Very nice dude. Wish I could afford a MBP.

Getting tired of seeing new MB's that are way more powerful than mine for much less £££. I'm sure I paid roughly £1k for mine with 1gig ram, now your getting them for £700 with 4gig ram.

Very nice machine.

No sorry, I was referring to the thread title. I thought I'd read it wrong when the picture was a MBP and the title just read "MacBook".

I wish someone would gift me a MacBook Pro.

It's certainly hit my finances hard getting one (was hoping to get a new car in the near future) but it's the must have product in the office at the moment so I couldn't been seen to be left behind

I'm only beginning to see what it's capable off though as I keep finding new brilliant little touches, Love it!

Yeah just got mine this afternoon, loving it so far was a bit nervous in spending a lot of money on a laptop but it seems to have been worth every single penny. The battery is brilliant and the screen is lovely (got the glossy). Coupled this with OS X and I'm a very happy bunny.

Still very much still in the learning phase myself, getting used to all the differences between OSX and Windows but yeah so far so good.

Agree with you about the performance, everything is instant and I've got what I consider a high spec main rig but I can really tell the difference :eek:
