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 :)

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
