Mac happiness
I’ve had my MacBookPro for about a month now, and I must say it is probably the best computer I’ve ever had. Besides being nice and fast, I am impressed with the quality of it especially since it’s one of Apple’s first Intel machines. My previous PowerBook G4 (the aluminum model) suffered from a bad screen that I unfortunately didn’t get fixed under warranty, and an annoying power connector that eventually failed under stress (I am fairly rough on laptops).
I’m frankly surprised at the stability of the OS on Intel. Only once that I recall did it really crash (an odd problem where the mouse pointer got stuck on one side of the screen). I wonder how long Apple was working on this before they announced the switch?
Granted, this is an expensive machine, but you get a lot of quality here along with the Mac glamour factor.
