Well I guess I can say I&#8217;ve definitely switched, seems there is no going back.  I like OS X, it has some quirks but in time I&#8217;ll get over them (still think Finder is crap).  I decided on the MacBook instead of the pro mainly due to size.  Also probably the overriding factor was the fact it was half the price.<\/p>\n<p>Haven&#8217;t really used it a lot at the moment, though been using Lightroom beta a lot more.  The extra processing power over the MacMini seems to help it.  Overall impressed, it&#8217;s fairly quiet.  Fans do kick in a bit when using PS\/Lightroom but that is expected.  It seems to cope very well with Parallels\/XP.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>My only gripe is the lack of 2 mouse buttons, though this is rectified by either holding the button down or pressing on the mouse pad and button.  In time I&#8217;ll get used to it.<\/p>\n<p>All I need to do now is get a suitable bag, currently waiting for Jessops to get a Stealth Reporter 550aw for me to try.  I&#8217;ve looked at the 400 and 650 and would like to try in between.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.kebabselector.co.uk\/ghz\/desktop1206.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s only been 3 months since the big switch and now I&#8217;ve gone a bought a second Mac.
