Ok here I come!
Ive just purchased a new Macbook Pro 13 - the new 2010 version with the 2.66GHz CPU (I always like to get the max spec since upgrading laptops id harder then PCs etc).
I work in the IT industry (Network Manager) but have never even used a MAC before!
I decided to take the chance to get a MacBook even though I have a higher spec Dell Inspiron at the moment as I wanted something portable, yet powerful - hence the 13" - and Im a sucker for good looks! My iPhone has been one of m all time best gadgets, and I would be lost without it - Im hoping the MacBook will be the same!
I only really do the basics at home - check email, web browsing, the occasional document etc - but another reason for purchase is I want to get into the app development side of things and see what I can make......
I have a 2 week wait until mine arrives (ordered through work since I got it at less then half price!), and am a little nervous about how I will take to it, whether it will take me long to get used to it, and so on! Just need to figure out how to move all my iTunes across to it so I can continue to sync and backup my phone, and then move all my emails across from Outlook 2007 into Entourage (I'll need Office 2008 for the Mac) - other then that I should be OK with other stuff I think!
Are there any 'must have' apps I should be looking at?
I use Paint.net on my current system - whats the Mac alternative (I cant afford Photoshop!)?
