[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 4135224, member: 1103"] Just Do It! The biggest step is moving your (mindset) after using one platform, like Windows, for a longish period of time. It takes some getting used to a new computer OS and way of doing things in order to be comfortable and efficient. It takes a lot of getting out of old comfortable habits. That is the biggest challenge - well it was for me anyway. I switched primarily to using macs at home and work around 2007. I'm now (just) onto my third MacBookPro which I bought in March. My previous MBP was still running strong after 7 years, my initial one I ran for 3 years and sold for a tidy sum on eBay at the time. The only thing I had to replace on the previous MBP was the battery as the capacity had dropped off so I bought a good quality replacement off Amazon for £60. Everything else was perfect including the original factory SSD from 2010. I've killed other SSDs fitted to machines in that time. The hardware quality of MacBooks is legendary and for good reason - they are still amazing well screwed together bits of gear. Of all the software that I currently use, honestly I find I spend more time "fixing" Windows than anything else - yes I've broken W10 (several times). Windows is a lot better than the days of Win 95 of course and it's descendants (all of which I used) but it's (still) a Lada next to a McLaren I'm afraid. MacOS formerly called OSX is a far, far superior OS in every way. Just Do It! [/QUOTE]
