Hey everyone.
I have a new MBP. After a week, I think I've broken in the MBP. I still have some things to set up my dev environment, svn, ruby on rails, MAMP, Headdress, learn textmate or learn coda, learn quicksilver, etc...
What do I think?
I love it. Coming from a 3 year old Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet, I love the screen, so beautiful. I love the Battery life (I did 4 hours of light internet work the other day off the battery.) I miss my tablet features, but overall, I'm glad I bought it.
So, what's my "but..."
(knock on wood)
no yellow screen, no dead pixels, no heat issues, every
(Knock, Knock, Knock)
I do have a couple of gripes:
1) my wrist is killing me from using the trackpad with the 17" MBP. the edge of the MBP hits my wrist perfectly when I'm using the trackpad. I've debating about using a wireless mouse, but I like using the trackpad if my wrist didn't hit it.
2) the latch to open the MBP is a pain in the neck to open for me. Why couldn't they add the magnetic latch in this revision? The only way to open it is to make sure the laptop is vertical or perpendicular to the desk and let gravity help me opening it.
I'd say my gripes are relatively small.
I've been having fun trying all sorts of apps trying to find the best one for me to use.
I just thought I"d post them for those people who are debating between 15" and 17". Would I change my decision? I don't think so.
