Heathen Accross The Board
Whelp, I just took the plunge and ordered a MacBook. I wanted something cheap to try out this Mac stuff, but still functional. The MacBook ended up being the same cost as the Mac Mini I was wanting since I didn’t want a totally gimped one. So I sacraficed some power for portability. I want to be able to play with this thing at home and at work as well as take it around to friends and relatives who are also interested. And I’ve always wanted something I could even take around the house for random tasks. Sure, I have an Alienware. But that thing hardly qualifies as “portable”. I think they stopped showing the weight in the technical specifications because of that. Their new ones are approaching 20 lbs. MacBook is about 5lbs. My boss has one and it is great to work with. Grabbed all the adapters I would want too. This thing can do VGA, DVI, and S-Video. I have the MythTV box, so I don’t need to hook it up to my TV. But that sort of functionality always comes in handy.
Anyhoo, hoping it will be here next Tuesday or Wednesday. If Mac really impresses me maybe I’ll go all out and grab a few dream displays.
