Took the plunge-MacBook Pro-new Mac user

[merbel]

Have been debating for a while and read all the posts about waiting vs going ahead and decided to go for it. Never had a Mac but went to the Getting Started class at my store and was hooked. Ordered from Macconnection to save tax and take advatage of the $150 rebate so have to wait a few days to enjoy. Looking forward to exploring the world of Mac. Thanks to all for advice.

Congrats, I'm still waiting on my first Mac purchase. Although I find it funny how everyone relates the switch to a deadly "plunge". Going from Mac/OS X to PC/Windows is like a plunge, not the other way around. I know you didn't mean it like that ... I'm just .. bored on my PC.

great! enjoy your new computer and be sure to post here with any questions.

just out of curiosity: was the orientation at your Apple store helpful? i've heard mixed reviews.

 

[Hey Apple!]

I am going to probably buy a MBP before the updates as well.

Welcome to the Mac World! I think you'll love your MBP. I too was a PC user, but in 2003, I bought a PowerBook laptop just to play with Macs after my iPod purchase, and quickly fell in love with Apple laptops. I think you'll probably feel the same way...

Enjoy, and again, welcome.
