I Love My MacBook Pro

December 19th, 2008 |

My new MacBook Pro arrived about two weeks ago. I’ve been using a PowerBook Pro and an HP Pavilion for the past 3.5 years and really liked both. I’m surprised at just how much better this new MacBook Pro is than both of them. Leopard is sweet! The integrated webcam and mic work well and it’s nice not having to lug them around as peripherals. I prefer Office 2008 for Mac over Office 2007 for Vista. There’s much more, but I’ll stop there for now!

I welcome any advice, suggested software or widgets, etc. related to making my MacBook Pro experience as good as possible.

    I’m a big fan of Butler. It’s like the Incredible Hulk of launch apps. http://www.manytricks.com/butler/

    And, now that I’m finally running Leopard, Fluid is a great site specific browser with some cool icons available on Flickr. http://fluidapp.com/

    This is interesting. Not sure I would take all the advice, but it does show some possibilities. As for widgets- I do not use them. My students love the widgets with games. They can play games while their teacher’s back is turned. There are lots of appropriate widgets, so explore them. Be sure to post the ones you find useful. Note that the top 4 of the 7 “top widgets” are games.
