Got my Mac book pro yesterday :)
 
13" 2.53ghz version.

Installed all the updates - 750mb :rolleyes:

then photoshop cs4, iwork 09 and a few other things

set up wifi

closed the lid to sleep over night and this morning it was awake and connected to my router without hesitation :D

Really chuffed :)

Nice! If it's your first the Command key is the Alt key and the # key is Right Alt + £ everything else should be self explanatory.

Just though I'd save you a trip to Google.

ChefDude 18 March 2010 10:11 AM

lol, thanks jack - i've got a mac mini and a 10.6.2 hackintosh quad core 3ghz too :D

JackClark 18 March 2010 12:05 PM

No worries I think I got it wrong anyhow :)

< waits for the "haters" to appear >

It does mildly amuse me when you connect 10.6 up and see how many updates there are. Having said that, the majority of the size markup for that would have been 10.6.2, as that is a pretty large one.

Expect another large update within the next couple of weeks as 10.6.3 is nearing the end of development by all accounts.

ChefDude 18 March 2010 01:12 PM

wonder what 10.6.3 will bring to the table?

Markus 19 March 2010 11:54 AM

Bug fixes, support for iPad, and that'll be pretty much it.

Good luck - My MBP just went bang. Seriously not happy... Graphics card apparently... You just forget how much you rely on these damn laptops.

I use mine to earn my living and even with the AppleCare I'll be without it for 7-10 days it seems :(

Dedrater 20 March 2010 12:05 AM

Can you not just buy another, sort everything out, work wise, then return it? Not fit for purpose etc

ChefDude 20 March 2010 11:42 AM

ouch

was it a new one post mid 2009?

RichB 24 March 2010 09:04 AM

It was an mid 2008 (not unibody), I am very disappointed it only lasted 18 months.
New logic board required, £325 + £40 repair + VAT - AppleCare has paid for itself.

Dedrater - I did consider that but to be fair, I dropped the machine off on Saturday at 4pm and was picking it up again on Monday at 5.30pm, can't really complain about the turn around time.

It would be nice if Apple with their billions of cash would supply 'loan' machines or even post the machine back to you. I live 40 miles from the Apple store so it's cost me £40 on top in fuel and parking...

STi wanna Subaru 24 March 2010 11:04 AM

80 miles on £30 odd quid of fuel?!

ChefDude 24 March 2010 11:13 AM

he said fuel and parking - could be NCP rip off parking ;)

or he drives a veyron... or a sunseeker lol

RichB 24 March 2010 01:09 PM

LOL - its 80 miles twice!

STi wanna Subaru 24 March 2010 01:44 PM

Ah! :D you cant factor in the first lot of fual and parking :p ;)

RichB 24 March 2010 09:18 PM

I went (wife dragged me and daughter) to Ikea after on the second trip so it cost me even more.... :(
