Hmm, finally, I did it …
After playing around with a Mac Pro for more than two years (I have it as my workstation at work, but I preferred to use as main working machine my Sony Vaio SZ, running OpenSUSE), finally, I changed my mind and I’ve now made a decision on my new laptop. I also considered that would be great to take advantage of the ‘Back To School’ offer and to have as well an iPod Touch, to complement my Nokia E71 smart phone. So, 6-7 days ago I ordered online a MacBook Pro 13.3″ with the following specs:
- MacBook Pro 13.3″
- 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
- 320GB Serial ATA Drive
- Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
- Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
- Backlit Keyboard (US) & User’s Guide (English)
- SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
and of course
- iPod Touch 8GB (2nd generation)
The laptop is coming with Leopard but I can order Snow Leopard on their website just for about 8 Pounds (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/uptodate/).
Apple’s tracking information says:
In Transit to Customer – Shipment on Schedule
so, I hope that I will have it tomorrow, right now I’m like a 5 year old boy waiting for his gift.
