I Decided to Plunge Into the Deep End of the Mac World!

I bought myself a new iPhone 5s 64GB in Space Gray. My laptop is on the way out so I also decided to get the MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display. I have never used the Mac OS, so this will be a new experience for me. I did test out the OS in detail at Best Buy the other day. The reason I got the MBP was due to the fact of being back in school for a second bachelor's degree (this time in CIS). I was also looking for portability and long battery life.

My current laptop lasts for 1.5 hours when unplugged and gets extremely hot. The new MBP with awesome battery life (from what I have read in reviews) will be a welcome addition to my school life.

I will post reviews on both once I have used them over the Christmas break. My MBP should be here between December 18th to the 20th. Stay tuned for both of my reviews!

 

Thanks viewfly. Yes it is very nice. I am really liking the control center and the notification center has been improved. So far I do not miss widgets. To be fair, the only widget I used on my Galaxy S4 was for weather. Other than that, the reception is better on my 5s than it was on my S4. LTE and Wi-Fi speeds appear to be faster. The battery life is also good considering the smaller battery size. The iCloud syncing both my iPad and my iPhone's safari tabs is very cool. I will hopefully post a review this weekend.
