After a few weeks of talking about it, I took the plundge and bought a new MacBook Pro. This isn’t my first Mac, but I have been using Windows machines only for a while. This means that the house is totally Mac now, with my better half a dedicated Mac user (iMac 20″ currently).

It is the top-end 15″ model, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, and 160GB HD. It screams, and so far I have very little to complain about with it. My only issues thus far: the screen doesn’t open wide enough for how I sit it on my lap, my Logitech MX Revolution mouse doesn’t work quite right, and Firefox looks pathetic on Mac OS. Only one of those issues is Apple’s fault, though it is incredibly minor, and other than that I am completely satisfied with the machine and Leopard.

And yes, I am completely aware of the lack of originality in the title of this post.

On top of that, I came in to work on Friday to see my new workstation waiting for me on my desk. That box is a Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, and twin 20″ LCDs (1600×1200 resolution each). Thanks boss, but it isn’t a Mac…
