That's a really nice setup, the macbook seems shiny, is there anything on it?

thanks, yes its an invisibleshield which adds a glossy look to the blackbook :)

got it because i was a bit unsure about the matte finish and because im a scratch freak. since then, the matte has really grown on me and im thinking about taking the palmrest and trackpad shield off :)
 
i just got my first mac and it is an i mac with a 17 inch monitor and with 2.33 ghz. but my brother just recently purchased a mac book in black.:apple:
 
Heres my setup

Well first time posting my setup... just got a macbook a month ago, had the powerbook since 2 years ago i think... Look at my avatar for specs, not included in there is the WD 500gig MyBook Pro external drive and 22" inch Dell widescreen monitor.

I got the Dell for free yesterday from the non-profit I donate time to. Its a Pentium4 HT 2.8 GHz, with 512MB of RAM and an 80GB HDD, as well as a DVD-ROM. We got over 270 of them from the community college (we refurbish machines and give them away to schools). Everyone got one, since we all pitched in and moved all these machines. I took it, dropped a gig of RAM into it, a AGP FX5200, and a CD-RW drive.

My Quicksilver G4 is a Dual 1 GHz G4 box, with 1.5 GB of SDRAM and a Radeon 9000 Pro card, with a 40 GB drive, and a 30GB hard disk drive, and it has the original 2X Pioneer Superdrive, and the Zip 250 drive.

The Quicksilver is the white monitor, the Dell is the black.

Why not make the Dell the main monitor? ;)
 
Just finished changing the place of my computer a couple of days ago.



MacBook 1.83ghz Core Duo 1gb ram. Samsung SyncMaster 215TW 21" lcd monitor. Playstation 2. Wacom Graphire Bluetooth graphics tablet

That thing on the right is my DIY amp. The case is not finished yet.

Technics SL-Q2 turntable with grado green cartridge. TC-750 phono preamp. Bad JVC speakers that need to be replaced asap. Grado SR60 headphones.

Well I meant menu bar and dock wise ;)
 
Had a Dell Inspiron 510m which is now sitting by my bin, It was running XP for the last few years but i've stuck Ubuntu on it for now just to mess around with and stuff.

Then back in June I got my first Mac ever and there's no way i'm going to switch back, never! It's the Black Macbook, 2.16 GHz, 200GB hard drive and I upgraded to 2GB RAM. I bought the wired mighty mouse and I'm backing up to a 250GB external drive.

I'm thinking about adding a Dell LCD and some speakers, probably Logitech's. I'm going off to university this September so i'd rather make my Macbook my entertainment centre than having a gigantic TV and hifi taking up all the space.

another proud switcher :) glad you like your apple :) how did you find the 'switching' part? learning the new OS and stuff?
Click to expand...

Way better than I expected, definitely the most pleasant switch i've ever made out of all the different Windows versions and Linux distros i've used, Mac is the epitome of awesome. Everything really does just work, awesome driver support, really sleek interface, it's the only OS out there that doesn't look like a train wreck.

The only little problem i've come across is connecting to my wifi network, I just get error message after error message, but seeing as I have no problems getting on the neighbours networks It's probably just my crappy Belkin router.

Apart from that i'm more than pleased, totally worth paying the extra few £100 for a Mac instead of just going with another crappy Dell.
