my Mac and PC laptops
I have two laptops. I have an HP nc8230 and a MacBook Pro core duo. Both machines have 2 GB of RAM and perform pretty much the same. The obvious difference, of course, is that one runs Mac and one runs Windows. No surprise. The PC laptop has one small glitch that really bugs me and stands as a testament to why I’d prefer to use the Mac, given the choice: the volume controls.
For some reason the volume buttons on the PC laptop just stop working over time in a Windows session. Who knows why but after a period of time they no longer function. This seems par for the course in Windows. Things stop working now and then.
This isn’t to be expected on a Mac. I can’t think of the last time I was truly let down by hardware not working on my Mac due to some sort of software problem.
