I had an infatuation with the MacBook Air in the process of
purchasing my Pro. I still do. It began then. I had never before really liked the Air. It’s thin. And when I first saw it for real, I was more disturbed than found it attractive – how can a laptop sustain being so ridiculously thin. And in the process of possessing my Pro, I realized what is so pretty and really awesome about the Aluminum casing they kept on going on about, but that I never appreciated before either. So, when I get satisfactorily really rich, I will own, at least one 11’’ Air and a 15’’ Pro amongst other things. Now, I want a tablet too. And the Air seems very probable to be one. With a keyboard, it’s almost thinner than the Kindle, or other stuff, I think. And I’d even read this slight speculation about people imagining Apple to put their A4 processors in the Air. And I found that brilliant.
Before my Pro, I was not a fanboy. I don’t like to think that
even now I am – I think I’m in a much better position of knowledge nd experience as to how using Apple really feels, especially after having used Windows for a long, long time, and now having used Apple for adequately long to know how it feels. Unlike fanboys (or anti-fanboys) who just take a side for no particular reason, without really having used the stuff. I still particularly feel sad about lots of Ux elements in the Mac OS, which I will talk about later, hopefully by the time either Apple, or I, have managed to find a fix for it.
So, I’ve been appreciating that Apple probably sells in the
weird way it does, probably because it deserve to. When I talk about the selling of iPhones and iPads, I would again be cautious because I haven’t actually used them. I have used the iPod Touch, but not a sustainably long enough time. I can only cursorily tell it’s a nice device – there’s not much else to compare with either. But the fact that the iPad sells, is very intriguing to me. Not intriguing in how-mysterious-this-is-a-stupid-device way. More of how-do-people-who-buy-this-actually-use it. It’s costly to just read books.
