Finally. A Macbook Pro.
Amidst all the junk on my desk, it stands tall, silent and strong. Presenting the all new Macbook Pro. This has been for me, a journey spanning 3 years, watching enviously as people around me got their own sleek high end Apple machines while I laboured away at my Windows Vista powered HP Pavilion DV9000. I assured myself that my choice of a PC was a pragmatic one, considering the amount of work I do on Windows as an animator. I was contented, until about the same time last year, a white Macbook came into my life. Sure, it had the most basic specifications an Apple computer could have, but it made me actually enjoy doing work. With its ram upgraded to 4gb, I found myself doing concept art, video editing, compositing, motion graphics and then some on this neat little machine. The only thing I couldn’t do was play games or use any 3D animation software. A year later, here I am staring at this beautiful 15 inch LED glossy display on the new Macbook Pro 2009, while my old Macbook is in the hands of a random buyer off the internets.
So I thought, what the hey, I’ll do a mini review of the Macbook Pro.
