Macbook pros
 

Ok, not bike related. But has anyone got one of the Intel macbook or macbook pro's? If so, what do you think of them, any problems, etc. I’m thinking of getting the 15inch macbook pro to replace my desktop at home.

Any opinions?

Cheers

My opinion is that a thread in Id'e Banter isn't supposed to be bike related so I think you're ok with this one... :lol:

;)

I think Kinesin has just got one try Pm'ing him he's not around on here much these days

sitting in front of one right now

erm...its well a mac

doesnt do anyhting worng, boots, works, excellent design.

just dont buy apple ram, buy the book and fit your own DDR2 667 SO-DIMMs

oh and then you HAVE to get the Macsaber application

I was thinking more of smackbook and paraells for XP work stuff.
Then OSX for everything I do. Surf, Music, Photos etc.

Seems fantastic. The only thing that puts me off is the price. But there are some at the refurb store now, so its not all bad...

Oh, and can I have my headlights back please.... :lol:

more importantly its not mine so this little shooty frenzy is costing me nothing

Are you not a *nix sys admin? I assumed from your name you were. Not that you cant sys admin from a lap top, just I find that I much prefer to do work on a proper key board, with a proper big monitor.

I suppose you can always keep the old monitor and keyboard and plug 'em in to the new box. 8)

Not a massive fan of Macs. They work though, better than MS, everyone seems to be using them in work now. (On the entire floor we have 1 MS machine now.)
