So, your shiny new MacBook is here? It’s not the fastest laptop out there, so yeah obviously you plan to use it as a netbook mostly, with dedicated apps, unlike that guy next cubicle’s HP Mini you’ve been quietly eyeing for a while now, which is a browser ninja, at best.
So here’s a list of the to die for apps for a light weight contender Mac.

I happen to use all these on my MacBook as well. Wouldn’t recommend something I wouldn’t use, so yeah lets get ahead, with these apps, and their individual features.

1. Firefox – Love safari? Me too, too bad it’s not useable for anything beyond casual surfing. Don’t worry, there’s firefox available for your Mac, if you already were not aware. With the plethora of extensions available, this is the must have browser, for your net.. err.. macbook.

2. Adium – iChat is a joke. Get this swiss army knife of IM’ing on Mac. Get it, already.

3. Postbox – For some reason, Apple’s default Mail client, incidentally titled as Mail itself, and referred to as Mail.app, has stopped working for me in a week or two, with over a dozen of issues it has with my Pop 3 account. Postbox is the best alternative, that was released recently and hailed all over by the Mac community.

It’s a polished version of Mozilla’s very popular mail client titled Thunderbird. Thunderbird isn’t that bad either, and just in case you want to get your hands on it, here’s it.

4. Times – Times isn’t essentially the missing RSS reader for Mac, because that would be NetNewsWire (NNW). But Times really gels with the whole Mac culture, a very simple and minimal layout make sure, you’re ready to hit it off. And don’t forget those tech feeds that come pre-installed. It’s lovely I tell you. The $30 price tag is justified or not is a matter of great discussion, and for the doubtful, there’s always Newsfire.

5. Blogo – If Apple ever decided to make a blogging client, this be it. Blogo works perfectly with WordPress 2.9. That’s what you’re going to use it anyway. No? It works with Blogger and TypePad as well, among others. With image editing capabilities, and a unified interface, it scores over MarsEdit, and murders Ecto. It’s one app that’s worth its price tag to the T, $25.

6. Disco

7. Namely

8. Transmission

9. Virtual Box

10. iArchiver
