Cultural Shock ahead

written by Mickey on 2007-02-05

With us moving in April to a new appartment, I will take the chance to fill the gained space in the new office room with a slightly enhanced computing infrastructure. Currently, I own one Windows (XP) machine, one GNU/Linux (Mandriva) machine, and a lot of mobile devices running GNU/Linux (OpenEmbedded-derived).

What has been missing since long is an Apple Mac. Not only because this is the 3rd supported platform for the Qt GUI-Toolkit, but also because Apple always had a special touch when it comes to usability, polishing interfaces, and streamlining workflows. I never owned any Apple product, so I'm quite curious how hard this cultural shock will affect me.

The only thing I need to decide though is whether I should go for a Mac Pro or a MacBook Pro... any recommendations?

(P.S. Of course, I will try to run OpenEmbedded natively on the Mac...)
