MacBook Pro Update
1. A few points about my MacBook Pro:
Hooooooot. And that’s hot, not hoot. I’ve read some people bitching that the MagSafe power connecter blows because you knock it and it comes off (duh!), but no one ever mentions that the computer would cook your knees if you had it charging on your lap.
It’s faaaast. That’s a hoot. I put another 512mb RAM in mine (bringing it up to a total of 1Gb) and it’s snappy. And fast. Wow.
That. Screen. Damn, it’s a nice screen. Hurt-your-eyes bright, no dead pixels, crystal clear.
A few nice touches that I didn’t have on my old PowerBook: there are two volume settings, one for internal speakers and another for headphones, which is nice considering how many times I’ve had my ears blasted because I’ve got the speakers cranked and plugged some headphones in. And it no longer burns your palms when typing like my old PowerBook did, so ventilation under the front part of the laptop (by that I mean the part closest to you when you’re using it) has been improved dramatically.
Few things I’m not liking: the Superdrive is slow. It’s less super, more like an okdrive. I know they couldn’t fit the faster drive because it’s 12mm thick rather than 9mm think like this is, but I’d still like a faster drive. This drive also seems a bit twitchy, a couple of DVDs have turned coaster because of some unknown reason. And, lastly, there seems to be an issue with copying from one firewire drive to another firewire drive; for some reason it copies really slowly, but if I turn one of the processor cores off it copies normally. I have yet to really dig into this, I don’t know if this is an Apple bug or whether I’m doing something weird.
Photo Booth is the best program evar. Seriously, there’s nothing funnier than a bunch of pissed guys making stupid faces in front of this program.
