Used and love macs, but never owned. Should I?

I really want to buy the Macbook Pro (the new ones). Well, its more i really want a mac, and notebooks suit me better, and the pro seems so much better. Should I go for the Macbook, the Macbook pro or wait for something better?
Also, which one out of the three different macbooks do you think should i go for?

TOPICS: Mac OS X

Of course this question depends...

Of course this question depends more on your own preferences than anyone else's opinion??but I'd say this is a great time to go for it. When the original MacBook Pro was announced I decided to wait on rev2, hoping that all of the first model issues would be fixed. I ordered a Merom MBP the day they were announced and have had it a little more than a month. It is a wonderful machine??fast, smooth, quiet, no issues at all (kow). It runs Photoshop about the same speed as my G5 dual 2.0 and runs universal apps something on the order of 10X faster than my old G4 iBook. And it even does Windows. I just have a feeling that when Vista and Leopard are both released the market share numbers will shift considerably. No reason not to love this machine??have a nice Christmas.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
