And it is fast, fast, fast. It blows the piddly G4 in my Mac Mini completely out of the water.</p> <p>I had a little bit of a fright when I first powered it on. I had read a review on TUAW that said there was a high-pitched hiss coming out of the back hinge area. I&#8217;m kind of sensitive to those sorts of hisses (my doctor tells me I&#8217;m a ferrari, high performance and very sensitive to improper care) and I tend to get headaches pretty easily. Well, as soon as I powered up the MacBook Pro, it was unmistakable. I could feel the whine in my teeth. For a second, I completely sank&#8230; But I figured once I cleared my desk and found a good place to dock it, I might not notice it anymore. Well, I&#8217;ve been using it for a couple of hours straight and I haven&#8217;t heard the whine come back since the first few minutes after startup.</p> <p>The new iPhoto is crazy fast&#8230; Quicksilver is so fast that I think it&#8217;s reading my mind. I&#8217;ve had a little bit of fun playing around with Photo Booth (see pic above, click image to see a few more). Not much else to report so far&#8230; It took over an hour and a half to move my music, photos, and movies over. I do like the 2-finger scrolling on the trackpad. I do not like the fact that the bottom of this thing gets pretty damn hot&#8230; Kind of makes it a &#8220;laptop&#8221; in the loosest sense of the word &#8220;lap&#8221;. Won&#8217;t be in my lap during a Texas summer.</p> Thu, 23 Feb 2006 19:21:00 -0800 urn:uuid:779249f7-1149-4d16-9d53-339080f2df6e Scott Hughes http://blog.globalreset.org/articles/2006/02/23/my-macbook-pro-is-here Technology MacBookPro PhotoBooth <p>my macbook pro has the hissing noise, everyone complain or else apple won&#8217;t do anything about it.</p> Thu, 09 Mar 2006 13:23:24 -0800 urn:uuid:64fbdef9-e379-4fd5-8189-244b9a581a39 http://blog.globalreset.org/articles/2006/02/23/my-macbook-pro-is-here#comment-290 <p>I agree with Erik.

You should put a warning on the main page for mature audiences only!</p> Thu, 23 Feb 2006 20:53:36 -0800 urn:uuid:3874eada-7739-45ec-8ec4-e7189b633219 http://blog.globalreset.org/articles/2006/02/23/my-macbook-pro-is-here#comment-265
