New MacBook Pros
Lincoln got a new MacBook Pro and let me tell you, I am drooling in envy. That machine is so slick and streamlined. I almost regret repairing my own MacBook Pro rather than replacing it after my prior water fiasco (regarding which I am, at this very moment, on the phone with AppleCare regarding random power fluctuations).
The glossy screen is a lot nicer than I imagined. Due to the brilliant architecture, it seems a lot thinner, as the edges bevel from closer to the center. The older MacBooks were far more squared off.
The magnetic closing mechanism is much nicer than the button on the old MacBook Pro. It feels more secure, and is resistant to damage. My button has marking damage from where my nail has worn away the finish.
The speaker quality seems much nicer than my MacBook Pro. The entire case feels more solid, due to the new design – all cut from one piece of aluminum!
Apple even moves forward with a green screen – LED backlighting to cut down on energy draining. Expected battery life? Five hours. Highly recommended.
