A quick follow-up to my previous post about buying a macbook pro primarily to run windows. I’m happy to say that after a week of intense frustration at repeated crashes, I now have an extremely stable system. Installation issues aside, this is unquestionably the best Windows laptop I’ve ever used:
- The apple keyboard is great, even if it is missing a number of keys. It feels nice. It’s lighted. It’s quiet.
- The LED-backlit screen is amazing. It’s as bright as a desktop monitor. It is so bright, in fact, that I have to turn it down to avoid eyestrain. Even sitting with my back to a window–as I am right now in a tea bar–it is easy to read at the middle brightness setting.
- The battery life is amazing.
- Going from sleep-to-wake by opening the lid is nearly instantaneous.
It is just a shame that Apple doesn’t do more to improve the Windows installation experience.
