This is a problem for specific GIS and Remote Sensing software solutions in my science domain (and it remains the weakest point of the switch, although <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parallels.com\/\">Parallels<\/a> works as quick and nice as advertised). BUT to keep it\u00a0 simple: the hardware quality is just amazing and the Unix foundation of the Mac OS X shows &#8211; its just a rock solid system. After using plastic Notebooks for years the solid feeling of the full metal minimum tolerance body design of the MBP is a pleasure. To have a Unix terminal at hand whenever some shell scripting is needed is just great.\u00a0 Makes me feel like being back on a SOLARIS Unix system years ago writing my PhD &#8211; married with a fast graphical desktop surface\u00a0 OS X 10.6\u00a0 on top of the NEXT Unix core &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Darwin_%28Betriebssystem%29\">Darwin<\/a>&#8221; &#8211; the whole package seems to be well thought through.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am just starting to dig into the system secrets of OS X but some literally rough edges are obvious &#8211; and I guess\u00a0 Ill find more: the keyboard layout is just strange, the front body design features a sharp ridge that easily cuts through every pullover (form did not follow function here), there seems to be no fn-f5 or related to switch between beamer and monitor (no: cmd f1 or fn f7 doesnt work, nice try) and who the heck invented this mini-display port? &#8211; whenever I need a HDMI\/VGA\/DVI adapter I have the wrong one with me, Office2008 MAC is a bit slow and doesnt work reliable with Office 2007 files, uups?\u00a0 :).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">mtk<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">S.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PS: forgot: the <a href=\"http:\/\/soeren.zenfolio.com\/herbstregatta2010\">Jeton gallery <\/a>went online &#8211; some shots from the fall-regatta race organized by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sc-wannsee.de\/\">SC-Wannsee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-410\" title=\"smh-jeton-2066\" src=\"http:\/\/soerenhese.de\/sailpower-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/smh-jeton-2066.jpg\" alt=\"smh-jeton-2066\" width=\"510\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sailpower.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/smh-jeton-2066.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.sailpower.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/smh-jeton-2066-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waouu\u00a0 &#8211; I just have to leave something about the MacBook Pro here as a long time PC\/WIN\/Linux user: this is an amazing piece of computer technology.
