I've always loved the look of those iSight cameras, do they work well? (If that's whats on top of your monitor, I think it is anyway)

They work well, but can be grainy by todays standards. They don't do well in low light.

There is one thing in your setup which breaks my heart......

This is my set up while on rotations in hospitals. Very handy as a mobile office!







Still on the fence about getting the 11.6" mba. While small, I think multitasking will be a nightmare on it. So cute though!

I tried it out at the Apple Store today, and I think all the multitasking aides built into OS X (Spaces, Expose, four-finger gestures, etc) are enough to compensate for the small screen size. It's 1000x better than using XP on my 10" Dell netbook :rolleyes:

Not to me. I need documents side by side, and browsers open next to documents to take notes from webcasts. My 13" mba did that just fine although it was more cramped than my HR mbp. the 10" netbook fad never caught on with me for this reason.

Well i've done updated setups before, but never past and present (as the title of the threads suggests we should post). So, here we are.

Mark.

May i ask where you got that city photo/poster behind your desk on the wall. It's a great image and i'd like to have something similar in my home.

As you probably all know my Mac only setup, here is my Mac / TV / Gaming setup of my bedroom (I'm 15). PS3 is connected to the TV.

The 'corner':
X63jgEy


The PS3 connected to the TV:
VufoShx


The Mac / iPad desk:
Ng263v3


The iPad is in the Apple iPad case. On the right, I can relax (watch TV, play PS3). On the left I make homework and work with the MBP / iPad. As I sit at the desk I often watch TV. Very relaxing. Photo is taken with my iPhone 4. My PSN is: jessieblommaart. Add me, I'm unbeatable with FIFA 11....;)

Loving my setup, it's finished now.

13" Mba and 11.6" New MBA have very similar resolutions, there would be very little difference on whats on screen.

I got a couple questions about the case. Let me check when I get home!


13" Mba and 11.6" New MBA have very similar resolutions, there would be very little difference on whats on screen.

Even so, the aspect ratio makes for a difficult time reading documents etc I believe. Truthfully, I need to bring in my mba into the store to see the difference. I really hate the specs of the 11.6 though and might just wait for the second gen to pick it up. I paid the same amount for my current 13.3" but I have 2.13ghz, 128gb ssd, superdrive, apple care, retail leopard and snow leopard rolled into it.

Plus, you've also got a backlit keyboard (which some of us value a lot) on your MBA. :)

^^ Wow, very nice. I sprung for the Dell U2711 tho' instead of the Apple 27. Very pleased thus far although the Apple 27 kills it in the styling dept.
