My new MacBookPro

My new MacBookPro! First let me start with, this thing is awesome. I haven’t been this excited about a piece of electronic hardware in ages. The look and feel of the MacBookPro is amazing. It just feels good! The operating system, OSX, is wonderfully intuitivel; it never seems to be in the way.

Now on to my complaints… My first MacBookPro would boot up with no problems, then the keyboard and trackpad would quit working after anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. This was very frustrating and I came very close to hurtling my $2,000 MacBookPro across the room in anger. I called AppleCare and we went through a couple of steps that I had already performed as a result of my online research regarding this problem, they then suggested that I return it to the store. This is where my biggest complaint lies. The nearest Apple Store to me is approximately a 1.5 hour drive, I had to go there twice to get a fully functional MacBookPro. When I took my first MacBookPro back to the store, they were very nonchalant and unapologetic about the hardware failure. I fully expected that they would throw in a free Mighty Mouse or at least a cheap case for my trouble, but no. So much for customer service!

Despite my troubles, I would fully recommend everyone in the world switching over to a Mac, they really are just better!
