That, coupled with the intuitiveness of the OS, means I can probably expect my productivity to improve over time. And, unlike the PC, everything actually seems to work on this machine.

Word and PowerPoint are different for the Mac, so it's just like learning a new release of Office.įrom an overall productivity standpoint, after a week without any tutorials, I'd say I'm just about on par with where I was on the PC.

Some control-key functions on the PC use the Mac's command key, and it's not the same for all apps.

I learned that fn-delete performs the PC delete function, but that's an unnatural, two-hand motion that slows me down.

The delete key on this keyboard is actually a backspace key.

For a writer / consultant who relies heavily on Word and PowerPoint, the hardest things to get used to are:.

The biggest problem by far is the Flash battery drain Adobe says they're working on it. Also, I'm not sure where my email archives ended up after the transfer, but I haven't looked too hard, so I'm sure they're around here somewhere. There was a problem getting gmail POP to work, but a trip to the Apple store and some debugging took care of that.

Of course there have been a few issues.

The same goes for this Air - web pages load really fast.

When I bought my wife's MacBook Pro a couple of years ago, I noticed that Safari was way faster on her Mac than IE was on my high-end, high-priced Sony.

The only problem is that I keep accidentally doing a secondary click (lower right corner), so I'll have to play with that setting a bit to get comfortable with it. I'm still getting used to it, but it's pretty amazing stuff.

The new trackpad does all the same stuff you can do with an iPhone and iPad touchscreen like swiping, scrolling, and pinching.

Now I can finally check that off the list.

Next to long battery life, the one thing that's been on my notebook wish list for years is a display that's really bright outdoors, even in direct sunlight.

So I can pretty much work all day without plugging in. So I installed the QuickToFlash extension - which lets you choose when you want to load Flash - and now I'm getting about 7 hours running a bunch of apps, including Microsoft Word, outdoors with the brightness at about three quarters. The battery life was a mystery until I did some poking around and found that Adobe Flash was sucking two to three hours out of every charge.Not to sound like some star-struck Apple fan boy, it would be disingenuous and idiotic to gloss over the most important facts: This is the lightest, thinnest, brightest, quietest (no disk drive and no fans I can hear), coolest (meaning it doesn't get hot, even in the sun), 13" notebook I've ever had.I'm not exactly sure where all my user files are, but I always manage to find the right folder for the right application and, once I do, it always seems to show up from then on.

Since I have limited Mac experience, I can't compare the new Lion OS to prior versions of Mac OS or to an iPad.

For example, my Outlook email, calendar, and contacts were all up and running on Apple Mail, iCal, and Address Book right out of the gate.

The Migration Assistant - that I think launched with the new Lion OS - seamlessly transfers all your files, user accounts, network and printer settings, preferences, internet favorites, pretty much everything, and translates them to the proper apps and utilities on the Mac.

Also, the two platforms are more similar than different.

The simplicity and intuitiveness of Apple's software and design, along with the new Migration Assistant you'll hear about it a minute, made the setup and transition ridiculously easy.Here are the highlights of my big switch from PC to the new MacBook Air: Sure, there have been a few challenges, like some glitches with the new OS and figuring out that Adobe Flash was sucking 30% if my battery life, but overall, the experience has been a lot like that time in summer camp. I set it up, transferred everything over from the PC, and 48 hours later, posted my first non-PC generated piece of work in 25 years: Why Getting Fired Can Be the Best Thing For You.

Three days later, the FedEx guy delivered my three-pound baby, all the way from Shanghai.
