My Macbook Pro Has Arrived!!! First Impressions

My brand spanking new Macbook Pro arrived this week and it is *gasp* one beautiful machine. I claim first! First of the new Macbook Pros to arrive in KL!

My Custom Built Macbook Pro Specs
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM
200GB Serial ATA Drive
SuperDrive 8x
nVidia GeForce 8600M GT 256MB
15-inch LED Widescreen Display (Matte)

The Outside
When holding this machine for the first time, I definitely felt the difference in weight and thickness from my Powerbook G4 (look left for the specs). I have played with many Macbook Pros before this, but it just isn't the same when its yours =) Its so light and thin, a dream to hold.

Love the built-in iSight, the new screen is leaps above the previous Macbook Pros (no grain, no uneven back-lighting, no bleed, nada), the magnetic magsafe power cable is great and the built of this thing is just A+, feels super solid in your hands, no lose parts like my Powerbook.

The Inside
Setting it up was a breeze and I got into installing my applications and transferring my documents in no time.

Honestly speaking, the difference in speed is not that huge when you're just doing the usual things like internet browsing, listening to music or typing documents, but when I start using Aperture/iPhoto for my photos or doing my designs in Illustrator, the difference is big. I haven't even started to push my mac to use all 4GB of ram yet... haha...

By the way, Aperture comes pre-installed as a trial with all new Macbook Pros.

Tried bootcamp with both XP and Vista, but I'll leave that for another post. Long story that one.

Dude, that Wasn't Really a Good Review...
I know. But this isn't a review in the first place. I'll share more when I've spent more time with it. For the time being, I am impressed and happy that I waited for this revision and most importantly, this is the first in KL for now. No mac store has stock, let alone custom units. People back in the States and UK are also still waiting for their custom units =D
