MBP. Finally.

[asdf_admin]

I finally forked over the load, and bought myself the new MBPs. I got the 15 after people telling me 17 is just a joke to carry around. I got the 2.4 ghz, 4 gigs of ram, and 160 HD.

This things screams. I can not hear a damn thing from this machine. It is ever so silent.

I also bought the CS3 Premium. I really have pushed this machine to the limits. Simply amazing what a well written OS can do. I am awaiting Leopard to convert from 32 to 64.

The conversion over from Windows to OSX is amazing. I have not had a single issue with any software, driver, etc. I running wireless net, bluetooth mouse, and 1 tera of external from WD. If you can, jump ship the grass is truly greener.

I love Apple. I am a fanboy.

Re: MBP. Finally.

I'm waiting for Leopard to come out before I jump shit, but it's tough to resist the temptation to buy one right now. I'm extremely jealous...

Re: MBP. Finally.

The most beautiful machine ever.

Funny, my wife was uber nice to me when I bought it. She was " like " really really nice. I asked her why she was being so kind to me ? ... she replied "because there is another lady in the house, I have competition " ...

Re: MBP. Finally.

did you get matte or glossy? I just picked up the 2.4 glossy to replace my aging powerbook, it's a dream!

Does anyone know if the glossy ones have a tendency to reflect/glare? I remember being on a plane once with a screen on an HP laptop that had so much glare I couldn't see the screen through the image of myself. Is that a "glossy" screen?

Re: MBP. Finally.

it's not that bad... people complain too much I think, I think that the brightness of the display counteracts any reflections.

Re: MBP. Finally.

I have a feeling that Apple would have put more effort into making sure that sort of thing wasn't an issue, too. Attention to detail is, IMO, what really separates Apple products from other consumer electronics.

Re: MBP. Finally.

I got the matte. The glossy is insane with glare. Plus I really like the feel of matte.

The best is to go inside an Apple store and look at both. Glossy would work fine if you have a good location, but otherwise you will look like a dear in head lights, or at least I felt that way. The blacks are super rich with the glossy.

Re: MBP. Finally.

I loooooooooooooooooove my glossy. But I am glad you looooooooooooooove your matte.
