There was a time when I thought I would never ever use a computer. I had tried once back around '86 with an IBM, but it was so awkward and user unfriendly I quickly gave up, thinking never again ~
About 10 years later I got a Gateway and started to get the hang of it, things had changed a lot. Now I can't imagine not using one Besides recreational use, finding information on anything I want to research, I have an on-line business these days. Heck, I even met my wife on-line !!!
So computers have amazed me and certainly changed my life, and for the better.
Recently my Lenovo laptop had pretty much slowed to a crawl and there didn't seem to be anything I could do to get it running at a decent efficiency any longer. Two years ago I bought an Apple I Mac and love it, but I do spend a lot of time with a lapbook. The MacBooks are pretty pricey, so I have been checking out the deals on their refurbished units. I was getting closer to ordering a refurb when Apple announced the new MacBooks, upgraded with a faster processor, more memory, yadayada ~~~
I bit the bullet and grabbed a little 13" model and WoW !!! :happy
It is just amazing!
The track pad responds to all kinds of gestures and is becoming second nature pretty quickly. The whole thing is just a really nice design, great image on the monitor, fast as could be, and Macs are really well integrated, everything just makes sense and works well together
