The New MacBook Pros - 40% faster!

My MacBook Pro is fast, but there's no such thing as a computer that's too fast. The fact that the new one is 40% faster than my current one makes me drool. Anyone interested in buying a 15" MacBook Pro with 2 GB of RAM? ;-)

Are you selling it for 40% off the price of a new one? :)

Hi Matt, I'd be interested in your MacBook Pro? What are you asking?

I don't know what I'm asking yet - according to eBay, it looks like going for around $2K+. Make me an offer. ;-) I can dig up the full specs if you like.

I'm curious if there's anyone like me who still develops in the windows world and is hesitant to move to a MAC. Is my situation like others? At work, my choice of a laptop was a Hobson's choice because our helpdesk doesn't support MACs. At home, I needed two computers and - being on a budget - I build two high performance barebone PCs for about $900 total.

But now, i'm doing some freelancing so I have the opportunity to use some of my budget towards a MacBook because it seems that's the best way to do these days. I'm afraid of the O/S learning curve. I'm afraid of losing development time because i have to learn how to get around on the MAC. Can anyone share their experience?

Hey JR, I was in your position about 6 months ago. I've been doing Java development for about 10 years, and have always used Windows. The shop I'm in now uses Solaris for all of our deployments, and I wanted to develop on something closer to that. I picked up a MacBook Pro in May, lured by the option of running Windows on it if all else failed. I've been completely enamored with it ever since then. Whenever I do have to use the occassional Windows app, I start up Parallels, boot into Boot Camp, or just remote desktop into my Windows machine.

The awesome style and usability of the OS X interface, coupled with the underlying power of the Unix innards make it a great development tool for me. I'd have to say my productivity has increased by 25% ( using my very scientifc measurements).
