First review of the MacBook Pro
Published February 24th, 2006 in Apple, Noteworthy, PC, Shorts, Technology
I’ve been using one of the other MacBook Pro systems as my main system for about a day now. That’s right, I’ve taken the plunge—after a wait of a couple of hours while Apple’s Migration Assistant application copied all my files over from my PowerBook. The end result? This shiny new Mac laptop may be packed chock full of hot new technologies on the inside, but it still feels like home.
These Intel-based Macs are most definitely still Macs. For the past day, I’ve been using the MacBook Pro exactly as I was using my previous PowerBook, and have not noticed a single instance where there’s been something I’ve been unable to do because I’m running on an Intel processor. After the Migration Assistant did its thing, I was up and running with no major hitches. My windows are all right where I left them; my non-Universal-binary applications run without complaint…it’s like I didn’t switch systems at all.
