Back in September I purchased my first Apple computer.
A 24" iMac: 2.16Ghz C2D 1 gig of RAM and a 7300GT 128mb video card.




Then I had the need for mobility and picked up a New MacBook Pro:

2.33Ghz C2D, 2 gigs of RAM, X1600 Ati 256mb video card.




Im addicted. I love my new Macs.....

Actually, I really like it. Nice weight, plenty of buttons for DPI adjustment and Expose, and good feel for gaming too. Just plug and play!

Also.. Are you running Vista? Or just a theme for XP? If that is Vista, hows it run?

Trust me, if it was glossy, the glare from the the flash would be all in your face.

My MBP is the glossy screen. I like how more vivid the colors are. People always complain about "glare", but Ive had no problem with any glossy screen ive ever had.

It is just a vista look alike, sorry

i was running vista on my macbok pro and it was awesome. I dont know why people dont like it.

Anyways you can never go wrong with a mac laptop.

I had the 15" 2.33 ordered a 17" 2.33 that should arrive tomorrow. I am a real estate screen freak the more pixels the better.

how is vista and gaming for you?
i had vista runing and had too many issues.
driver issues.
programs and games that would just not install.
too many issues, so i went back to XP and have had no issues.
plus games appear to run faster.
is that Vista with the activation work around?
