haha, welcome to the world of mac! i absolutely love my macbook pro (15.4″)! and yes it’s freaking hot. it helps if you stay in an air-con room when you’re working on it (i have a phobia that my mac would overheat on me one day! oh you can download Mplayer to play your videos. it plays .vob format as well – which i absolutely love since it means i can rip out DVDs easily.

cheers.

Sonkun – Thanks for the tip and the compliment. I have no qualms about the double-finger-for-right-click gesture, except that when I switch over to my VAIO, I find myself double-finger tapping. I’ve since discovered Sidetrack which allows me to set the lower-right corner of the trackpad to call up the context menu. This way, I right-click with my thumb the same way I would on my VAIO.

Skye – Yeah, ASC is cool. I have something similar on my VAIO.

Martin – Thanks for the link. Cool blog.

Lancerlord – Hahaha. Reason #3 was the driving incentive.

Val – Nah, CTRL+click is too troublesome for me. Sidetrack’s the way to go.

Inex – Thanks for the links. Pretty cool stuff over there.

Thebee – And I’m the other way round, though admittedly, I’ve been spending more time on the Mac lately getting it customized the way I like it.

Serene – You are right about the static on the MBP; I could feel my hair on ends if I’ve got it on my lap. Good cat deterrence, though. =P

the ibook may be small and slow(er), but it doesnt heat up that much. i swear i thought i could feel an electric current run through my palms a few times when i used a macbook pro. eeks! i heart my ibook. and it’s extinct!

Enjoy your Mac. I use PC at work, but at the end of the day I go home to my Mac. :D

about damned time!

ps. pressing ctrl to get the right click function isn’t too much of a bother for me.

pps. remember not to shut down your mbp. apples are built to do self-maintenance daily at some synchronised hour. that in itself, is a big enough reason for me to stay an applette. defrag? pfft!

3rd and 4th reasons are good enough reasons to make the switch. No need to wait for the first 2 reasons :)

*smirk* heh heh..

the MacBook heats up just as much..and as a classmate once put it, the day after he bought his MacBook and brought it to use in class..”it can burn my balls siah!”

anyway, there’s alot of stuff Mac OS can do, like the active corners thingy..which I’m pretty sure you’d have already/you’ll already find out..=)
