The notebook I bought came without an operating system and I tried several Linux distributions till I finally decided that Ubuntu works best. However, the price for a simple Apple notebook is very high, considering you can find a good laptop for less than a quarter of the price, which also comes with a DVD drive and a card reader. Therefore I recently decided to buy a notebook which I can use for traveling. Also, some apps down-scale the photos, which is okay for the web, but not really if you want to do large prints. I mainly used a tablet computer but as you have to use several apps which all save the picture a new, the small hard drive is full very quickly. However, when I travel I sometimes end up in little villages where you can not really do anything at night and so I like to work on some photographs that I can also upload here from the road. On the other hand, I like Apple, because there are still a lot of creative programs around that do not exist for other platforms and therefore I like to keep true to Mac OS X. I’m especially unhappy with some programs needing a lot of time to just open (and I’m not talking Photoshop here, but programs like Apple’s iWork programs, or their browser Safari). (My current computer had to be repaired a couple of times – something I never experienced with Apple hardware before!) I have the feeling that there are much more problems and the system itself needs much more resources. Though in recent years I’m not too happy anymore, which basically started when Apple decided to switch to Intel processors. When I bought my first Apple computer more that 10 years ago I was amazed how well everything worked. I have been using Mac OS X for years now.
