Yay! I got it! I got the Macbook Pro!!!!!!!
To be more specific, I got the baseline 15-inch, 2.2 GHz, $1,999 Macbook Pro with a 120 GB hard drive, 2 GBs of RAM, and a 1440×900 resolution. Niiiiiice. Oh, and with Front Row, iLife ‘06, a backlit keyboard, a SuperDrive, a built-in microphone and a built-in iSight webcam. (Which took the photo above)
I got it last night 2 days early because I found out that there was a shortage on the model because of the new LED displays. The 5th avenue apple store was sold out, but the Soho one had “limited stock.” Limited stuff runs out quick, so my parents were nice enough to go down and buy one and eat dinner down in Soho at Arturos.
And, obviously, they weren’t sold out. But if they were it may have been another week until it got delivered after ordering it online or back in stock at one of the retail stores.
Anywho - I have it now! I’ve only used it for about 4 hours as of now, but the LED (non-glossy) screen is excellent, and the casing is awesome. And I’m already starting to get used to the Mac stuff like the apple key instead of control, ejecting hard drives, etc.
More later!
Wooo hooo!
Congrats! will you bring it with you when you visit? Beware, you won’t be able to connect on the GP’s wifi because they use aol network authentication. but you probably knew that from previous visits.
I guess you could install the aol client on the macbook, but wouldn’t that be like loading a racecar on the back of a horsedrawn flatbed in order to go for a drive?
I have considered getting an OS X machine, but I’ve got too much invested in PC software, like MS Office, photoshop, premiere, dreamweaver, noteworthy, cooledit pro, replay.
UB,
Good for you!
Congratulations Austen!
Hope that you enjoy your new computer, someone passionate about technology like you should have a nice computer like this.
