Beyond Expectations
By jaridann jamie on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018
You ever fight against something due to just being stubborn? I've never owned a Mac. I Mean I've used them in grade school all the way through high school. Starting with the black and white rectangular machines and ending with a bright blue iMac but that was school. At home? It was Windows. ALWAYS. My association with Mac computers were forced school work, boring projects....blah blah blah. Flash forward and I'm 30. Still a Windows gal (Android as well...*like I said stubborn*) I'm working for a great health care company and about to start classes again to advance my career...classes which are online. My job involves me using my work laptop which is a decent Dell... I travel though. My computer is heavy and my internet is slow at certain buildings. I'm a quick person....I just want to go go go and I've been feeling the anxiety of waiting. Waiting for my computer to load more than one program. Waiting for my mail to update. Waiting for my computer to restart due to it freezing. It's gotten to the point where I can see my work suffering during busy times. I can work faster than my computer allows me to. My boss is a Mac guy. Cool Dude. I hadn't paid much attention to his comments regarding how great they are because really? How much better can it be???? Man was I wrong. I received this laptop on Tuesday. I set it up that night. There was cursing and WTF moments due to my 12 year hiatus from the machine. I finally figured out how to print, open multiple screens and started finding out neat things I can do with the touchpad and shortcuts. It's been quite the experience. The biggest test thus far has been traveling to a building that's been notorious for causing me to get three quarters of a days work done. Well with the Mac I was working so fast and able to accomplish so much that I would pause and just stare at the computer. How the hell are there other options? I worked last night until 9pm with a fellow employee to try and do some catch up due to the holidays coming up. We legit knocked our work out of the park. Okay so what do I love about this computer? It's user friendly. Best advise from my boss was think of the easiest solution when trying to figure out what to do. It's usually the answer. He's correct. I've yet to have to google how to do something on this. I can just play around and figure it out....I take that back. I did ask Siri for help on screenshooting which is actually way better than any I've done with a previous computer. I get to make a frame of what I want to take a screen shot of. Pretty awesome. Another thing I love is the speed. I can see how much faster I'm working than others. I now see their struggle and feel for them....I feel like Macs should be the only laptops. I just can't picture myself using another computer knowing how great these are. Also this is refurbished right? It feels brand new. No dents, bumps or any issues. My boss checked it out and thought it was great. I checked the battery cycle. I guess with refurbished ones you're supposed to. It was at SEVEN. You replace your battery once it gets to 1000 so that's pretty awesome. Best decision I've made in years.
