After I first started using the MacBook I realized that this puppy is heavy. It weighs 6.6 pounds. For me this is acceptable because I don't travel often and I love the 17" screen.

I am not getting anywhere near 8 hours on the battery but I like to run at full speed and bright display.

I am running VMware Fusion with a 64 Bit Windows 7 bootcamp partition. This is acceptable but the speed of both Windows and Mac OSX are severely impacted when both OS's are running. Currently I am running 4 GB of RAM and I have split the RAM equal between both OS's.

Setting up Windows 7 via the bootcamp guided install was as easy or easier than setting up Windows 7 on a PC. The best part of the install is that all the Windows drivers are on the Mac OSX DVD that came with the system.

In my next post I will go over must have software for Mac OSX.

The specs of my current MacBook Pro are shown here.

First impressions are positive.  I have been using the 17" Mac Book Pro for about a month now and I have to say I love this system.  The hardware is absolutely the best I have use for a laptop.  Mac OSX, well let's say I run Windows 7 on this system using a bootcamp partition and it is very fast. 


This MacBook pro is built like a "Brick Sh&% House".  I think you could park a car on it.
