Upgrades and Updates - New Macbook Pro Santa Rosa

With the announcement of the new Macbook Pro’s I saw it as a great time to upgrade from my trusty 5 year old 12” 1.33Ghz Powerbook.

My first impressions are: “WOW”.  But really, what other reaction can I have coming from a Powerbook?

Basic specs:

• 2.2Ghz Santa Rose (Previous Gen) Core 2 Duo
• 4GB Ram (OH YEAH!)
• 120GB HD
• 128MB Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT
• 15.4” Glossy Display (Sooo glad I didn’t go Matte…)

I’m still loading it up and being download happy but from my initial usage there are no downsides at all.  After I’m done setting everything up and get a few more days of usage under my belt I’ll post a more thorough review.
