My 15″ Macbook Pro arrived last week and I named it ProChicken. I made a trip to Richmond Daiso to get a $2 cushion case for this $2000 computer. It feels great to finally own a computer that can run Windows smoothly. Ironic. My last laptop was bought in 2003 before I went to Japan for co-op. It was a Sony Vaio (named “PurpleChicken”), which is still functional today. It was the cheapest and most low-end in store when I bought it. Even the default Windows XP bevel interface made it choke. Now I can run Visual Studio and all kinds of boring bloated applications.
I haven’t had a chance to really enjoy Joost until now (Mac version doesn’t run on PowerPC, and PurpleChicken is too slow). Using Joost on a wide-screen laptop is awesome. I watched a full documentary about chickens on the “Off the Fence Documentary” channel. Did you know the US Air Force shoot chickens out of cannons to simulate high-speed bird crashes on aircraft windshields? Dead and frozen, of course.
Congrats! The ProBook is what all of my friends are buying these days. I’m personally just now getting fluent enough with Mac to use it rather than my windows desktop which is becoming more and more out of date with each coming month. Currently I’m using a PowerBook G4 which gets the job done to an extent but the newer pros with the Intel processors are just fantastic. Before I head into college I’m thinking of buying a a Pro specifically for school. What Ive been thinking of is a 17″ rather than a 15″ because I’m going to be working with film.
But yeah! I hope ProChicken works out well for you!
As you might know, I got an Alienware laptop last year…..I love it. But I’m seriously leaning towards a MacBook Pro as a desktop replacement once my current (3 year old) desktop PC dies. But for now, I’ll just stare with envy at you MacBook Pro flickr photos
