I bought my MBP about three weeks ago and life has been FANTASTIC ever since. I'll be getting CS3 Premium in the mail this week so I'll finally be fully immersed by this coming weekend.
But, I hate to sound cliche or like the commercials, but the Mac just works. It doesn't shut down, it doesn't freeze on me, it's incredibly user friendly, simple, well put together, very impressive.
The only fail going on right now is that the recent graphics update that came after the Leopard update has screwed up the ability to close it and only use an external monitor (clamshell mode as it's called). It locks it up and when I unplug the external I have to remove the battery to restart the mac. So now it just sits here open with the screen turned all the way down. They are supposed to have a fix soon.
But overall, I'm completely impressed. I bitched and bitched and bitched for months about my slowly dying PC, drove my GF nuts saying every day "I can't wait to get a Mac."
There's just no fuss like a PC - well, that I have yet to experience. No driver issues, none of that. Although, I'm sure once I start transferring fonts this weekend and realizing that tons of favorites won't work I'll change my tune.
- is this clamshell screwup only on a pro? my mb seems fine..rafalski
