Last weekend my shiny new macbook arrived. I managed to get it non booting within 4hours when trying to setup a dual boot with ubuntu, also it didn’t want to connect to my wifi net. Nonetheless it looks very shiny and doesn’t fail to impress people with its neat features like the remote control and the iSight camera.

Since one of the reasons to buy a macbook was to try Mac OS X I’ve postponed the ubuntu install and work solely on OS X. I’ve to say as an ubuntu junky and windows drone, it’s a bit tough to get used to it. I miss the total control of linux (full cli amongst others) and the keyboard navigation of windows/linux. The bright side is; it is absolutely stunning (as long as it works) the nifty animations, front row and iSight don’t fail to amaze my fellow workers.

So after my first 48 hours of OS X I’d advise a intelMac to anyone who likes to play around: it looks funky, it works (most of the time) and you can always destroy everything and install windows
