MacBook Pro

Yep, it’s real now. The Powerbook I’ve been dreaming about. I followed the keynote via the news sites and started drooling at the simple textual representation of the news, detailed specs unseen.

Mind you, I’m not yet on the order list. I’m not in that big a rush. I give it a few months and let bleeding edge folks deal with the initial hiccups. I’m sure it’ll be a little while before a really viable way to run Windows on it arrives. I mean Windows in a window, not dual boot.

But it’s enough for me right now to know that it’s real and will be in peoples hands in the coming months. I expect just about every developer out there is going to want one of these babies. It’s sweet.

I may have to put a piece of tape over the built-in video camera though. Something about that kinda creeps me out!

    FWIW, the iMacs that have the built in iSight have a green light that
    comes on when the camera’s in use. I would expect something similar
    on the MacBook.

    Shouldn’t it be a red light. Right in the middle of the lens?

    That would be *so* five years ago.
