Absolutely perfect for a portable PC and does everything I need. Should be good for years to come and goes well with a decent Windows desktop. Might change to an Air when it needs to be updated, but don'y know if I can go without some of the features. But as I said, I expect this laptop to last a long while.

Yesterday I purchased my first Mac:

13" MacBook Pro (Early 2011)

2.7GHz Core i7

4Gb DDR3 1333MHz

500Gb HDD

Intel HD3000 integrated graphics

Snow Leopard

I don't think I have ever been more excited to receive a delivery :D

So many of my CompSci lecturers use Macs, as do a couple of my friends - so I decided to see what all the fuss is about. Something tells me I won't be disappointed. With education pricing I saved a huge amount on AppleCare and the machine itself. Very happy :)

I know it's interesting to show off you're already running Mac OS X Lion, but do you really think it's a wise idea to publicly post your MacBook Pro's serial number like that? :whistle:

Thanks .Neo!

Changed :)

Primarily a Windows PC user these days but do still have a Mac kicking around - switched over to it for a few weeks whilst I get my PC power supply RMA'd with OCZ. Spec is:

PowerMac Dual G5 2GHz

5GB RAM

160GB Seagate 7200RPM HDD

Radeon 9800Pro

Running Leopard 10.5.8..

It's kind of funny how slow this thing actually is given the meaty sounding specs - the fans spin up quite often to cool it, even though you're doing quite light / non-intensive tasks. But it's this or my little NetBook with only 1GB of RAM - so I think this is a better bet for now :)

    • I disagree here sorry. The majority of their customers are corporations who are locked in to their eco system and have no choice. Private individuals don't contribute that much to their income.
    • Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9. Hopping up a step to the $12 tier gets you TR-49, Expelled, and A Highland Song for paying at least $12. If you go for the $20 tier, you get four e-books from the Heaven's Vault series. The bundle has almost three weeks on its counter before it goes away.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
