[QUOTE="stevo-m, post: 294406, member: 24408"] Hi everyone, I'm new here. Just ordered my MacBook Pro and hoping to have it soon (although I've heard some horror stories about ordering directly from Apple!). I'm excited about getting it, but I still have a couple of questions about it; if anyone could answer them I'd be very grateful. I'd heard that the MacBook (the one I was originally going to go for) has a magnetic closing system, rather than a physical catch, and that you can 'stick' the Apple Remote to the casing because of the magnets. Can you do this with the MacBook Pro? I'm still not sure if there is a magnetic catch for this model. If anyone could recommend a good case for the MBP, as well.. I have a feeling I'm going to be a bit OTT when it comes to looking after it! Also, this isn't exactly a 'general' question (sorry!) but just wondering if anyone has tried running Second Life with their MacBook Pro (I'm getting the entry level spec. - 2.0 ghz, 15", if that makes a difference) and has actually been able to do it? I'd heard that it is not possible to run it on the MacBook because it doesn't have a suitable graphics card (or it doesn't have one at all, right?) but the way I'm reading the requirements on the Second Life site I think the MacBook Pro's graphics card is advanced enough to handle running it. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies! Stephen [/QUOTE]
