I sincerely LOVE my macbook..but in the healthy, non creepy sort of way. I must say that I was very fortunate to have a rather perfect one, no moo'ing r whining.. temp seems to stay in low to mid 60C's - its damn near perfect. The only thing that bugs me is the HD space.. as I finally got to upgrade from a dual usb 500mhz ibook.. soo emulating rosetta to run photoshop, is still FASTER than I was used to, and this is only with the 512mb ram.. Cant wait to order 2gb upgrade.. not to mention a bigger HD.. as Ive shared similar sad feelings when turning on computer and seeing a mere 38gigs available.. i deleted a lot of stuff, yet still found that if I copied everything from my ibook to this machine, I would only have about 4 gigs open (as my ibook also had a 60gig HD) - and anyone whos replaced an ibook harddrive, knows how tricky it will be to pull the HD out to use in a firewire enclosure... so if someone could please point me to THEE thread for the proper harddrive to get (120gig or higher) along with best place to get my 2gigs of ram.. I will continue to search, but pointers would be most appreciated.
- I must say that complaints about the sharp edges and discoloration, amongst many others, are a little beyond me.. this is a first rev machine, of a damn near first rev chip concept. what can you expect? However, I fail to be angry, as I assumably got lucky, and have a clean machine (damn happy about macrumors though, reading this thing religiously kept me up doing the intel 1.0 update, which has been suspected of causing a moo.. )- but i am just damn pleased with this machine, its monitor, camera, speed, versitility, sleekness.. (magnetic closure, damn thats hot.. my girlfriends last model ibook, has had closing problems since she got it, with its little latch) - blah blah.. this is a beeeautiful machine, and damn proud to own it.. will just be sad, when it gets updated come august, and i will have a slight bit of buyers remorse. Yet coming from a slow ibook, i should be set for quite some time, and can not wait for universal CS suite, as I anticipate photoshop will SCREAM on these little consumer machines, beyond all speculations. - but if i must join the masses and find some little flaw in the machine.. it seems as though I have to press a whole lot harder on the keyboard to type what I want.. ESPECIALLY on the letter 'o' - its coming up blank soo many times for me.. about 12 times so far in this posting.. guess i just have a weak ring finger... tisk tisk.. time to do some 'w' and 'o' flexes..
