Wow, rocking machine! I hope you enjoy it!

So far I'm loving it. Got it all set up and transferred over my iTunes library and got my phone and iPad synced up with it. Started going through the Mac software thread to get some of the things I need to really start enjoying it.

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 :)

    • Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.
    • You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
