I got my first Mac and its a MBP13
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I got my first Mac because I am a Graphic Communications Management Major at UW-Stout. I got a MacBook Pro 13" and it is pretty incredible.
I am upgrading from my home PC, which is a Dell Precision 380 (I think) and I am coming from a 3ghz Pentium D with 2gb. This computer pretty easily beats that with a 2.4ghz Core2Duo and 4gb of ram. I really like the design of this computer.
Probably my favorite thing about this computer is the placement of the vent. Unlike almost every other laptop I have seen, the vents are not placed on the bottom of the computer, but where inside the hinge. Not only does the computer not get very hot, but I haven't heard the fan yet.
Another thing I have really been enjoying, that may not let me go back to a PC would be the multitouch trackpad and the gestures that you can do with it. I especially like expose. Four Fingers down to see my open apps, four fingers up to see my desktop, it is genius for multitasking now and when I will be doing a lot more design stuff.
The design of this computer is fantastic, I really can tell they put a ton of time into this computer. I can see why this computer is considered one of the best by CNet.
I was hoping to hear what other people enjoy most about their MacBook, maybe I will learn something new
PS- if this is the wrong forum to post into, please move

I was pretty thrilled when I got my first mac too Well, I ordered a 15" i7 and a 17" i7 turned up. Great. Another 2 weeks to wait for the right one! I was considering keeping it, but with all the bells and whistles I'd ordered for the 15", the 17" worked out cheaper!
For anyone in the uk thinking of buying a pro Amazon.co.uk seem to be cheap at the moment. I just ordered a 13 inch 2.4 version for £895 including next day delivery before 1pm... Comes with all their amazon prime extras as well if you have that service as well.
Not sure where to post this sort of thing so wrote it here!

Dashboard
On my dashboard, I have a weather widget that is set up by default to give me weather in Los Angeles. I don't live in L.A. How can I change this thing so it shows me my local weather? I have clicked on it, secondarily clicked on it, gone to "preferences" and tried EVERYTHING, and I just don't get it.
Then again, three weeks ago I was a Windows guy, and I am really glad to be here...
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

My 15" i7 500GB HDD 8GB ram High res anti-glare just arrived (The correct one this time) Its the first time I've EVER used a Mac and if the edges weren't so sharp, I'd actually want to make love to it. You can probably get arrested in some states for that, so maybe i wont. Plus I don't think there's an external port for that.

If you hover over it do you get a little "i" in the bottom right corner of it? Click it!
Got my 15" i5 exactly two weeks ago and it's one of the best purchases I've made. I love the battery life because I'm at work/doing research/in class all day long (I'm in graduate school) and it lasts forever. I'm so impressed and happy that I made the switch from being a 100% pc guy.
ordered a 15 inch i7 with hi res glossy on the 3rd said it shipped on the 7th but since then ive just had In transit to final destination - carrier details to be updated shortly.
Im eagerly awaiting it to be delivered, apple think it wont be here till the 21st which seems like an awful long time considering it is already in transit??
Free ipod as well.
I really hope it does arrive before then as I am off to University on the 24th!!

Finally bought my 13" MBP...i love it! got it on saturday night thanks to the 24 hour 5th avenue store here in the city this is the best thing i own besides my iphone 4 of course lol
i just got mine yesterday, but it took 3 days after i placed my order before i got my tracking order from Fedex in China.
picking up my 13" mbp from MC in tustin...$999 new! and i thought amazon was always teh best price!
