Finally, some pictures of my new black MacBook
Apologies for not posting anything here about my new black MacBook sooner. Each of the three or four times I went to post something while I was in LA, it turned out Blogger was down (in fact, I'm not even sure it's working correctly at the moment, as slowly as it's loading). Obviously Blogger wasn't down for the whole week or I'm sure it would have been a big story, but that's way still too problematic for my tastes. I may have to find another blog host (or have the iProng.com posting system adapted for this blog). Anyway, here are some pictures of my MacBook, all taken on the day I bought it last week. It seems I've already posted these pictures on every website but this one (even on other people's websites), but better late than never I suppose. In any case, I'm working on a summation of my first ten days with my MacBook (whoops, just called it an 'iBook' and had to fix it), as well as the story of bringing the thing three thousand miles home via the only carrying method I could - its original retail box.
But for now you'll have to settle for the pictures I hastily snapped while setting the machine for use at the iProng booth this past weekend in LA:
The Apple Store at The Grove in Los Angeles, where the mighty MacBook was acquired
The lunchbox it arrived in
Eh, wonder what might be inside?
Look ma, no release button! The thing just snaps together
The much-discussed new keyboard
The left-side ports including the MagSafe charging port
Not only is it five times faster than the iBook, the screen is seemingly five times brighter
The first black Apple laptop to feature the Apple logo right side up
The glowing logo (we're still waiting for Apple to make its logo glow on the back of the iPod)
For having thirty percent higher screen resolution, the MacBook isn't much physically larger...
...in fact it's shorter...
...and thinner.
