new macbook

[Amadeus]

well work ordered me a new laptop and i requested a macbook

must admit, its lovely, been playing through it and working through 'tiger for dummies' as im a long term windows user - so hunting down all the tricks and tips

the widgets thing is great, everything seems more coherent and logical, oh and just checked the system settings and it says I have core 2 duo! - i was expecting old core duo as it was ordered a day before they were announced - seem i have been lucky

keyboards not bad either, screen is great, airport worked flawlessly with my home network

so pleased just felt I had to post something - oh yeah its a white one too

Well im getting to grips with the OS after a couple of days and everything seems a lot simpler and more elegant than windows. The machine itself is beautifully built, feels very solid and images look great on the glossy display. Keyboard is also good, I can type very fast on it but am still getting to grips with the extra fn key on the bottom left, and the no delete key (which I use fn+backdelete).

This thing is quick too, very responsive, opens images up in a flash, and connecting usb sticks is a breeze, just plug in, little disc appears with an eject by the side - very user friendly.

Still stuttering a little on word and excel, just a little different interfaces and managed to open a lot of toolbars etc lol, also the F9 to show open windows is very handy too.

all in all magic, my next dillema is to get a case and a sleeve - I want something backpacky but stylishly cool - not that Im asking a lot
