I love my Mac, but can I rely on it?
Since I bought my first Mac late last year, I’ve really grown to love it. I’ve already said many times that “I’m never going back”. In fact I’ve been very seriously contemplating upgrading my Powerbook to a Macbook Pro – I hate that my Java unit tests take twice as long to run on the 1.67 Ghz G4 CPU Powerbook as compared with the 3.2 Ghz P4 that I use at work.
However, this recent post by MJ, Aidan’s business partner at Infurious, makes me nervous. It seems that he’s had trouble with 4 *top of the range* notebooks in short span of time and not enough in the way of support from Apple.
Not the best sort of publicity for Apple to be generating at this juncture (or any for that matter). Perhaps the kudos points they’ve earned with their passionate and fanatically loyal users will carry them through, perhaps not – time will tell.
In the meanwhile I think I might postpone my Macbook Pro purchase.
