I’ve experienced Mac kernel panic for the first time this morning. Remember BSOD (blue screen of the death)? A very famous error message screen on windows OS. Kernel panic is windows BOSD similar on Mac.

I’m not sure why this happen, but since I tried to test my MacBook with a lot of benchmark tools, installing many apps and configure almost all of the preference I came with one reasonable explain. Mac also still a program right, I believed every programs which ever made must have even a bug. Nothing’s perfect bro’

Here is Mac official explanation about kernel panic :

"UNIX-style operating systems (such as Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, AIX, and A/UX) may experience a type of error called a "kernel panic," which may provide information useful for software developers.

A kernel panic is a type of error that occurs when the core (kernel) of an operating system receives an instruction in an unexpected format, or that it fails to handle properly. A kernel panic may also follow when the operating system is not able to recover from a different type of error. A kernel panic can be caused by damaged or incompatible software or, more rarely, damaged or incompatible hardware."

When you experienced this usually you get an error prompt in a box in the middle of your screen with several languages that told you need to do a force system reboot by hold down the power button.

Yup, I need to change my old Lenovo with dual boot Windows and Fedora since a it’s shows me symptoms that it will be dead soon . So after hunting and calculating my bugdet I put my choice on new aluminum MacBook 2.0Ghz.

Worthed?? After tried to install hackintosh on my lenovo few months ago I realize why people use mac, coz’ it absolutely awesome. You’ll get windows easy use and unix powerful feature plus many things beyond of that also. 2.0Ghz Intel processor with 3MB L2 cache combined with 2GB DDR3 memory really shows good performance. Multitasking with so many apps plus VMware running Solaris seems like to easy to handle with mac, robust performance. So, its more than worthed I think .

Many people complaint about new macbook glossy screen comparing to the old matte screen on MBP. But since I only use it on indoor usage seems the glossy screen still fit for me. No firewire and express card slot was greatly substituted by the new trackpad, you must try it. The new trackpad increase your productivity, I experienced it very well. I throw out my old n’ expensive microsoft wireless mouse and not even think to buy mighty mouse (but maybe razers still fine ).

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M in new macbook also give far more better graphic performance experienced than older macbook. Playing mac native games or windows games using crossover shows more frame rate and smooth graphics. No more lag or glitches when playing games or scroll big resolution images.

Last thing that why I choose mac is coz’ GP works here dude
