I upgraded to a Mac Mini recently and hawked my MacBook Pro off on Craigslist. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in speed especially when I’m running Aperture or Photoshop. I got the server version, with the quad core i7 because both those programs make pretty good use of all the cores.

Ok, so I gave in and jumped on the bandwagon…

And bought myself a Mac. I’ve been a long-time holdout, not because I don’t like Mac computers, but because there hasn’t been a laptop that they make that came quite close enough to fit my needs. I wanted a smaller form factor; the Fujitsu laptop that I am replacing has a 11” screen and an enormous battery life. The Fujitsu was before the “netbook revolution” so it was a fairly fast computer for the level of portability that it offered (at the time). I just got sick of waiting for a 11” Macbook pro or a new Macbook Air, so I picked up this guy.
