Another New Addition…
Its no secret that I love Apple computers. For the last 1 1/2 years I’ve been faithfully using my 15 inch Macbook Pro, which has served me well. But last week Apple upped the ante by transforming their 13 inch offering into a Macbook Pro. I never owned a powerbook, but always figured it would have been sweet to have one of those fabled 12 inch models. Well this is the modern day equivilent.
The unibody degin was cool when it first came out, but the guts were esentially the same as before. Obviously I need a fairly powerful machine for perforing live with, and my 2.2 ghz MBP did that very well, but I have been wanting a smaller machine ever since I first bought my wife a 13 inch white macbook last year. Now i get the best of both worlds. At 2.26 ghz the entry level 13 inch MBP is actually faster than my current 15 incher. Firewire was brought back after a brief exile, which I love, and the non-removable battery shows crazy performance ungrades when compared with previous models.
I ordered one right way and let me tell you it is awesome. On day one I transfered all my stuff to the new one via time machine back up and cracked the case to install 4GB of Crucial ram. Apple still charges too much for ram, although the price isn’t as crazy as before, and I’ve always had good experiences with Crucial. Since then its been great.
I’ve even put the old one up on ebay. If you are in the market for a lovingly used 15 inch MBP, you can check it out here.
