New Apple Macbook & Macbook Pro's

macpappy · 10-19-2008, 06:35 PM

Have a 2.1 GB dual processor Mac tower (last one before the switch to intel chips) and a MBP I bought last Apple. I'm good to go for now. Don't use firewire so won't miss it. When I need to do fast transfers between the MBP and the desktop I just plug in an ethernet cable.

I love my Macbook, though sometimes I miss having a dedicated GPU. Still, the size is perfect for school and doing research in the stacks.

I still don't really know how I feel about the lack of firewire on the Macbook. I use it for my external hard drive, but I could just as easily use USB. Still, I really like target disk mode. There are other ways to do essentially the same thing, but that way is just simpler.

Went and checked them out at the Apple Store while in CLE. They do look nice but I'm going to stick with my current MBP for now. Maybe in another year or so...

I want one BAD... Can't get the wife to part with the $$ though.

They did drop the prices on the different models by $100. But they also increased the size of the hard drives so that makes them even less expensive.

I got a newer MB in August, the black one...My one-upper of a roomate just got his new one in today. So far I am very happy with mine. I will give some thoughts about the new one when after I play with it later today.
