My First MAC

I couldn't hold out any longer for the Core 2 Duo {Merom} chips so I just went ahead and made the switch from the PC World to the Mac World by purchasing a MacBook Pro.

It's specs are as follows:
2.16GHz Intel Core Duo
1GB 667 DDR2- 1 SO-DIMM
100GB Serial ATA drive@5400rpm
SuperDrive (DVD+/-RW/CD-RW)
Glossy Widescreen Display
No optional SW
BkLit Keyboard/Mac OS
Airport Extreme Card&BT

And I also purchased the CANON PIXMA IP6220D PHOTO PRINTER that's $99.00 or free w/ the $100 Mail-In Rebate.
I do plan on using BootCamp b/c I am an engineering student. I only will use Windows for AutoCAD. Nothing Else.

I am excited beyond belief 😀 . I cant wait until October 6th, the day my first Mac will be delivered to my doorstep.
 
Congrats to you! October will be here before you know it!

very nice, I bought a 2.0 model (when it was the highest spec) with 2gig ram.. and one for the wife too..

soon after, went out and bought a Canon Pixma MP800 printer/scanner, very very nice, and works exceptionally well with the MBP, despite the software not being universal... runs off my airport express too... very happy!

Yeah, plus you won't have to worry about paint flaking off of it. 😎
 
I love the backlit keyboard

I would have bought the macbook pro if I had more money. The backlit keyboard is something I didn't know so now i'm jealous. I strongly recommend upgrading to 2GB of memory to enjoy the complete extraordinary experience of your macbook. I have 2gb and now everything runs instantly. Especially safari, browsing takes 1 sec or less, it's ridiculously fast.
I run like 8 programs at the same time and everything still runs ridiculously fast.
Congratulation to your new macbook, Cheer !
