Tech It Easy blogger, Jeremy Fain, is in Paris. Trés bien. 3 months ago, under the influence of too much red wine and croissants at breakfast time, he bought into the Apple popularity paradigm. In other words, instead of buying two decent PCs, he converted all his worthless dollars into Euros and splurged on a gorgeous 17" MacBook Pro. Pourquoi?

MacBook Pros are perfect for winter

Jeremy really enjoyed the chance to pose, I mean, surf the internet on the sidewalk outside various rudely staffed street cafes. Whilst writing an email, he realised he had a definite advantage over the sad Dell Un-Inspiron user base surfing wirelessly on adjoining tables. While they were wrapped up in duffel coats and scarves, he was in shirt sleeves, soaking up the heat from his laptop.

Mac Book Pros suck (your battery) the big one

With one eye on his dwindling battery life, and a perpetually twirling widget on his Mail app, he realised time was short. Even if he finished his email in time, sending it could be an issue. His antenna was not quite as poky as the Dell boys', but after much wandering about, casually pointing his computer at anything resembling a base station, he was able to access the internet. Being sat on the far left table, he was in a direct line with the router, but the direct view of the trash was a bit of a bummer.

A heart warming experience

After ordering yet another kir from grumpy Pierre, life became good again for the sweating surfer. The wireless signal kicked in, the email whooshed away via a CIA monitoring station in the Eiffel tower and Jeremy managed to delete the original email to make space on his overflowing 120GB Hard Drive.

Apple certainly now how to make things different for la pomme lovers.
