April 2016In 2010 I left IBM and I started as a freelancer. I needed a new computer. A friend of mine had a MacBook Pro. He has always been an excellent ITer so I decided to follow his advise and give Mac a try. I bought a MacBook Pro. The best one. The most expensive one. Was it a better experience than Windows ? Not really. My Mac’s performance decreased with time just like it would with a windows PC. I even had regression: very annoying crashes due to the GPU switches. I has to install freeware (GfxCardStatus – https://gfx.io/) to be able to use my mac. When the MacBook pro disk gets full the performance gets really very bad making the computer unusable. At the store they told me the only solution was to format and re-install… Last week I decided to re-install the OS from the original CD. I really hesitated to try Ubuntu on MacBook Pro. Before I upgraded to “El Captain” I checked if my GPU problem was still there and in fact it had disappeared ! I could connect to an external display which was impossible since years… So I decided to report to Apple. Here is what I sent to Apple as a comment to the crash report:

In 2010 I had also bought an iPad 1. The hardware is still ok but it has also become unusable : impossible to update most of the apps. Bye bye Apple.… In 2010 I left IBM and I started as a freelancer. I needed a new computer. A friend of mine had a MacBook Pro.
