MACBOOK PRO
It’s been several months since I recieved my final Macbook Pro Unibody from Apple, and despite my attempts to fall in love with this precision crafted piece of aluminum, I have encountered numerous problems since day one. As far as the physical form of the MacBook Pro, at least this one isn’t cut warped, with the screen hanging over theft side when closed like my previous model. However, everytime I rest my palms on the machine to type the left side wobbles because it is not level. I find myself, after hours of work, unwillingly pressing down on the left side in a rythmical pattern to unconsciously create a tapping beat. Annoying!
They lovely black chicklet style keys now maintain a greasy, almost luminescent glow thanks to the superior absorptive low grade paint Apple has decided to use. And, no. I am not a 200 lb computer geek that sweats Cheetos and fried chicken from my fingertips. My old Macbook Pro with the silver keys held up just fine.
IPHONE 3G
What can I say about the iPhone? I love it to death. Thank God for Jailbreaking! What can’t be done on the iPhone? Well, it can’t cook burgers and I can’t use it in the shower. Other than that the only inherent problem with the iPhone is the control iTunes/Apple have over it until it’s busted out of Jail.
Those of you who haven’t Jailbroken your iPhone yet. Shame on you. Go back to Motorola!
