You can load windows on mac I've heard using a virtual machine since mac went to using intel chipsets. Personally I'm a PC person but I'm writing this response on my iPad 2
So after using my iPhone and falling in love with how easy it is to use and how reliable it has been I broke down and bought an ipad2. I used to think I would never own one after all I could buy a laptop for way cheaper and they did more stuff. Well I was bored in best buy and started playing in the tablet section after comparing all of them I could not believe how smooth and fast the ipad2 was compared to the rest, went home and did some research and decided to go for it and I will admit it is so much better than my laptop! I can use it for hours on end, it's light enough to use without feeling weighed down and it doesn't light my lap on fire like my laptop but the best thing I find is the screen is so clear and the perfect size you can read and watch videos comfortably. I am officially an Apple fan and I have never been happier!
Also I have the iPad2 in a hip street leather executive folio cover for now as soon as life proof releases their case that's where it will reside.
I totally agree with you. All it takes is one Apple product to win you over. I finally got myself an iPad 2 a couple days ago and I've been wondering why I waited so long. Im glad with the purchase I made.
I too come from using BlackBerry. I can't believe I stuck with that dinosaur of a platform for so long!! Everything about the iPhone is light years ahead! I've had every generation of iPod Touch throughout the years & loved them so decided to get an iPhone! By far the best choice I've ever made! Now I have an iPad 2 on the way from Apple. She's all Apple here! The only thing I haven't changed is my two Windows PC's! Maybe that's next!
I know, there's some Windows-only stuff. I've still got a Dell laptop. I backed up my old PC with Carbonite, and you can't restore a PC backup to a Mac, so I had to use the laptop as the bridge, and a thumb drive to move it over. Hassle but it works.
No they aren't cheap. But the eMachines PC that went toes up was about 17 months old, cost me about $600. Money down the drain. I hope this thing lasts, and I don't have to buy a photo editing, a cleanup program, antivirus software, music converting software, Microsoft Office, all that garbage.
Gateway drug is right...I thought I was wild and crazy with my 8gb nano and the next thing I knew I went back to the dealer for the touch which led to purchasing an iMac 21.5; which lead to purchasing the airport extreme, which led to slipping into Best Buy one late night and buying apple tv, have gone back numerous times for NECESSARY accessories and now I'm getting fidgety and jonesing for the iPad. I have these Apple Care band aids all over me and don't know where to go. AND NOW I'm posting on iMore...what the hell happened to me!!!! "MAKE THE APPLE MAN GO AWAY"Any one of apple's products is a gateway drug. Welcome you picked correctly.
