I just got the third mac laptop I have had within a one year period. Some background on this is my first mac (1GHZ 12" ibook G4) which was purchased almost 2 years ago. It was a good laptop but it's monitor sadly got destroyed in a accident caused by my sister during last october. Anyways she paid me back for the ibook, and I ended up getting a 15" powerbook when they were updated in november. The powerbook was a very nice laptop and it is probably the reason why I love macs as much as I do now, but I felt like it just didn't have the speed I required from a primary computer.
So since I recently got a good opportunity to get a 2GHZ macbook pro, I decided to buy one to replace my powerbook. So basically thats my background with macs. Anyways, I find the macbook pro to be a very nice leap over the final rev powerbook. The monitor is way better, and I love all of the new features the intel mac has such as frontrow, photobooth, ilife 06, and so on. Also the speed increase in great, I have noticed a large performance boost in many of the intel native apps. Only complaint is that rosetta seems to require tons of memory, so I have ordered another 1GB stick to help out with that.
So basically I got this to have a computer that will last me a few years, since I will be going off to college somewhat soon. The specs are the stock 2.0GHZ 15", which is 100GB 5400RPM HD, Radeon X1600 256MB, 2.0GHZ intel core duo, and 2GB of RAM after the upgrade.
