My 16.2-inch MacBook Pro—Apple M1 Max chip with 10-core CPU and 32-core GPU; 32GB unified memory; 1TB SSD—is gone. This morning, an associate professor and his wife purchased the laptop, which will become her go-to machine for video production. The monster machine will be missed.
On Christmas, parents bought my wife’s 13.3-inch MBP for their college student son. Same day, our daughter inherited my iPhone 13 Pro. Samsung gave great trade-in amount for Annie’s smartphone. She and I now own the Galaxy S22 and S22 Ultra, respectively.
My MacBook Pro’s battery won’t charge anymore. There’s a mysterious “X” on the battery meter and the moment the power plug disconnects, the machine shuts down. /fail
The infrared receiver has gone from a circle on the left to a narrow strip on the right, presumably to emphasize the thinness of the body. The sleep indicator is no longer easily visible when its white LED is off, which allows it to visually disappear when it's not needed.
All ports have been moved to one side, with the slot-loading optical drive on the other end. This slightly disrupts the large-to-small sequence of ports because the Magsafe power port remains north of the larger Ethernet jack for convenience, and because the smaller DisplayPort has replaced the full DVI port. The formerly gray rubber at the center of the hinge is now black, ending years of the fully silver exterior on the Powerbook/Macbook Pro line.
I was a Windows user.
I was a Windows programer
I was assimilated...but resistance was not futile.
My Windows PC is having problems.
I won't get another PC
I WON'T "upgrade" to Vista.
So, I finally made enough money to buy
MY FIRST MAC!
LOVE IT!
I can't believe how much better my pictures look. I can't believe how nice it is to use an OS that WORKS instead of one I have to constantly battle and fix.
I'm a Mac guy now. I'll start dressing the part :)
Been a Mac user since 2003, but am suitably impressed with Windows 7. I was part of the extensive beta test that Microsoft ran over the last several months, and was more than happy enough to follow up with a superbly priced pre-order.
7 isn't revolutionary, and there's no way it's going to become my OS of choice over OS X. However, one of my biggest bugbears about life within Windows - the infernal taskbar - has been supremely improved with the new one in 7, which is similar to OS X's dock but in my view feels superior.
It is still Windows, and I still feel that non-gaming home users should give a Mac a go, but for PC users running Vista, or with a newish computer running XP, I urge you to give 7 a try. It is refined, it feels like it was designed with care, and is the antithesis of everything I hated about Microsoft at its height of arrogance, which was exemplified with the catastrophic Windows ME.
Installs and runs like a dream on my Early 2008 MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM, incidentally. :)
My Macbook Pro 15" in a way I've always wanted to photograph it, couple of days after I got my first DSLR!
I really need to start making money with these computers in order justify the inordinate amount of money they cost.
