Well... I'm anxious for my new macbook pro to arrive which I ordered on the 2nd of November. It's scheduled to be shipped on the 16th and arrive with me for the 28th (both estimates). Firstly, do people generally get them before this or after?
My specs (pasted) are as following:
2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM-2x1GB
100GB Serial ATA Drive@7200rpm
SuperDrive 8X
17" Glossy Widescreen Display
No Modem
BkLit Keyboard/Mac OS-B
Country Kit-B
(Just so everyone knows, that's with the 256MB of GDDR3 GFX RAM and has the latest Core 2 Duo processor.)
Do these machines game well? I intend to play World of Warcraft and judging from the specs it should run that like a dream. But what about more "intense" games such as doom 3? And what about games that will only run on windows? I've been reading up on bootcamp and it seems very simple to get windows working. I have been through pretty much every linux distro on the planet (including Gentoo) so I find things like this fairly simple now But how well do the drivers run? Is it possible/better to get the latest drivers from the chipset manufacturers or are they apple modded?
Now for a side question.... the mighty mouse... what are people opinions of these? Apparently they're hard to click, right click doesn't work right, the "ball" feature stops working after round about 2 months, etc. Does anyone here have the same experience?
Thanks a lot.
