We're getting our CEO a MacBook Air.
Seriously.
A series of failures-at-the-most-inopportune-times by his HP laptop led to this decision. He wanted an iPad, but both my boss and I convinced him that it really wouldn't satisfy his requirements while he was on the road. He wanted something lightweight and easy to carry. (The HP is a brick.)
When my boss (who from previous comment I thought was an avowed Apple hater) suggested the Air it was all I could do to keep my jaw from dropping.
Since we really don't have the infrastructure in place to support Apple products (yet) and certain compatibility issues between OS X and our network exist (believe me, I've tried to resolve them), what we ultimately decided on was replacing his HP lapop with a new desktop and providing the Air to take on the road. With VPN and Remote Desktop, anything he can't do natively on the Mac will be available from his desktop.
Tom (my boss) has been asking me a lot about Apple lately, and admitted the other day that he thinks I'm turning him. Today after getting this plan squared away he said, "I guess I'd better buy one for myself now."
Nice work, but . . . Where's yours? You'll need a company Air too!
Once you go Mac, you never go back! (sorry, I know this one was easy, but I could not resist)
