So, much of the Internet is abuzz yesterday with the release of the new operating system for Apple computers — OS X Lion. Since my Macbook Pro is just under a year old, I only have come to know Mac OS X Snow Leopard (earlier versions are Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard), and what can I say but the experience has been nothing like I’ve ever had before, being a Windows user my entire computing life. I was discussing this with my sister a few days ago - I think it’s true that the cost of buying Apple products may not be justifiable for most uses, considering that you’ll get Windows-based laptops and PCs at half or more than half the price for almost the same hardware specifications. If you only need a computer for basic typing, e-mailing, or Internet browsing, then sure, a Macbook is not a lot more than a style upgrade. But I’m talking not just about outward style (i.e., looks), but also applications style - the best I can describe is that if you have an iPhone, which basically functions as well as your old Nokia or Sony Ericsson phone, but somehow there is that a little bit extra, something quite amazing that makes you love it a lot more than any of your old phones … I don’t even have an iPhone, but using a Macbook and an iPad gives me an idea. Ok, well, maybe I’ve been brand-brainwashed. That’s why I’m upgrading to Lion on the eve of it’s release without even giving it much thought. It’s new tech, not urban clothing; how can I ever go wrong with that?
