[QUOTE="MacMoon, post: 1695047, member: 367101"] Well I got my MacBook, I was happy to see that I was upgraded to a 2010 2.4Ghz model rather than the 2009 2.26 I actually ordered. It's running 8GB RAM and a 250GB harddrive which is probably the original one, as is the battery probably original. I updated it to El Capitan as well from Yosemite. This is the report on the battery. It looks rarely used, but probably original. Using it yesterday it seemed to offer around 4 hours of life which I didn't think was too bad runnign the screen at about 70% brightness and websurfing mostly. [ATTACH=FULL]23603[/ATTACH] So as a noob to MacOS I have a lot to learn, especially what seems like millions of keyboard shortcuts lol. I kept pressing eject expecting it to be a delete button lol. Also it's going to take a while to get used to looking right at the top of the screen for the app options even when something is not full screen rather than at the window itself. Took me a while to figure out how to add accounts on email/ calendar because of that lol I totally forgot that the options where elsewhere to where the window was displaying! So far I'm about 50:50. Some things I like and some things will take some getting used to. I'm expecting to be agnostic about Windows vs Mac and to play both for their strengths to get the best of both worlds, like i said I'm not expecting to switch but likely I'll prefer using the Macbook for some things... just not sure what yet :) [/QUOTE]
