I did it! Wasn't easy, truly wasn't. I now have a Mac Book Pro with a dual core processor. I could have simply gotten the Macbook for $40.00 less, but I felt the difference was worth it for the Aluminum unibody if no other reason at all.
Since the new Pros came out with the i5 and i7 processors the older ones have really come down in price, which I took advantage of....
I have been told by endless mac users about how easy the mac is to setup etc, well I really don't see any difference. I had to patch the OS just like windows, and I'm having to install office just like windows. There really isn't a whole lot of difference from windows....
Hardware - from a purely technical spec point of view this system was not a good deal at all. The processor is a generation behind, but it does have 4gb of ram and a 250gb hd. From that point of view I paid at least twice the value for this computer. Quality and feel??? I must say that I am very impressed with the fit and finish of this piece of equipment. The keyboard is a absolute pleasure to type on, and having a backlit keyboard is something I am really enjoying too. The feel of the unibody construction is solid if nothing else.
I feel as if I am speaking out of both sides of my mouth, and I guess I am. I guess it comes down to this. I really don't see the big deal with the software, but I am enjoying the hardware. Not to happy as to why I had to purchase this darn thing either....
Those are my thoughts.... What are yours.....
