MacBook Pro

MACBOOK PRO

Its official! I just ordered a MacBook Pro from Apple.com and yes! I got the last model! I went to the Apple Store and I really hated the new glossy screen. It was so hard to see, I could just imagine trying to use it outside where there is light! Not to mention, the new MacBook Pro would have cost $700 more and for what? It has the same processor, same memory, has the same 1 year warranty, same screen dimensions, same built in programs, OS and iSight, same USB, Firewire 400 and 800 connections. The only differences are the physical atributes, a 250 GB hard drive as opposed to a 160 GB (which doesn't matter anyway, since I have all my data on an external HD), a faster graphics card, which considering I am currently using an iBook G4, I don't think I'll be able to tell the difference since anything I buy will be way faster than my current laptop.

YEY! I can't wait! I'll be selling my iBook on Craigslist or on eBay. Let me know if you are interested and I'll cut you a deal!
