I've been using a Macbook Pro now as my primary computer since September 2010, using snow leopard from the start and moving onto Lion as soon as it became available.
I'll briefly outline my thoughts on the move to the new operating system for those who haven' tried or are wondering if it is worth the move.
When you install or buy a new apple mac with Snow Leopard, there is a lot of hype about 64 bit computing. I made the assumption that I was running a full 64 bit operating system on my MacBook Pro 7,1.
There is always an awful lot of talk about how overpriced Apple's hardware is, I'd like to clear up some of those concerns.
I may be a little biased towards Mac hardware as I now use a 13" MacBook Pro as my main computer, however before this, I always custom built my own PCs, from my very first one, to my last.
As you may or may not know, I am a designer and developer working mainly with front-end UI or object oriented PHP.
My normal day to day tasks are writing html5, css3 and php, developing on a local server and then deploying through version control to dev, staging and production servers. One other critical point is using a graphics editing application / suite.
