New MacBook Pro Review


Hello,

I bought a MacBook Pro two weeks ago. I have had a lot of fun. First and foremost the positives.

  1. The Speakers on this MacBook Pro are amazing. I can listen to all my music without attaching speeakers to it.
  2. I can play World of Warcraft on a Mac at full speed with x8 Anti-Aliasing.
  3. Did I mention its fast, very fast. I can stream NFL Sunday Ticket Games from DirectTV.
Now or the negatives.
  1. Single trackpad as a one-click mouse? It has taken a lot of getting used to.
  2. No FireWire 400, jut FireWire 800. I had to go out and buy a cable for my Video Camera.
  3. The Dispay port adapter? I have to wait until November 14th for a Displayport Monitor
Now let me say this, the last time I bought a Mac was in 2002. I was a student at UCLA and that G4 Titanium Powerbook was awesome and also had some features that were very new.

  1. A DVI Port. which didn't catch on but became the standard and replaced VGA in 2005.
  2. FireWire? At the time the only FireWire device I had was the original iPod.
I can only epxect the new MacbookPro to become a an example of things to come. I agree with Steve Jobs, Blu-ray is still a "Bag of Hurt." I can download Mad Men and Entourage on iTunes so I'm good.
