Yay! MacBook Pro!

I just got my brand new MacBook Pro (15", 2.4GHz, 4gb ram, etc). It’s the sexiest beast of a laptop ever created! ;D Love it.

I’m jealous.  :slight_smile:  I get mine once I sell my horse.

I’m not allowed to get a laptop because my dad’s afraid I’ll get mad at it and throw it across the room… [Shanthi, where’s the innocent Angel smiley?!]

I wouldn’t tho. A MacBook Pro? Please. I’d keep it nice and safe at all times! <3 MacBooks!

Lucky lucky Jason…

Congrats! :smiley:

I’m jealous too, I keep praying that my 3yr old Toshiba Satellite will die and I’ll have a reason to buy a Macbook-unfortnately it just won’t so I can’t justify buying one yet :frowning: ! lol

You’re selling your grey mare who is an ex-racehorse?

Yeah I love this thing. I FINALLY made the switch to Mac! I’ve been telling Shanthi I’ll get one for God knows how many years! :smiley: It’s amazing how fast these beast go from off to fully functional! No more stupid windows loading… :slight_smile: They seem really easy to use too. And with this new Boot Camp thing (and Leopard OSX in October) I can boot windows if I really want to play some windows only games. :slight_smile:

Shanthi… One question… With games that have been re-developed for Mac, do they run just as well as they would in Windows? Basically, what is better - a game done by say Aspyr for Mac, or the original done for Windows? (I wanna get a couple of games and I don’t know whether to get the Mac version or just boot Windows and get the Windows version).

No, I’m selling my bay mare who is an ex-racehorse.  :wink:

I’ve never run Boot Camp, so I’m not sure.  I would guess the versions made for the Mac would be better, though, as the hardware is streamlined for the OS X system.  If you already have games for windows, though, you may as well just keep them and run them in Boot Camp.  I’ve played several re-designed games on the Mac (Neverwinter Nights, mostly) on my little 800mhz iBook (before it died) and they ran just fine. :slight_smile:

I have a Toshiba Satellite too, but I’m quite fond of it.  ;D  I’ve heard that Macs are amaing, though I’ve never used one. Run a lot faster, and a lot more user friendly, I’ve heard? I guess the going from off to being ready to run without waiting for Windows to load is a good example of it moving faster… My mom wants a Mac someday, maybe I can talk to her about a MacBook Pro…  :wink:

The Mac pro is a great machine. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that Toshiba to drop dead. Now if you had a Sony or Gateway on the other hand you’d have a good chance :wink: All in all I’m just waiting to be able to watch the races here :wink: since I hooked up a desk top to my 42"TV ;D

I’m officially jealous.

I love my MacBook, but oh to have a MacBook Pro…

I  bought my MacBook last summer, after I picked up the IBM ThinkPad that was included in my college tuition. Two months of using that rotten no good piece of nonsense, and I couldn’t take it any more… I needed relief. The StinkPad’s long gone now (it died in about four different ways, and I gave it back, but I never really figured out how to make it work anyway) and I swear I’ll never touch another one of those things again. Ever.

LOL @ StinkPad! ;D

Yeah… I had to use one of those evil things at my last job. Never again I hope!

Yeah, I got my Toshiba as a “here, now go to college” present after HS graduation and I’m actually surprised at how reliable its been, especially considering the price. I haven’t had any problems besides user induced ones(like not having an anti-virus for 2yrs-yes I’m THAT stupid, caused me to have to do a clean install on it and now the thing is absolutely problem free…unfortunately-I thought I was SO close to having an excellent reason for a new computer). Anyway, it may be reliable but its not as cool as the MacBook Pro’s, GO JASE!
