New MacBook Pros
There’s a great, in-depth review (via Engadget) of the new MacBook Pro 15inch, which was released just a few days ago. The reviewer notes “I’m new to Mac computers, new to OS X, but I am one happy switcher”, which echoes a sentiment I had not too long ago.
One of the big new features is the introduction of the LED back-lit screen:
LED back-lighting is touted to provide a more evenly lit screen with sharper images and colors without sacrificing battery life. All these I find to be true, the screen is without a doubt the best i’ve ever seen on a laptop, and better than a lot of desktop monitors I use. With the brightness up to full, even in the most well lit rooms, solid whites are almost blinding, which allows you to turn down the brightness and use less battery.
I was originally a Mac guy, switched to Linux as my desktop du jour, and then switched back with the MacBook, and I’m very glad I did.
