Looks like I'm in a Mac household now

• gorocks99

  

  The GF got a present from her parents of a MacBook Pro and it was time to retire the old desktop (was going on 7 years which, for a $400 Dell from 2004 with one RAM upgrade, and one crappy flat panel monitor, is pretty impressive). Now we have the MBP, and an HDMI cord hooking up to a new 22" LCD. It will take me a little while to get used to the Apple - I have used them before for school but never as a home PC.
  
  Any suggestions from other Mac users, other than I can now act like a pompous ass with my awesome new mac powers?

  Smelling your own farts and making sure everyone knows you enjoy it, is usually the best place to start.

  I recently discovered these wooden skins for MacBooks, ipads, ipods.
  
  Looks slick..

  That looks like shit.

  I agree that those wood skins look absolutely terrible.

  That image is obviously chopped. I'd have to see a better photo before purchasing. Anything will look better than that I have now. The outside case has been through its share of wear and tear.

  Nice site. Unfortunately they only have covers for the newer unibody MBs. I'd much rather have a case though than actual skin.

  I'd be surprised if your computer didn't look like this

  Haters abound. Macs rule. I have a speck soft touch shell on my Macbook pro. Mac far better than any PC I have ever used!!

  Mine is similar to this. It's an incase, not speck, but the same general idea. Mine is clear.

  I don't have a Mac because I'm not a douche and know how to take care of my computer.
  
  hope this helps

  I'm not sold on Apple desktops, but their laptops are top notch.
  
  For the price of their desktops you could build your own beast of a PC with better specs.

  If you knew anything about computers, you'd realize how bad Apple rips off their customers with price to performance.
  
  so what I'm getting at is I can afford one, and I can build twice the PC that any Mac is for the same price.

  Spec wise yes....I've heard that argument over and over and over.

  Watch out for Cry4FAIL, as this is a personal attack and deserves an infraction /sarcasm.
