The new MacBook Pro(s) arrived! Yay!

My old Powerbook Pro retired a while ago and was sold on Ebay and the desktop mac is not-so-portable (it’s almost not portable at all). So, we decided to go for the just announced MBPs (one for Julia too, since her old one is acting up) and they’ve arrived today! Whoohoo!

Inside, the main difference is the Nvidia chipset and GPU. Good stuff for the new Photoshop CS4.

Outside, it’s the new design, OLED-back-lit display, and the new multi-touch trackpad.

For me the biggest hit so far is the trackpad, which really excels compared to the one in my old Powerbook. Tapping, double-tapping for right click and exposE gestures really cut on the value of a notebook mouse.

All-on-all, great update! Very recommended.
