Except way better.
Finally made the leap up to the new MacBookPro. (Disclaimer: I own a
bit of Apple stock, so consider that as possibly affecting my judgment,
honesty, and personal hygiene in the drooling that follows. Note also
that I’ve been using mostly Macs since 1986. This is my sixth Mac in
20 years. Wow, am I old. Anyhow.)
Fantastic machine, if anyone’s considering getting one. Glossy screen
is gorgeous, the Dashboard feature in the current operating system is
terrific, my software leapt from one machine to the other with minimal
hassle, and even the new magnetic power cord is nifty. The new
software written for the Intel chip zings along in a completely zippity
quick fashion, and even the old software is running faster, despite
having to be internally translated into code the Intel chip can
process.
Pricey box, but worth it if you live on your computer the way I do.
I’ll never go back to using John Hodgman again.
