Your Mac Hardware Setup

[Liquid]

people stop posting in this thread until someone gets an MacBook, every time I see this on the front page it gets my hopes up thinking there might be Macbook pictures our pleasure :)

I have one. Shall I post, negative. I will say, MagSafe isn't my favorite thing in the world.

Whys this? Magnet not powerful enough?

JR007: Yea its the perfect size, I mean i have a very small setup so I don't need much, but this is just perfect. And it also looks sweet, IMO, lol.

I need a bit more time with it. My boss called, and was like, we got MacBooks in, if you want yours, come get it. I was like, uhh, ok. But im dead tired, my mom has my camera's chip and Im not in the mood to go find it. A bit ****ed at MagSafe though.

No clue, i think its broken. My cat just rubs against the cord and it comes out. I will say, I am loving OSX. Photoshop is sort of slow in rossetta though, not bad. But man, native programs, sooooo fast. This 7200RPM Sata drive heats up though.

Awesome. Now I discover my WiFi doesn't work with this thing. It's going back, or I'll give Apple a call in the morning. Be prepared future owners. Overall its amazing, but these two issues are unacceptable. I bet i won't get this thing back until march. $3,000 and im out of luck.

Anyways the specs are as follow:

MacBook Pro

15"

2.00GHz

x1600 256MB

2GB DDR2

100GB 7200 RPM Sata

I wanted 2.16, and I am hoping, because this thing is already broken, apple will upgrade me for free.

Price: Too much.

No one cares, get over it.

Anyways, I called Apple. They are replacing my MacBook with a new one, I prey for 2.16 upgrade.

[mrogers]

^ Maybe if you're as big of a jerk to them as you are to some other people for their choice of music they'll upgrade you. :rolleyes: Go ahead and pray. Pray for appreciation of the arts, while you're at it.

Very nice desk, MonkeyClaw. I've always kind of wanted glass but have never seen one I liked all that well (I don't care for the completely clear ones). Nice clean setup. Don't you have trouble seeing the laptop screen that far back though?

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

Thanks, its actually not that far away, though it looks farther in the picture...

Wow!

That's a slim box.

When I first glanced at it I thought it was for the 5G iPod. :rofl:

What's that ugly plastic doing at the hinge? I never noticed before. Oh well, congrats on the purchase, that MBP will surely outperform my PB ;-)

It's where the AirPort antenna is housed, I believe. It's not ugly at all in person.

it's my first time owning a mac :) so far so good. i'm more than satisfied with it. oh and for those wondering, battery life is about 3h15m.

^3 hour and 15 minutes...what were you running for that 3 hour and 15 minutes and screen brightness? Cause we know the screen can go as bring as a actual ACD...so...more detail..

But so far, 3 hours and 15 minutes...I might have to consider my purchase even more carefulyl now (since I get five out of my 15 inch PB)

hrm.... nothing intensive. i was configuring and surfing. the screen brightness is at default (about 80%?) five hours would've been nice... but i'm still happy with it since none of my previous PC laptops did more than 2h15m hehe.
