Having had hands on both, the MB's seem much more solid to me. Significantly more "flex" in the chassis of the MBP.DoFoT9 said:
I think the blackbook looks the slickest of the three (but is a fingerprint nightmare).DoFoT9 said:
I can't speak for leftfoot, but I have both a MacBook and MacBook Pro (original Core Duo models) and I can't imagine being confined to the MacBook after getting the MacBook Pro. I love having the higher resolution screen on the MBP, mainly. The MBP itself is only marginally larger physically than the MB, but I can get so much more done on it because of the larger screen and more natural keyboard. Then there's all the perks like the backlit keyboard, etc, that just are really nice to have at times. I like the MB just fine, it's a great computer, but I'll take my MBP first any day. Since I never use the MacBook any more, it has become my wife's main computer.
There is just something about the white MB that makes me need one, even though I don't
Nice setup. You should put the HK sub on the floor though. Preferably in a corner.
Just curious about this... does it work better on the floor?
the difference is resonance should be astounding
I just recently upgraded from my Blackbook (2GB/160GB) to my current 17" Macbook Pro (HD, Glossy, 4GB-Apple Ram, 250GB HDD) and I really don't miss my macbook's form factor at all... I personally enjoy having the larger screen so much that it makes everything worth it.... espically when you're watching something in native 1080p resolution
.
If you see one in person and look closely, you won't see the beauty anymore. The surface surrounding the keyboard is a light gray and clashes with the white.
BlackBooks pwn WhiteBooks
I agree 100%, my sister has a WhiteBook and the two pads on either side of the trackpad look almost totally grey
I like the BlackBooks much better however I'm kind of partial to aircraft-grade anodized aluminum. MBP FTW!!!
nice sexy speakers, if you don't mind me asking, where did u get them from? i live in edmonton so i shud have the same store that u got down in cowtown!
Those are the Altec Lansing FX6021. I have them and they're amazing. Definitely the best PC speakers I've ever heard.
My first post to the setup forum from my macintosh!
What it looked like before my iMac arrived.
The black tower died and I was using a 1.6ghz celeron with 128mb of ram waiting on my iMac.

The graphics card on the macbook is horrible. When I bought the macbook, I didn't think that I would be using anything graphic intensive, but that isn't the case anymore.
I'd be curious to know what it is you have been now doing that is too graphics intensive for the MacBook.

I have seen those in stores, but I haven't found a setup where I could listen to them. Are they really that good? How would they stack up to bose for example?
Thanks,

p.s. - love the sig. Pats just ROCKED the cowboys. Last Red Sox game hurt, but I have faith.
Mr. Mac Pro:
is that a 23 inch or 30 inch cinema display? im thinking of getting the 23 so i just kinda want to get a grasp of how big it is. how huge is the display when you first get it? quickly get used to it?
im just thinking about whether i should get an ACD as its fair expensive... almost half the price of my mac. or should i go for the dell 24 inch... it will be 200 dollars cheaper for me. i really like the ACD for its striking design which matches my macbook pro, its firewire & USB hub its HD resolution... but the dell has more inputs. also should i hold out for the supposed new ACD around the corner. i think they will have HDCP and the better displays.
Bose is really overrated. The FX6021s are really good. Great highs, lows, and mids (which I find that most cheaper PC speakers lack). Plus they look awesome.
Also the Pats did own yesterday. come join us in the community discussion "NFL 2007" and "P-p-p-playoffs 2007" threads

That's the 23 incher. I don't think the thirty inch would even fit on my desk. It definitely feels a lot bigger than my old 17" Dell monitor, but I got used to it.
It's been said and argued many times on this forum, the argument about wasting money on ACD's is utterly bogus and shows a real lack of understanding. Very tedious indeed.
