My new MacBook Pro is great. It delivers what I wanted: a computer as (actually more) powerful than my iMac yet portable. These are my thoughts:
The good:
- It’s portable
- It’s got much more memory and a faster processor than my old iMac.
- With 10.6 it has a noticeable decrease in boot time. 10.6 also adds a few useful features.
- Keyboard is great to type on, the illumination is a very cool feature.
- Trackpad is just amazing. Much better than any trackpad I’ve ever used before; It’s smoother, bigger and generally more responsive. The buttons (aka the whole trackpad) are also fantastic to use with good audible feedback and depth when you push them.
The bad:
- The screen seems to make the colours far too bright – I need to look into seeing if you can change this.
The ugly:
- I keep using both my left and right hand on the trackpad simultaneous causing the pinch gesture to be called. Left hand stay away!
