Kill Bill, can you do a 1mb SuperPi test on ur MBP?

I'll search for what that means but eh it gives brilliant Fast Graphics, I would have went for an alienware if apple were selling the 256mb version as I need good vRam.

I think someone needs a tripod

jk, I realize theres no tripod for phones. I see you have one of those fanless cooling mat things. We sell them at our store, but I've had any experience with them. How is it?

Thats a nice laptop, though I personally wouldn't go for one. I dunno, I just don't like the looks of the macbooks, too simplistic looking. Plus I'm a sucker for shiny(especially piano black *drool*)

Jeez, all these laptop reviews, I'm tempted to put up a review of mine (since I have a feeling no one else would dare to post a review on a dell

)

The mat is fine but I'm going to get one with fans as the laptop is quite(even when playing latest games) And the macBook Pro actually is very shiny and I might phone the computer painters to paint my MBP Black if I want.

Dude, with pod cast capture, you can capture screen movement, no need to take pics with a digital camera.

So it does a decent job of keeping the macbook cool? I have a fanned mat and it lowers my temperatures by quite a bit.

When I mean shiny I mean like super glossy. My mom has a black macbook, and it looks alright, but again, super simplistic design and matte black*puke*(though it is much better than the matte white).

I didn't know there were places to paint computers, haha. It sounds expensive, especially for a laptop. I'd suggest piano black, like this

*drool*

dOES the macbook pro have a big laser eye that pops out of the isight and takes a picture of the entire machine? I'm very mislead by your comment

No with pod cast capture, which should be under /Applications/Utilities, you can capture what you do with your screen. So, say you wanted to make a quick how to video on using a utility. You can use screen capture to record what you are doing in your desktop in video format (or screen shots) then take it into imovie and edit it and add voice over to the whole thing.

It basically allows you to make custom pod casts. Pretty neat stuff.
