Well it looks like I am a MacBook Pro.. So I heard about the new models and had to hit the Apple store the next day to get a warranty plug for my iPhone. At first I thought that the pricing was a bit high for what you were getting out of these new models but I got caught up in the hype and ended up leaving the store with one of these models.
I had been hoping to replace my Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro and this one looked perfect. The LED backlit screen won me over. The color seems to pop a bit more and seem overall more accurate than my old laptop. I had been editing my images on my PC but I think I am going to switch to my new Mac now.
Two things that are a bit dissapointing to me at the moment.
1. The screen hinge is weaker than the old laptops. When laying in bed the screen wants to drop closed at certain angles. Not someting that is a full deal breaker but certainly something that they should tighten up a bit.
2. The nVidia graphics chips are great but when scrolling quickly I see some tearing which with some research seems to be a bad driver issue. I have heard that this is not happening in Windows running on one of these machines.
Overall I am pretty happy with the new unit. The Keyboard feels nice and the touchpad is better than I had first thought. If I get some more time over the next few weeks I will try and post some comments as I get more time with the machine. This is the first Mac Laptop that I have gotten on the first sales day so that was somewhat exciting.
