I can't believe it, my dad was so freakin' generous he actually decided to buy me the 15-inch macbook pro with the best specs, even though I myself was squirming at the price and was suggesting some tone-downs just to alleviate the financial pressure. I mean really, I wasn't expecting that at all. He gave me the impression that he would not spend anything on electronic devices that cost more than $1500 tops, but apparently he worked things out in his head this time round and figured it was fine to spend a shitload of cash on something really useful and long-lasting.
A'yup, I plan to use this com for a super long time in return. Spent my first coupla days rummaging through online manuals and reviews to stock up on computer management information...especially battery-wise, I'm just so bothered by the battery management. Apparently mac notebooks use lithium batteries and these require a different method of usage. Instead of trying to avoid the charger as much as possible, we're actually supposed to stick it in most of the time when using the com, and just make sure we calibrate the battery at least once a month to keep the charges flowing. That's something new. I guess it's better this way, I wouldn't be taxing the battery, nor would I be worrying about the time left before I have to start charging the com again.
So, my thoughts on the com...I guess I have to say I'm in love with it. It's kind of amazing how I could crossover from disliking the mac interface to loving it in just one night. I guess this sort of thing happens once you gain more knowledge of the subject.
Not to mention, TF2ing is a hell lot better now on this new com. It has 2 graphics cards with dynamic switching, and the gaming experience is just awesome with all those high-def details! The only problem left is just the occasional fluctuation of the wireless connection, but that's something I can't really help, and it doesn't really bother me too much anyway. As long as I get into a decent server, I can still play a really good game. All in all, man, I'm pleased. Really pleased.
Love mah new macpro. I hope it will accompany me all the way till after uni or even longer, that would be so worth it. Imagine doing architecture or graphic design on this beaut'...hmm...
