For those who don’t know, I’ve been without a laptop for about 2 months now since I gave my PowerBook to my mom. Finally, Apple gave me what I’ve been waiting for.

The New Hotness - MacBook Pro

Here’s the details

  • MacBook Pro 15.4″
  • 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo
  • 2GB RAM
  • 200GB 7200RPM HD (upgraded from 5400RPM)
  • GeForce 8600M GT w/256MB GDDR3
  • Wifi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
  • Multitouch Trackpad

It should ship either Friday or sometime early next week.

Update: it is here and it is FAST! (and not nearly as hot as my old Powerbook [and by hot I mean temperature])

Of course, being a web developer, I could really use someone to throw work at every now and then. So, if you can design graphics worth a damn or know someone cool who can, please let me know. I can definitely provide work.

Since I already had two 19" Dell LCDs, I also had to buy a second graphics card for my Mac Pro. Of course, all the newer graphics cards have dual heads on them, so I now have four ports to play with. Obviously, that meant that I needed to plug in my old 18" no-name-brand LCD as a fourth display. But what do I do with four displays? Easy.

  1. 19" Dell #1 – Mail, full screen, always on
  2. 24" Dell – Anything I’m working on, so Safari, Firefox, Fetch or Transmit, Fireworks, TextMate, Terminal, etc
  3. 19" Dell #2 – iTunes, Adium (chat), Colloquy (IRC)
  4. 18" Old LCD – This one is the cool one. I used this technique to detach widgets from my Dashboard and put them there. This way, I’ve got weather for all the places I care about, all my stock quotes, and a calendar always on my screen.

I’m definitely happy with this new setup. Working with 1920×1200 pixels on my main display is great. I can actually put two windows next to each other and focus on both without having to switch between them.
