Advice for new MacBook owners

Barry Campbell at Knowledge Work has an excellent article for new MacBook owners.

"From the time I broke the seal on the box and unpacked the cute little beast, I was up and running in about ten minutes… the first clue that I was in for an experience that was very, very different from my last ten years in the Wintel Wilderness.

"That being said, if you are of the geekly inclination, you’re going to want to make some additional tweaks and purchases to optimize your Mac-using experience, especially if you have to continue to collaborate with colleagues who are tethered to their Windows machines. So with that in mind, here’s what I’ve learned in the first month of owning a new Intel-based Mac and fitting it out so that I can still work with my Windows peeps."

Not a review of the MacBook itself but some useful information and advice about AppleCare, insurance, extra RAM, writing and productivity tools, BootCamp and Parallels, basic utitilites to buy and some great free stuff. A good read!
