So a friend got the new Apple Mac...

I'm rather impressed. It's still not to my liking (I prefer tinkering ) and way out of the price range I'd expect... but for what others need, and with a nice GUI I understand the draw of it.

That's as far as it goes though.

I prefer to tinker with the car probably why I like the Mac.

Don't go over to the Dark Side Ben!

Seriously, I think the UI looks pretty boring and haven't been drawn back to the ones in the office except when I've had to in order to help a customer.

Oh, it's a magic mouse, which while having a great touch control, has 1 button and no scroll wheel (to make it 3 button). So it's still not to my requirements.
Nice hardware, but not for me. Which is still up from the my previous experiences at college that was poor hardware and not for me.

Well, college hardware was ok, but nothing special.
