Mac Book Pro

I have seen some nice computers in my time, but I just brought home a Mac Book Pro, and it takes all the prizes. This is one very sweet machine.

Firstly, it is elegant. Sleek, slim, silver, and with a really bit screen. All the ports and buttons are discreetly located in appropriate but unobtrusive areas. The screen is bright. The keyboard is pleasant and smooth. Someone clearly spent a lot of time thinking through the form factor of this device.

When you turn it on it helpfully works you through the initial setup which includes wireless networking. This is smooth as silk. It just works. No troubles, no complications, no strange files to edit, no wierd directories to find. You just turn it on, and it works.

Setting up email, browsers, contacts, calendars, etc. is equally no-brainer. There are simply no issues. It all just works.

And the machine appears to be fast! I am running Quake4, and it's smooth and very pretty.

I'm not done setting it up yet. I don't have my favorite compilers loaded. And I havent loaded the Mac development environment either. But if the rest goes as simply and intutitively as the initial setup, then this will be the easiest computer I've ever had to set up. (Except, perhaps, for my first Mac 128 in 1983.)

This is how it was suposed to be.
