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?
