If my memory serves me correctly (as they say on Iron Chef) I think it was about one year ago when I last considered buying a Mac notebook. I very much remember visiting my local Apple Store the night before a long business trip to Asia. But I decided to wait and left the Apple Store empty handed, without a PowerBook. And as it turns out, that was the right thing to do.
So with the transition to Intel in full swing over at Steveland, I figured now was the right time and returned to my local Apple Store. The difference this time is that I left with a 15-inch MacBook Pro in hand. And let me just say, I couldn’t be happier!
Aside from the 3rd degree burns I’m developing on my legs from the intense heat this thing pumps out, this is probably the nicest notebook I’ve ever used. The screen is gorgeous and the keyboard it perfect with just the right feedback. As I like to say, it’s high quality.
For those considering a MacBook Pro, try to find one built just recently. I have a week 17 build and have no issues! Of course, your mileage may vary, but I’ve read of some problems from machines built during weeks 1 through 16 in 2006. This whole week thing brings back fond memories of my MINI purchase
