MacBook Pro: Follow up

Posted in Apple on March 31st, 2010 by Matthew Carlton

So I think its time to come back around and write a little more about my MacBook Pro purchase.  I’ve not been able to say this about any computer purchases I’ve ever made, but here it goes … I’m completely happy with this system.  I have one thing I don’t care for and it’s about the Magic Mouse and not the laptop.  The battery life of the Magic Mouse could be longer.  The screen is fabulous, Time Machine is great, I’ve organized all my pictures and music.  I can do anything on this system I could do on a Windows system, so I’m not held back trying to do work from it.

I’m completely happy with this Mac, it’s ironic considering my job.

A Glossy Happy New Laptop

Apple Mac Book Pro

Long have I thought about getting a laptop, anymore I don’t generally like being chained to one singular space … I like the idea of mobility.  One of the other ideas I like is the idea that things should be simple and easy to use.  Mind you I’m a Windows Server Team of Lead of six Windows Administrators, I’m not supposed to like Apple products or something to that nature.  I think they’re probably supposed to turn my hands green.

I did a lot of thinking, comparing, and waiting before I bought the Mac Book Pro (2.8Ghz Dual Core, 500GB Hard drive, 4GB of Memory, with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 512MB Video card).  I’ve had the laptop since Saturday evening, I didn’t turn it on until Sunday morning.  Since then I’m completely happy with this new setup.  I’ve only had one problem and that wasn’t the laptops fault, it was the sales guys for handing me the wrong DVI adapter for my external monitor.  That was exchanged today for the correct one.

I’ll be writing up something more in-depth very soon.

I is very happy with teh lappy.
