I got the chance! On a MacBookPro, at least...

I hated it. I guess I'm so used to the iBook keyboard that my brain is wired a different way, but the spaces in between the keys really threw me off. I kept hitting the keys next to the ones I meant to hit. It was a total mess.

Yes, glossy lips, not screens. :D

I think the current iBook keyboard had a big learning curve for me, but that once I eventually got used to it, I found myself having trouble with other keyboards. Looks like now I'm eventually going to have to play that game again? :rolleyes:

P.S. You know that, now that Mac Head has made a Rogertar, there is basically zero chance that Roger will ever come back, right? *sobs* :( :D

Hate the glossy screen. Wtf did Apple do that? :mad: It's so PeeCee.

EDIT: *whisper*Pssst... I think the magnetic closing is as hot as Roger*whisper* :eek: ;)

Nice Rogertar Andy!

The new keyboard looks incomprehensible, but I'm sure I could get used to it.
My sister wants a black one since they don't have pink.

Like everyone else, I'll start off by saying that ROGER IS HOT.

I wonder if keys on the new keyboard would be as easy to replace as on previous 'books? That screen is way too glossy though. I don't like glossiness.

The glossy screen is not a big deal. I only really notice it when the laptop is turned off.

One for the Roger fanboys and fangirls (mostly boys, surprisingly)

Hey I'm Roger's roommate. That's my account that the pics of Roger's new Macbook are posted under.

I'll tell you all: You have no idea how inflated Roger's ego has become from all this positive attention.

Anyway, here's a picture of him without a shirt on:

And the rest of the photos of him in my photostream are here. Now, please go ahead and turn this into a massive internet meme, thanks.

PS: If you have any Macbook-related question for him, ask and I'll forward them on.

I HATE the glossy screens. That was one of the things I couldn't stand about PC laptops, I loved the way the Powerbook and iBook screens were. The screens look like **** now.

I feel like I have to say he's hot at the start of my post...

Going 100% shiny is an interesting tack. Most wintel manufacturers still offer the option of low gloss screens yeah? I'm all for whiter, brighter (and while I'm at it, better larger gamut please) screens, but I'm wondering how these new shiny screens will work in color critical jobs?

Just another reason to suck it up and grab a MBP (for me at least).

Still, wicked consumer laptop. I'd get one if I could affor a desktop workstation in addition (in both cost and space).

Did you just say the glossy screen on the MacBook is all the more reason to get a MacBook Pro? Because I think your too late, they upgraded the MBPs to glossy as well.

Nobody has ever looked so good standing next to a computer until Roger came into our lives.

I'm going to visit the Apple Store and check those puppies out, I'll probably see Roger on the box for the MacBook because Apple thought he was so hot.

I'm not gay.
