much sense in using it.

You have a problem that isn't a problem

Just run Windows on your Macbook if you don't like a learning curve.

Swap it to your significant other, problem solved.

Use VM Ware. I am running on Windows and OS X Mountain lion on my iMac. You can switch to windows in a flash. Its like having to computers in one. Just make sure you have enough RAM. at least 4GB.

I dont see the reason why you would be at loss if you give the mac to your significant other, well on my book thats not a loss.

[jut703]

Pag nabasa to ng significant other mo iiwanan ka nun.

[MonteroGLSV]

go for mac.and install parallel desktop on it.

* shadow... you have a point although a laptop is a personal thing kasi for me... so if i give it to her and use hers..(does that sound right? ) its for keeps na....

*ronin.. i didnt know you could use a regular mouse for that.....susmariajoseph!! I'll try it out later... Thanks for the info

*andywesteast.... being my first time to use one... I didnt realize that...when I did further exploring....the Mac is actually already bootcamped to windows XP...


Thanks for the inputs everyone.... Im going for a win win solution.... I'll use it for a couple of months then I'll swap it with my partner.....
