After I had decided to get a Mac, I thought that it’d be best to wait for the release of Leopard before making the switch. Unfortunately, as we all know there have been a slew of delays in Leopard’s release due to Apple prioritizing development of the iPhone. When it was finally released, Apple’s upgrades on the MacBook to the X3100 gfx and CPU upgrade was the tipping point in purchasing my first Mac. And because Vista sux.

MacBook Box

The MacBook comes in a slimmer box with the Leopard desktop background depicted on the screen.

MacBook Peripherals

Regular peripherals which come with the MacBook. Nothing's changed here.



MacBook Keyboard

The keyboard has been updated to change the functions of the F keys in line with Apple's recent aluminum keyboard. The second enter key and numpad have been removed from the keyboard as well.

This blog has been created for new Mac users such as myself, and for existing Mac users, as a reference point for tips, tweaks, and tutorials. Being a long time Windows user, I also wish for this site to be the resource defectors switchers turn to when trying to figure out how to do their common Windows tasks on their new Macs. Since I’m a new Mac user myself, I will be writing articles as I learn them. I will also enjoy chronicling all of the cool applications that I can use. ;)

The name macBound is a camel case dionym. Bound for Macs in other words, or bound to Macs if that’s the way you see it. This connotes that this site is suited for both prospective/new and experienced users.

I hope that this website will encourage the use of Windows alternatives (particularly Macs) and will one day become a big and seasoned community.
