...on October 16th it was a birthday gift...i ordered it before i knew about the release of Leopard...but im pumped because they have an up-to-date program and if you order between October 1, 2007 and December 29, 2007 you get leopard for FREE link (well you gotta pay s&h) i cant wait to get my new mac i am currently and have been a PC guy since i started out but cant wait to make the switch as i have had many iPods and an iPhone and couldnt be happier with either so im sure ill love my new mac...anything i should know/get with this mac

any advice/suggestions would be helpful in making this transition...

thanks

i just received my macbook pro and its the same specs as yours just with the 200gb hd, imma former pc user and I LOVE IT! i love this thing! im never going back!

sweeeeeet... I can't wait its in indianapolis right now lol only reason I didnt get more space is because I have a 500 gb external hard drive... So I didnt need alot of space... But just a question... Was the transition easy?

Yea the transision was fairly easy / simple... just gotta get used to it... i spent almost a whole day figuring it out and stuff. But once you get the hang of it, its so amazing and simple i love it. i got a program called crossover so you can open exe on macs which is what i needed and when i get leopard ill just use bootcamp and run windows as well but other then that i love it!

... oh and another thing is I wish i could sync or even send photos, contacts or songs to the iPhone but you cant... which isnt the MBP's fault its the iPhones...

boooo! but yes i love it and im going to keep buying mac products for the rest of my life! ill be selling my mbp i just got 2 days ago soon because in january the mbp is getting a speed boost up to 2.8ghz.

why cant you sync... That one of the reasons im getting a mac syncing its supposed to be easier especially since it also backs up your contacts in address book

LOL you can sync to the macbook pro just not with Bluetooth. It would be nice to sync using Bluetooth but you can't so you have to use the cable like always thats all.

reas0n · 10-19-2007, 07:45 PM

o ok you didnt mention the bluetooth before... Yeah i used to have a motorola that i could sync with my laptop through infared... Never used it much even tho the laptop has built in infared... Not very important to me... As long as i know i can send a vcard through email and save it on my phone if need be thats good enough fir me...

kr3st · 10-19-2007, 07:48 PM

well then i think you will love your mbp. i know i love mine. pm me or im me if you have any questions when you get it.

reas0n · 10-19-2007, 07:53 PM
