Liquid Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 people stop posting in this thread until someone gets an MacBook, every time I see this on the front page it gets my hopes up thinking there might be Macbook pictures our pleasure :) I have one. Shall I post, negative. I will say, MagSafe isn't my favorite thing in the world.

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted February 22, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2006 I have one. Shall I post, negative. I will say, MagSafe isn't my favorite thing in the world. Whys this? Magnet not powerful enough? JR007: Yea its the perfect size, I mean i have a very small setup so I don't need much, but this is just perfect. And it also looks sweet, IMO, lol.

Liquid Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 what the hell you waiting for, post away...pictures preferred! I need a bit more time with it. My boss called, and was like, we got MacBooks in, if you want yours, come get it. I was like, uhh, ok. But im dead tired, my mom has my camera's chip and Im not in the mood to go find it. A bit ****ed at MagSafe though. Whys this? Magnet not powerful enough? No clue, i think its broken. My cat just rubs against the cord and it comes out. I will say, I am loving OSX. Photoshop is sort of slow in rossetta though, not bad. But man, native programs, sooooo fast. This 7200RPM Sata drive heats up though.

Liquid Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) Awesome. Now I discover my WiFi doesn't work with this thing. It's going back, or I'll give Apple a call in the morning. Be prepared future owners. Overall its amazing, but these two issues are unacceptable. I bet i won't get this thing back until march. $3,000 and im out of luck. Anyways the specs are as follow: MacBook Pro 15" 2.00GHz x1600 256MB 2GB DDR2 100GB 7200 RPM Sata I wanted 2.16, and I am hoping, because this thing is already broken, apple will upgrade me for free. Price: Too much.

mrogers Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 ^ Maybe if you're as big of a jerk to them as you are to some other people for their choice of music they'll upgrade you. :rolleyes: Go ahead and pray. Pray for appreciation of the arts, while you're at it. Very nice desk, MonkeyClaw. I've always kind of wanted glass but have never seen one I liked all that well (I don't care for the completely clear ones). Nice clean setup. Don't you have trouble seeing the laptop screen that far back though?

Knight' Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What's that ugly plastic doing at the hinge? I never noticed before.

Elliott Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What's that ugly plastic doing at the hinge? I never noticed before. Oh well, congrats on the purchase, that MBP will surely outperform my PB ;-) It's where the AirPort antenna is housed, I believe. It's not ugly at all in person.
