About 2 years ago, I decided that I was going to need to get back into the Macintosh World. I've blogged about it here a few times, and for the most part have had an incredibly easy time living with one foot in the Mac side, and the other on the Windows side. All in all, my previous MacBook Pro (1st Gen, 2.1ghz, 2 GB Ram) held up very well. In fact, it's probably the longest I've ever held on to a machine.
When Apple revved the line in February, I new my time for a replacement was coming. The major irritation for me was the lack of RAM, a relatively small HD (when you consider I run two OS's, 32 GIGs of music, etc).
I was considering just going back to the Windows world, and could have certainly gotten a good deal on some decent Windows laptops, but the fact that I held on to the 1st MacBook Pro for so long led me back to just replacing the MacBook Pro with another MacBook Pro.
This time, I got a 2.6 GHZ Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB Ram (already ordered the 4Gb upgrade for $94 vs Apples' $400 price), a 7200 RPM 200gb drive, Nvidia GeForce 8600m 512 video, etc. The biggest change for me is that I replaced the Glossy Screen I had with the Anti Glare screen. So far, the LED screen is way brighter, and the Anti Glare rocks!!!
So, what about my old baby? Well, my wife just got a great replacement for her 12" MacBook that she's been using for about 2 years.
The machine transfer wizard worked amazingly for BOTH machines. No hiccups (well, except for the fact that my Bootcamp partition didn't come across---not that I'd trust it if it had!)
