Why I like my MacBook Pro - The Little Things

A friend of mine asked me to record some of the reasons I like my new MacBook Pro so much. Here it is.

MacBook Pro - The Little Things

  • Boots in 10 seconds
  • Multiple desktops (spaces)
  • Trackpad so nice that external mouse no longer necessary
  • Safari browser favorites easy to use without having to have a favorites bar showing and taking up space (it pops up when you click in the URL textbox)
  • Text on my Mac with keyboard instead of using my phone
  • Decline calls from my Mac
  • Shuts down in two seconds
  • On Windows, tool tips pop-up immediately. That’s always been a pet peeve of mine. As you’re moving the mouse around the screen, things keep popping up and getting in the way. On the Mac, you need to pause over something for the tip to come up.
  • Copying files and opening file explorer doesn’t fail.
  • It took 10 minutes for my Win 10 laptop to boot. It blue-screened, then restarted and downloaded updates.
  • Power cord attaches to laptop magnetically. No getting loose over time.
