MacBook Pro
I just got my reward for finishing bioinformatics: a brand new, shiny MacBook Pro 15.4″!
I’m really satisfied with it. The only drawback I have noticed so far is that it gets quite warm, but that is usual with modern laptops, I think. I spent the last days installing stuff, setting up Windows XP in a parallels-VM (yeah, I figure I will have to work with Windows stuff), setting up Windows XP using Apple boot camp (for those programs that don’t run in a VM) and installing more stuff.
I also upgraded my RAM myself, because the Mac Ram is ridiculously overpriced. I read in a review that Apple used “world’s tiniest screws” for the cover. I really have to confirm this. Fortunately I also own “world’s tiniest screwdriver” 
.
I also updated my blog, but I seem to have lost the pictures I had uploaded. Sorry for that…
