Sarlacc I'm sure you remember the little debate we had months ago about how I said the screen of the macbooks weren't anywhere near as good as the MBP I even took pics of the two to compare their differences, you responded that I was fucking idiot, etc etc. I then provided a review from anandtech in which they agreed with me. You then said that I stole the opinion from them and that I was too dumb to come up with an opinion on my own and that they were wrong. Well as you can see here Engadget also has the same opinion as I do on the MB screens compared to the MBP that is they're the suxor!!! Now throw in this whole glossy only screen and I agree with them again that it is almost a deal breaker.
Wow...hold on much? I hadnt remembered until reading this because I have other more important things in life happening.
And the jury decision still stands, You are a fucking idiot.

dang it, ordered it the day after it was released as soon as the store was back up, and it's still not here 
tracking says it went from china, to japan, to alaska, to kentucky. Sure an odd path to get to Hawaii.
finally has a scheduled delivery date of tomorrow. Maybe I should've just gone to a store since I really didn't configure anything, but I guess I wouldn't have gotten the educational discount.

yea, i bought it without even going to go look at it. I'm glad i've heard nothing but good reviews. It sounds like it feels more solid, and lighter than almost any other laptop.
I could've gone to check one out this past week, but since I already ordered it, I figure I want the first one for me to hold to be my own. I guess it's like waiting for marriage to lose your vcard, but on a much smaller scale

i have both but haven't had problems with the mighty. My students mess them up though because they believe they have to click on the trackball all the time instead of click on all that other white space on the mouse. Track ball has been going strong for well over a year now.
Also I teach one click unless the student just can't break their PC ways and i'll set the mouse up for right click.[ but honestly that has only happened like once]

I think the track ball was a nice little feature. I just haven't seemed to have any luck with them.

I shipped it to my office though, and am going to wait until I get home to open it. It is like christmas in October
I think this is my first brand new computer. Or well at least that I didn't have to build myself.

If Macs are SO great, why do they need keys? Shouldn't they just 'know' what I want to type and have it appear on the screen?
listen if Jobs went around pissing away all his secrets all at once, the company would be awesome for about a week. Keyless notebooks have actually been designed and function, it's just stipulated in his contract they can't be released until he either A: Dies B: Cuts everyone's hands off. lucky for us A is seemingly more likely.
