Linux to Mac
March 24, 2013
A lot of things have changed recently. I converted from a hardcore Linux user to Mac lover. I got a high-end MacBook from the office.
There are quite a few reasons for my fondness for Mac:
- The OS X is quite good and amazingly stable.
- UI and UX are quite good once you get used to them.
- Almost every application and tool under the sun is available to you.
- No messing up with hardware, just connect and play.
- Awesome battery life—I could easily get 8 hours of battery backup with this sweet machine.
- 13-inch is an awesome form factor.
Also, I recently got myself an HTC Desire X Android smartphone. It is a lovely piece of hardware. Not big or bulky. At 4 inches, the screen gives me enough screen real estate to do whatever I need to do. The camera is good as well. All together, I am quite satisfied with my phone. Did I mention Beats Audio? It is an excellent addition to my phone. I spend quite some time traveling to the office, and it feels great to listen to music while traveling.
Though I still love my 2-year-old Dell and Nokia E5. Some repair and polishing are required, and I will surely give them their due at the right time.
I love my hardware, and doesn’t everyone else too?
