A Windows User's Journey: Trying Out the New MacBook

In an attempt to challenge his preconceived notions and give the Mac operating system a fair chance, Lee Morris, a proud Windows user and self-professed Mac OS hater, has embarked on a personal experiment. As documented in a series of videos by Fstoppers channel, Lee will exclusively switch to a Mac ecosystem for the next couple of weeks. Will he be able to make the transition or will frustration get the better of him? Let's find out.

In the first video of the series, Lee recounts his initial impressions of the brand new MacBook. Initially hesitant due to the laptop's design, which seemed thicker and bulkier compared to its predecessor, Lee's opinion shifted when he got his hands on it. The MacBook's robust build quality and elegant design exceeded his expectations.

One standout feature for Lee was the MacBook's instant power-on capability, akin to an iPhone or an iPad. Gone are the days of waiting for a Windows PC to boot up; with the MacBook, all it takes is pressing a button and it's ready to go. The addition of a fingerprint reader for speedy logins further impressed Lee, making the whole experience far superior to any computer he had previously used.

Lee also showered praise on the MacBook's keyboard, considering it the best he has ever used. The tactile feedback and overall feel surpassed any standalone keyboard he had encountered. However, he did find certain layout aspects frustrating, such as the placement of certain keys and the absence of a dedicated delete button. Adjusting to these differences may take some time, but Lee remains optimistic about adapting to the new layout.

Moreover, the MacBook's speakers left Lee in awe. Accustomed to the disappointing audio quality of typical laptop speakers, he was taken aback by the MacBook's audio performance. Lee even described them as "breaking the laws of physics," unsure of how such remarkable sound could emit from a laptop. With this unexpected speaker quality, he found himself actually enjoying content on the MacBook.

Follow Lee's journey as he delves deeper into the Mac ecosystem, documenting his experiences and testing docks and dongles in future videos. Stay tuned to further explore whether his switch from a custom-built Windows PC to a Mac laptop proves successful.
