Went from MacBook to Unibody Pro, first impressions

So I just bought a new 2.4 MacBook Pro. Before I had a late 07 White MacBook. So I wanted to give you guys some first impressions, especially for those wanting to make the same switch. So first off, why the 2.4 Pro and not normal MacBook? Well, I decided that I will buy the Pro first to see how it will be especially for traveling and stuff, and if I find it too big, I have no problem paying the 10% within 14 days for a MacBook. First thing I noticed, was that the screen is pretty damn nice compared to the MacBook, but only if looking at it from a weird angle. Another thing about the screen; so far I really LOVE the size Movies look nicer and so do other stuff. And I don't really get what all these people complain about. Unless you have the sun right behind you, there are hardly any reflections. Another thing I noticed right away was that the ports are definitely way too close. I wanted to plug in my external HDD and memory stick, but the memory stick was a bit too wide for it The mouse is a huge improvement and I really love the backlit keyboard. I also love the aluminum construction! Anyway gonna go do some battery tests and graphics tests now and try moving around with it and use it in places like my MacBook so I can decide if it's not too big.

 

Yes I meant USB flash drive for some reason I have been calling it Memory stick for like 5 years now with tons of people trying to tell me its a flash drive

Anyway, thanks both of you! I have a lot of time to do tests, as I'm laying sick in the hotel

 

Ha. So I was right!

Nice to hear. I was thinking about going your way as well, but decided the faster processor isn't worth the 500$ for me, cause I get my RAM and HDD for free

 

Wow thats a really nice price for it's physical size and as well as the actual size. I'm gonna have to look for something like that soon.

Anyway, I just want to say that I found my first dislike. I'm charging right now after calibrating, and I'm at 92% with 1 hour left to charge. I have read about this issue, but I hope it will get better after a couple cycles. My old MacBook would charge much, much faster But could it also be due to the US plug? Since I only have used my MacBook in Europe.

 

My MacBook battery lasts about 4 hours or longer, depending on what I'm doing. Currently my Pro is jumping from 4:30 to 5:30 so I hope it's a good sign for good battery life (this is with backlight halfway, keyboard halfway browsing, chatting on MSN and Pages open with 9400 on)

Aha, I knew there was something about it Well I'm stuck another week or so here in NYC, so I won't know until then
