I’m a macuser now. I got my new macbook pro on monday.

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2×1GB
160GB Serial ATA Drive@5400rpm
SuperDrive 8X
15″ Glossy Widescreen Display
No Modem
No Optional S/W
BkLit Keyboard/Mac OS
Country Kit

I also got a bunch of other stuff to go with it. I’ll post a list of the accessories I purchased in the next post.

I’m loving it so far. Only four complaints:

  1. It charges way too slowly (Takes as long to charge as it does to discharge)
  2. It gets super hot (smcfancontroler partially fixes this)
  3. Battery life sucks (at least compared to my old 700m that I sold to Tyler)
  4. 3d performance isn’t the best (better than a lot of other stuff but not desktop replacement level)
