MacBook Pro

I just organized a new MacBook Pro for my colleague with a very attractive developer discount (haven’t read the terms and conditions but no doubt I’m forbidden to reveal the actual quantity). These machines, released back in June so still relatively "young", are darn nice.

This elegant little package with its MagSafe connector, LCD-backlit display with gloss finish, illuminated keyboard, tasty processor, integrated iSight camera, remote, dual-layer DVD burner, and 2 GB of RAM standard will be a beautiful little performer.

Personally, if I had the money for a new machine right now I wouldn’t be getting a portable; for the same money as my colleague dropped on the MacBook Pro you can get an even nicer iMac, and for me portability isn’t something I need at the moment. My lowly little 17", 1.83 GHz iMac is starting to look a bit long in the tooth.
