This post is a continuation in a series of posts on Mac Hardware. Here is the first part.
Is there a difference between a ‘laptop’ and a ‘notebook’?
That is a great question! And the answer is……no. They are one in the same. So let’s take a look at the different Apple notebooks.
Apple MacBook Pro
– my personal computer. This computer is a workhorse packed up nicely in a very small and sexy notebook. If you are looking to do some serious computing on the go, then the Apple MacBook Pro is your perfect companion. As with all of the Macs, it is fully customizable in terms of hard drive, memory, etc… (yes, there will be a post on this later). If you are a video editor, photographer, or anyone that works with multimedia of any sort, a MacBook Pro is your companion.
Apple MacBook Air
– a true technological work of art. The beauty of the Apple MacBook Air is that it is so thin, that you can literally fit it in a manila envelope. In fact, that is how Steve Jobs introduced it to the world when Apple unveiled the MacBook Air for the first time. Keep in mind that if you are looking to make your first Mac notebook purchase, the MacBook Air would probably not be the best choice. There are some quirky things that were left out during development that, unless you know how to navigate around a computer, would probably leave you in a pool of frustration. If you are a business person who is always on the go, and needs to do basic functions such as check email, surf the web, edit documents, etc… the MacBook Air would be a terrific choice for you.
Apple MacBook
– this is your PERFECT introductory Mac notebook. If you are looking for your basic, solid, reliable, portable computer, the Apple MacBook is the perfect choice for you. This was my wife’s first Mac, and the transition for her from a PC to a MacBook was really easy. If you are new to the world of Apple/Mac and are looking to get your first taste of a Mac notebook, then this is your best pick. The link I have provided offers a very resonable price for this particular computer.
So tell me, what computer (Mac or PC) do you have, and what do you like/dislike about it?
