No, I’m not a movie star (although with these looks I should be!). I’m now the proud owner of a big mac. That’s a 27-inch 3.5GHz iMac with Retina 5K display. It’s so big I can’t get my head around it.
I’m running it with the Mac operating system, which is a bit of a learning exercise for me. There are lots of good things about the Mac system and some very frustrating things. I miss some of the Windows things. I have set it up with “bootcamp” – which means I can start it up in the Mac environment or with my old Windows 7 system. Damn clever, eh!
Of course it has taken a week to transfer stuff and sort out the time machine backup system, as well as mess around with it. (I know now how to delete forwards! fn – delete).
The screen is brilliant for showing pictures and video. The included video and photo editing programs – iPhoto and iMovie – seem a bit limited, but I’ll give them a try.
A lot of stuff just works – camera, speakers, microphone etc – and skype is easy. So far so good.
