- 2.4ghz MacBook Aluminum/ 16GB IPod Touch :D
Hey guys proud new owner of a new 2.4ghz Macbook today. So far I have been really pleased with the computer and the OS with it being the first time I have used it for personal use. But I have Comments questions and concerns.
Lets start happy!
Pros:
The computer is sexy
Everything is sort of just handed to you in this OS. Really there is no thinking involved. I love it.
I love the web cam and I am really enjoying all the software that came with the computer.
Aluminum looks nice and feels nice.
Track Pad is great.
Overall great experience.
Cons:
The loading drive sounds like they are bolting a new set of tires onto my DVD when I insert it.
Still unfamilair to the OS but will get used to it over time. (I am learning cool little things every few minutes of using the computer).
Concerns:
My first concern was the loading drive but I guess its normal so I can cope with that. I don't use discs much any ways.
Second concern was I downloaded Boxee and was using it and all the sudden it lost a network connection I believe because it was stuck on the loading screen. So I press Command Q and nothing happened. After waiting 5 minutes I ended up having to force shut down my computer. As I turn it back on it froze at the apple screen while the pen wheel was spinning. Once again let it sit for 5 minutes and had to shut it down manually again. Tried a 3rd time and didn't even get the pen wheel, just froze on the apple screen. After shutting it down the third time I removed the battery and waited 5 minutes and placed it back in the laptop and it booted up fine.
Should I look into this? Is this common? Any feedback on this would ease my mind, and would be greatly appreciated.
But overall I would have to say by having this computer for one day it is an amazing machine. I really like a lot of things about it. It will only get better as I learn the OS. (I do 3D graphics design on Mac at school but have never used one for personal use).
Ps: Here is my setup that I got for my Macbook. Let me know what you think!
