I've had a Mac 12" powerbook for several years and have taken it everywhere with me. But it's getting to the end of its natural life, and no longer has the power to handle the new photography software I need to use. So I'm hoping to get a new computer in January, 2007.

I'll be getting a real beauty! (And I get an educational discount.)
15" silver MacBook Pro
  • 2.33GHz Intel Core Duo processor
  • 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
  • 160GB Serial ATA drive
  • 15.4-inch (diagonal) 1440x900 widescreen TFT display
  • ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM and dual-link DVI
  • Full-size, illuminated keyboard with ambient light sensor
  • Lightweight aluminum alloy
  • ExpressCard/34 slot
  • Aperture (photography software) preinstalled
  • 14.1 inches by 9.6 inches by 1 inches -- 5.6 pounds
Total Cost: $2,538.00
A picture named macbookpro.jpg also included:

  • Slot-loading SuperDrive with double-layer read support (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
  • Built-in 54-Mbps AirPort Extreme wireless networking (based on 802.11g standard)
  • Built-in Bluetooth 2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) up to 3 Mbps
  • 55-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery with integrated charge indicator LEDs
  • 60W MagSafe Power Adapter with cable management system
  • One FireWire 400 port (up to 400 Mbps)
  • Two USB 2.0 ports (up to 480 Mbps)
  • Built-in stereo speakers
  • Built-in omnidirectional microphone
  • Built-in iSight camera with 640-by-480-pixel resolution
  • Combined optical digital audio input/audio line in (minijack)
  • Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack)
  • Built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45 connector)
  • Mini-DVI port
  • Kensington cable lock slot

Sure, it's more than I need to do Drug WarRant. But I also do a lot of other things with my computer, including graphic design and photography work, so I need some power, yet I love the portability of being able to take a laptop with me everywhere.

Any help at all is appreciated.
