New Macbook Pro: Computer Nirvana

Posted on by

I just got a new Macbook Pro.  Wow.

The packaging is unbelievable.  Seriously.  I wanted to cry when I was opening the box.  The computer is just sitting there waiting for you, even staring at you with its puppy dog face.  It was one of the happiest moments of my life.

And I thought the packaging was good … The computer is awesome.  Insanely beautiful.  Sleek.  Mysterious.  Exotic.  Take every good adjective, add them up, and that sum can only partially describe my first impression of the new Macbook Pro.  Apple, the world would not be as beautiful, in reach, or fun without you.

I want to run around the streets of Berlingame (where the Cloudera office is), skipping with glee and joy and excitement, while bumping “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham! on my shoulder mounted boom box.

    i felt the same way. it took a second to get used to the new trackpad, but i use a normal mouse at the desk anyway.

    enjoy!

    I had the same feeling. It was like the exhilaration of every Christmas compressed into the opening of one box. And the computer kicks ass. :)

    Know the feeling, we got one too! Jim really turned me on to the Mac world. Too bad my big iMac keeps going belly-up, though. Really nice computer, but not so reliable.

    That’s too bad to hear, Mr. George! My family has an iMac, and they’ve had nothing but success. Perhaps you got a sour apple? Regardless, glad Jim has shown you the light :).
