MacBook Pro

And there was much rejoicing heard throughout the land.

My new laptop arrived this morning! I’ve got more pictures to post, and a more in-depth report of Photoshop running under Rosetta coming soon. For now, after using my old PowerBook G4 for almost 4 years, the MacBook Pro is FAST. Very Fast. iPhoto is smooth and silky. Photoshop 7 running under Rosetta performs noticeably faster than Photoshop 7 running native on the 800mhz G4. Much faster than I had imagined.

  • The backlight is definitely different on this machine than on their previous laptops. It's almost like there's some type of reflective panel back there, because as you move your head or tilt the screen, the brightness kind of rolls along with the tilt. So I think that brightness increase at the base has to do with the angle you look at the screen.

    Battery life is running just over 3 hours according to the battery menu. I haven't done a full battery calibration yet, as outlined in the manual, however.

    Heat hasn't been an issue, yet. I haven't had a chance to get into anything processor or graphics intensive, though, either. So we shall see.
  • Does yours have the irregular backlighting that others have been complaining about? It looks like it from the photo as there is a noticeable increase in brightness at the base of your screen, but I am not sure.

    Have you tried out the battery life yet? How is the heat?
  • ooh. shiny...

    About time.
