its better than i imagined!

haha so yeah i got my macbook today and i will say im LOVING osx, but ive noticed 2 issues

80gb isnt big enough since ilife is so huge and such so im going to have to get a new hd soon.. no biggie as was expected.

the other issue is something i knew but im going to miss having a memory card reader built in like my asus did but eh ill live

so yeah i love the mac and i want to do so much so far ive only been setting it up!!

thans sam and aurora for being such a help here

and yes this keyboard rocks once you get used to it!

 

I'm glad you love your new mac! You should update your sig

 

You're welcome! Be sure to enable the firewall... it's off by default. Oh, and update to 10.5.1!

 

Hey, congrats ceiph and you're very welcome!

Of course, in my usual fashion, I recommend the two links :

http://www.apple.com/support/switch101
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101

And just a note of interest, both AuroraS and I are named Sam. And same city too. And we both have MacBooks .

 

The "S" in "AuroraS" stands for Sam

I'm male, though... for all of you who don't know that (despite the fact that "Aurora" sounds girly)

 

I thought cori was a girl at first . And I never really asked you, but I assumed you were a guy until Gautam brought it up that he thought you were a girl .

 

I don't know anyone with a name of Aurora. I just imagined that thing in the sky. And the S for Sam?!? You gotta be kidding me...

Oh, and to the OP... I hope you enjoy your new Mac! I'm gonna get one pretty soon.

 

waaa? macs dun have memory card readers O_O
(i hope i didnt misread it..>)

 

Macbooks don't have built in memory card readers. But a simple Sandisk Mobilemate fixes that.

 

Yeah, unfortunately. I'd like a built-in memory card reader as well.

 

ah well ill live.. my other thought is earlier today my keyboard stopped responding... a restart fixed it and its been fine since than but any ideas why my keyboard wouldnt respond?

 

Did ALL of the keys stop responding? Or just most of them?

I was checking out a MB on display today at my campus Apple dealer... and I noticed that the MacBook had an unresponsive keyboard; all of the keys except the arrows and delete key did not work.

 

it was all the keys

 

Similar keyboard issues HERE.

 

I wonder how you'll feel once the "honeymoon" is over and you've been using OS X for awhile

Not to ruin the thread, but I'm on the edge of just wiping OS X off my MacBook and throwing Vista on it.

 

so part of me asks why!!!! but as i was about to type this my keyboard froze again....lol for some reason this time holding down a key worked but this isnt right

 

That's an odd problem. I'm having a weird keyboard problem too... although mine's totally different. Several keys on my keyboard require noticeably more force before the key registers.. (most notably DELETE, A, and the ' key)
I'm gonna see if I can get it replaced tomorrow.

 

Hmm...that is so odd, a keyboard going out intermittently. And it's all of the keys, not just a few?

Do you happen to notice anything else running when this happens? If possible, see if you can get a CPU/Memory monitor running and see what happens when the keyboard quits working. Also keep track of what apps are running too.
