Well I just got my first Mac. I've always been a PC user but with the recent advances in battery life plus the price reduction on their 13 Inch models got me switching over to MAC OS X.

I purchased the 13 inch MacBook Pro, 2.26 GHz; 4 GB Ram; 250 GB HD

So far, after playing with it for two days I can say that I am absolutely satisfied.

Yesterday I was measuring battery life, I had NeoOffice open, FireFox with 8 tabs, and running three ssh terminal sessions to some of the servers at work.

I tried to simulate a regular working condition and instead of working on my two desktops at work I did most of the work on my new MacBook. I got amazing 6:23 out of the battery :)

Since I tend to travel a lot Mobility and an extended battery life are a great plus for me.

Also I have to give Apple credit for the great case design. Is light and sturdy, and it looks great.

I also installed VirtualBox with Windows Vista Business 32bit, and it works great.

I needed the Windows Vista just in case I needed some of my work applications.

I was thinking of partitioning the drive and installing a separate partition of Vista, using boot camp, but I dont think I'll be using Vista that much and is just more convenient launching Vista out of my desktop without rebooting the system, just to access and app or two.

Cheers

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
