Just bought a new MacBook Pro. yum.

Haven't been into the town centre for ages and popped in today. Had a look round the Macs and there was a price list starting at £999.99 by the MacBook Pro section.

They had a couple of the old £1299.99 laptops at £999.99, then had wink 1 £1599.99 laptop at £1099.99. After wandering around a bit and checking the specs i decided to purchase it.

£500 off. 2.4ghz, 2gb ram, is about the same spec as my home machine. However soon i can afford Aperture for photo work. I have a lead so i can plug my guitar straight in. The backlit keyboard is good and after installing Leopard its doing well and i'm interested to learn the new features.

I had a 867 G4 powerbook with 512mb but it started to slow to a crawl so i built a windows pc a year ago as i couldn't afford to buy another mac at the time, so it nice to have a mac again.

The PC has constant fan noise but the MBP is nice and quiet cloud9.

Are there any cool or useful features i should know about? ears
