I've tried the 11-inch MacBook Air the other day and really felt that the screen was claustrophobically small. The design is amazing though.

I thought I might run into the same thing when I got my 11" MacBook Air a few days ago, but full-screen mode and Mission Control really make the 11" work beautifully.

Love that wallpaper, where did you get it?

Yeah, the fullscreen apps are perfect for the 11". I'm usually working from the Air attached to an external display so the size isn't much of an issue.

Even so, you're still stuck to one window at the time and it doesn't do that much to improve overall content being displayed.

One window at a time on a screen that size makes complete sense, and it's still properly multitasking. It literally takes me half a second to swap over my Safari space and test what I've been developing in Sublime Text.

Nice! I'm more of a "two extremes" kind of guy (27" iMac and 11" MBA), but I might switch back to one 15" MBP some day.

I think it's pretty understandable: At home I want a blazing fast machine with a big screen on which I can do pretty much anything and on-the-go I want something ultra-portable for simple tasks. So in my case a combination of a 27-inch iMac and an iPad 2 is perfect. (Y) Personally I find the MacBook Pro (any model) way too bulky to carry around all the time. Not to mention I don't really feel like managing two systems since I'm lazy. :laugh:

My setup has changed to an almost all mac setup without me realising lol. Started with the iPhone 3G, then the iPhone 4, added to that was the Apple TV and iPad 2 and I got my new 2011 27" iMac last week. I'll upload a picture of my setup sometime tonight if I remember! Decorated my bedroom a few weeks back so it looks fresh, jsut waiting on new carpet and furniture :)

I've recently made the which from PC to Mac and got myself a... 13.3" MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5 2.3Ghz, 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz, 320GB HDD.

I love this machine - it's absolutely stunning! It's also extremely fast and Lion boots up in no time.

I'd take a photo, but it's just a standard MBP.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

      This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
