That’s right, I just sold my 2006 15″ Macbook Pro, and now I’ve picked up a brand new 13″ Macbook Aluminum uni-body design.
I was a bit skeptical of the black keys and black around the screen, but I must say that I’m quite pleased with it, and the design has grown on me.
I was able to use TimeMachine to restore all my data, applications, settings, etc. I did have to reinstall my printers, but that’s not such a big deal.
I get about 5 hours out of a full charge, compared to the 2-2.5 on my former one. To get this amount of time I set the screen brightness all the way down, turn off the back-lit keyboard, and that’s about it. I leave the wifi still enabled.
I’m quite impressed.
Next stop, upgrading to 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD. I might wait a bit on the HDD, until they come out with affordable 750GB or 1TB drives.
