I’m angry.

The new Macbook is everything I wanted when I decided to switch a few years back.

The new MacBook is really a 13″ MacBook Pro. It uses the same design, and same manufacturing quality. Bridging the gap between consumer and professional model.

Weighing at 2kg, it’s light, thanks to the new aluminum unibody build. Even my current Macbook Pro weighs 0.5kg more and trust me, 500g makes a lot of a difference.

One of the reasons why I initially went with a Macbook is because of its size, I’d much rather have a 13″ than a 15″ because to me, a portable is exactly what it is: it’s a portable. I want to be able to carry it around without it adding a lot to the total weight I have to carry.

Also because of the fact that I want to carry it around everywhere, it’s bound to take a lot of punishment and abuse to the frame. My MBP has held up really, really well, I think if I didn’t throw in the original plastic Macbook I had for a MBP, there would have been severe cracks and everything by now. Actually it’s a miracle my MBP has survived thus far without any damage to its frame and body. I keep it in my backpack and it gets thrown around a lot. I used to fall on my back with the backpack, essentially crushing it.

Another reason why I upgraded to a MBP is because I couldn’t put up with the mediocre graphics performance any longer.

The new unibody takes care of weight issue, and the durability issue. The fact that the Macbook has a GeForce 9400 in it takes care of the graphic performance issue as well.

Ugh, if only I waited two years.
