Agreed. My response was a little...aggressive. It's just that here we are, all waiting for the Macbook Pro and in a forum to discuss it, and then you entered complaining about having to buy one. Do you kind of see where I'm coming from?![]()
Oh sure, I like to be devil's advocate of course, and I guess I just wanted to poke a bit at the mac snobbery I see all around me in my life:
Working in film projects most everyone is into their macs and I have to hear the lectures about how horrible my PC is, and see those silly ads etc, so being contrarian it just makes me want to push back a bit, for fairness sake, it gets old to hear how awful vista is when I've had a great experience with it, and wouldn't go back to XP for anything.
Just because one is good, doesn't mean the other isn't good too, I guess is my point. OSX causes me issues because things are backwards from what I'm used to, it's like if I had to suddenly write with my right hand, being left handed I can do it but you wouldn't have too much luck trying to read it. If I practiced though it would get more legible (like the newton...)
Having said that, now that I will be getting one of these, I do want to be informed and I'm excited about getting a new laptop of any sort, as I've just had a desktop for about 3 years now.
The MPB is a great looking machine, and I think it will be a good mobile workhorse for video. And hopefully hearing my unusal thoughts (for these parts) is more interesting than the endless debate about which keyboard people prefer...
As for the sticker - well I may not slap it directly over the backlit
