My First encounter with Apple MacBook Pro
March 18th, 2006 by Niranjan Kunwar
Recently I was seriously thinking about buying a MacBook Pro to experience firsthand for myself why mac users are so religious about Apple. But I was lucky to get my hands on new MacBook Pro before even buying it. My Boss has bought a New MacBook Pro and let me use it for a while. I’m so excited and thrilled. We went to an Apple Shop together and bought it. So, today I had several Apple experiences for the first time:
1. Entered an Apple Shop for the first time.
2. Touched and Used an Apple Computer for the first time.
My first impression:
- The package box is very slim and beautiful.
The notebook inside the package is even more beautiful and sexier.
Wireless network just works.
First ride on Safari was cool.
I’m impressed by the speed of Imap in Mail.
Dazzled by the elegant front row display and sound.
My son had a real good time with Photo Booth special effects.
Downloaded and installed firefox. Installation starts automatically after the download is completed.
Took a Grand Tour at Mac 101; trying to make myself familiar with The Finder, The Desktop, The Menu Bar, The Dock, Application, Spotlight and so on.
I’m just getting started and will write more about my Mac experience in the future. Guess what I’ll be doing tomorrow…? Yes, you guessed it right! I’ll try to install Windows XP in this MacBook Pro. Stay tuned I’ll let you know how it goes.

[…] Recently I’m getting pretty obsessive with apple. Reading all forms of news and apple related blogs. For the past few weeks most of my Internet reading is related to apple. After my first encounter with macbook pro, then Installing XP on Mac and now with the release of Boot Camp, it looks like Apple is everywhere… […]

[…] After monkeying enough with the new MacBook Pro; Installing Win XP and opening it to take out the stuck DVD, we’ve finally settled with Boot Camp (not sure for how long ). Actually I really wanted to try the Mac OS X but due to the MacOnXp and Boot Camp thing the MacBook Pro was hanging around with me and my boss like a pendulum. So, now we’ve settled down and I’ll have one week of uninterrupted Mac OS X environment. I will not use any Windows for a week to see whether I can live without it. If I find it worth I’ll buy a MacBook Pro for myself and will join the club of switchers. BTW, this switcher’s blog is very interesting and I’ll also share my Mac experience here. […]
