New Macbook Pro laptop

Macbook Pro

I've done it. The desktop is on the way of the dinosaur. Large and still thrilling. But too big to survive in today's world. I had to get a better laptop. My ghettotop wasn't cutting it anymore. Having a desktop is great when you need to sit at a desk. But having to sit at a desk when you need to work is not so great.

So what kind of laptop did I get?

I got a really sweet deal on a new Macbook Pro (MB470LL/A).

It came with just 2GB of ram but I can easily upgrade that when needed. I'm doing a lot more coding now and less graphics work, so I think I'll be fine with just the 2GB. Hah!, "just the 2GB." And it's DDR3 RAM. Nice.

The screen is 15.4 inches. I thought about getting the 17 inch but frankly didn't want to shell out the cash. Besides, I want it to be as portable as possible. If I need a bigger screen at home, I'll have a reason to buy big one .

The hard drive is only the 5400 speed but like I said, I'm not doing a lot of graphics work. And it's 250 GB, large enough and I already have an external drive. Oh yeh, and it has the SuperDrive for burning.

All I need now is a wireless mighty mouse. I wasn't impressed with the docking station options I found. The word monstrosity comes to mind. The Apple Cinema Display would be nice! But I think I'll find my 15.4 inch screen very comfy. Yeh.
