I have my new Macbook Pro. Except for the obvious (can't run Photoshop in Classic to use my favorite plugins and will need to run CS3--that is, when I do eventually upgrade--in Rosetta [Power PC emulation for the Intel processor] when I'm using it in "artistic mode" [i.e., when I'm making art as opposed to using it just to process photo files] in order to use even OS X compatible plugins) the computer is GREAT!
Well, that's not all. This computer is hot
What, stolen?
No, hot, really hot. We're sweating like pigs, man.
Maybe I better check the trunk for dead aliens from Roswell.
It also gets to be quite weighty on my legs, not because it's heavier (it actually seems lighter than my G4 iBook), but because of the weight distribution. All of the weight seems to be in the rear (see, it's the aliens in the trunk!) where it rests on my legs toward my knees.
They did a migration from my deceased G4 Desktop, so I have all my files, which I'm now filing away and will archive (I should've done that years ago), so all my email was set up already...none of that hassle.
I put my G4 ibook up in the retirement zone upstairs so I can use it with my 19" monitor. It works well that way.

In spite of the program parts and filters you can no longer run this is a great computer. I can tell that you really like this one a lot, and I hope it turns out to be your favorite computer.
It must use more energy which makes it hot to hold. I suppose the metal case conducts the alien heat too fast.
It spins at a higher RPM, which I suppose makes it hotter? I downloaded an app which is supposed to make the fan come on more often to cool it down. But it's still too hot to rest upon bare skin, so I have to use a pillow. And in the morning after it's been idle all night, it's too COLD (can you believe it?) to rest on skin. Won't be as big a problem in colder weather when I'm not wearing shorts all the time, but it's a bit odd. The plastic models that we have aren't so extreme temp-wise.
The glowing keyboard is absolutely the coolest improvement. Never will my letters wear out again!
we have a fan that plugs into the laptop by usb that the laptop sits on. it cools it waaaay down! I am not sure where we got it at. I can ask, though!
Hmm...haven't heard of anything like that. I don't know how that would work with one who likes to scrunch up with their laptop on their legs though?
