So two weeks ago, I ordered a 17" MacBook Pro (which I have dubbed the MacBookPri). I knew I wanted one but I had to wait until Apple upgraded them with the latest processors. As soon as that happened on April 13th, I made my move! This will replace my 5 year old Powerbook G4 "Mak", it served me well but its time has run out. Its even leagues beyond my Mac Pro, "Sherr", which is not so much a sherr anymore. I'm using the new laptop right now to write this post. I would have written the post sooner but things have been weird lately. The past 2 weeks, I was busy with work and hardly had a chance to play with it. And this week I'm sick with a sinus infection thats giving me a major headache. But I gotta pass the time somehow, so here it is.
The specs you ask? Why certainly:
2.66GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1066MHZ DDR3 SDRM - 2X2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200
Intel HD Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 512MB
SuperDrive 8X DL
MBP 17"HR Antiglare WS Display
iWork preinstalled
Built-in battery (8-9 hour)
I ordered it with an anti-glare display so that it doesn't reflect light so easily. Makes it easier to use outside, it cost me an extra $50 though. The 1920x1200 display makes it easier to develop for the iPad since the iPad simulator can now fit on the screen (768x1024). Another really cool feature is it can switch between the integrated Intel graphics chip and the discreet nVidia graphics automatically as needed. Saves battery power that way. And speaking of battery power, holy crap! It can go for about 8 hours under normal usage.
If I wasn't feeling so terrible I would take it to some coffee shop and do some coding. But that will have to wait until I feel better. Hard to code when all I can think about is my headache. Hopefully I'm better enough by tomorrow that I can go back to work, I hate missing days because I just end up having to work more to catch up anyway. Its not like school when sick days were awesome because you got to stay home and play games. I don't even feel like doing that right now.
Anyways, I leave you with this montage of photos.
