MacBook Pro

I ordered a MacBook Pro on January 10th, only a few hours after they were announced by Steve Jobs on stage. Today, the MacBook arrived. Here are the specs:

Here are the complete specs.

When my computer arrived, I took the obligatory photos of taking it out of the box. Here we go...


The box. Very nice and much more compact than my PowerBook box was 4 years ago.


After opening the box. Is that a complimentary muffin tray?


The contents. Computer, power adapter, DVI/VGA adapter, Apple Remote. Can't wait to start digging in.


The computer. Isn't it shiny?


A top view. The flash of the camera produced a nice gradient on the aluminum casing.


The bottom. The larger rectangle is the battery, and the smaller one above it is the memory compartment.


The battery and memory compartments. When I ordered the computer, I saved money by only getting 1GB of RAM from Apple and ordering another 1GB chip separately. This image was taken after I installed the second chip.


MagSafe power connector. Apple introduced a very cool magnetic power connector that pulls out harmlessly when the cord is tripped upon.


Opened and ready for ignition.


The Apple Remote. Useful for presentations, DVDs, music, iPhoto slideshows, and impressing your friends.


The Backlight. Now, I can see in the dark.

So, what can I do with all of this advanced technology? Well, here's one thing:

Navs Site

For the past few months, I've been working with some other people from Navigators to redo our web site. I was responsible for the programming part, including the photo albums and calendar and the behind-the-scenes stuff that allows staff to update those. We had a couple of graphic designers to make the site look good. We also had a couple other people involved who helped gather the content for the web site. Anyway, there's a screenshot below, following the aforementioned standards of browser screenshots.
