Got a new MacBook Pro!

[devo]

I was able to sell my old 2006 CD Mac mini and 2008 C2D MacBook Pro before we moved. Here's what the proceeds went towards. My first Apple purchase in the south. Yeehaw!



It's the 15" 2.2GHz with a 256GB SSD, 8GB of RAM and anti-glare screen. Yeah, I still went with the anti-glare screen.

Loving it so far! It's the fastest Mac I've ever owned. Things load in a blink with the SSD. It's also as quiet as a church mouse.

I'm still adjusting to the button-less trackpad though. It's kinda weird coming from the single button down below.

That's quite the smokin' notebook. Even a gamer would drool over it.
Very nice!

Hopefully things are going well for you. It sounds like they are.

[devo]

Thanks! It's a really nice machine, so I should be sitting pretty for the next couple years. Plus, I will still have a 2010 Mac mini hooked to the old ACD for music stuff.

Everything is going pretty good otherwise. I've actually had the week off to unpack and get situated. We are staying in a condo for six months until we close on a house and do a little remodeling. It's a really an exciting time for me. Tiring, but exciting.

Hope all is well up there in the great white north!

[Weee]

Sweet! I would so love to have one.

Congrats on all accounts and Happy Holidays. Sounds like things are going well for you!!!

Congrats on that Beauty Devo! If any of you can help, I posted something entitled "Opinions..." under MacBooks & I could really use your Professional opinions. I'm purchasing tomorrow. Thanks.

Devo, Welcome To The South! I'm a transplanted New Yorker myself! I'd keep the NY in your Profile though. NY sounds & is more happening & much cooler than most places. LMAO!

Thanks Dino. Yeah, NY will always be home. I'll tell you though... this is a pretty happening area with a lot going on.

Devo, You must be in Ft Lauderdale, Miami or Tampa. I'm on the other side. "Redneck Riviera".

Good luck with it, just about to put my MacBook up for sale.

MacBook is up for sale. Hope to move it. Need to pay for my new mini.

Wow, I hope I could have one too in the future! That's one fantastic mac! It will definitely be the next one on my wish list. I am saving up for an iPad later this year. My saving is slowly, but surely.
