I no longer use Apple’s services after they changed (again and again) their policies regarding cloud storage, email management, or simply applications packaging/management (read, the infamous AppStore). I have a 100+ Go account on Dropbox, which I use for cloud storage and web sharing. I don’t have other personal machines at home, and I backup my Home directory on a Time Machine and critical documents on AWS with Arq. I also have an iPhone which I use to read and process incoming emails when I’m not in front of my computer, and more recently I got an iPad mini to read books I buy on O’Reilly shop. The fact that Apple raised screen resolution of all their 13″ laptops above 1024 x 768 was one of the main reasons I switched from a 15″ Macbook Pro to an Airbook, by the way. I have no external mouse, and I use Moom for windows management. Since Apple fullscreen capabilities just suck with dual monitor, I rarely plug a second monitor onto my Airbook, and keep working with the Airbook screen (1440 x 900 pixels). I only have 4 Go of RAM and most of the times that’s just enough. I didn’t even bother updating to the latest 10.7.5. I am working on a Macbook Air that I bought in 2010, and I stopped upgrading my OS at Lion. I try whenever possible to stick to basic text-based workflow and I don’t like complex UIs or applications that eat up all my RAM. I always enjoy reading The Setup from time to time.
