My MacBook Pro came in today (through work). I’ll be writing about my experience making the switch and turning to the dark side as I get farther into it. I will say this, however. I feel very vulnerable. It’s going to be a bit of a learning experience for me as I re-learn how to do things on a computer. It came in this afternoon, so I didn’t get a whole lot of time to install stuff. I did a clean install of Leopard (it came with Tiger installed, but had a Leopard DVD in the box). I got Firefox and Adium installed and messed around the System Preferences. I’ll play more tomorrow getting it on Active Directory and getting Office 2004 installed and Entourage configured to use my Exchange account. Hopefully, I’ll also be able to get Adobe CS3 installed along with Parallels to run Vista. It’s currently charging as I let the battery die. I will say that the battery is one hearty battery. It took a good 3-4 hours of use before it would die and that included the Leopard install. It didn’t even have a full charge when I got it (though it was close). More to come…
