Mac Book Pro Arrived!

[Gordy]

Just picked up my macbookpro up, I orginally ordered a 1.67ghz mbp, which got upgraded to the 1.83ghz model, but when I went into my local mac reseller to upgrade the ram on my girlfriends mini. They told me they had finally recieved some MBP's and mainly the 2.0ghz ones. After about 10seconds I changed my order to the 2ghz version

It decided to absolutly chuck it down as I left the store and I was very happy I decided to carry it in the external box as I got soaked by the cars waiting to cross the road!

Anyway onto the pictures













First impressions are good, it's much easier to see everything than on my old 12in powerbook and its very quick to boot up. I still need to sling in my extra stick of ram but I will do that later.

If you want more pictures I have a whole heap more in my gallery:

the keyboard looks a little cramped.. how does it perform?

[Koolpc]

Very nice but how many pc's do you have now mate? lol

[TheVoice]

Looks very cool mate, nice.

Bit of an OT question: Where did you get that Olive-coloured carry case thing (I assume it's for the notebook)? Been looking for something similar to that for when I get a notebook soon, and it looks really nice.

Thanks.

The keyboard is full sized, best laptop one I've used as well.

Erm 7 I think hehe.

2 are my girlfriends (1new , 1 old one going to be sold) , another 2 are prototypes. I've then got a file server and main rig and my laptop.

Gee, quite a few pc's there mate!! Nice one.

Nice mate. Always thought about getting a Laptop but never needed one really. Maybe I'll get a MACBook one day

We will need a full review regarding how fast it is!

[Gordy]

Its fast.

Its takes no time to load safari at all , everything else seems quick.

Just managed to crash it tho 3 times in a row trying to delete some thumbs.db files. That said its the most polite blue (well black ) screen I've ever seen. hehe

I will post a pic when I get back home.

It gets damn hot on the base but the fan has only come on once since 9am so thats not surprising hehe.

[Lowe]

You're either very brave, or very stupid mate

First revision Apple product?

Oof!

[Gordy]

All revisions have problems infact the rev e powerbooks had more problems than any other rev so I wasn't bothered tbh.
