MacBook Pro!

I'm now the proud owner of a new MacBook Pro.

Our work laptops used to be all Dell's, and now they've gone and rolled out MacBook Pro's across the whole organisation.

They come with dual boot, but for now i'll be staying in Windows XP. I'll give the Mac OS side a look-see once I get used to this!

It feels like I'm a newbie again.. I really miss the page up/down keys, home/end keys etc when I'm using it on the train etc. Oh and the mouse pad!?? What's wrong with actually having buttons? Kind of annoying.

At work, I plug in the normal mouse and keyboard so it's much better.

Oh and what's the deal with only 2 USB ports? Very annoying!

Anyway it's much faster than my old Dell so I can't wait to give Photoshop a whirl and see just how much faster. I'm also very pleased that I finally have some excess hard-disk space instead of constantly copying stuff off to the external drive, just so Photoshop has enough disk space for the scratch disk!

The screen resolution takes some getting used to, as well. 1280x800 instead of the old 1024x768.

Now I have to spend the next day or three re-installing all the programs and copying back all the files I'd grown accustomed to
