I keep procrastinating taking pictures, so I decided to TRY to do a Project 365.
First time I've picked up my camera in 3+ months.
Day 2; let me know what you think.

Looks pretty good :). But I'm thinking to move a little more to the left and look a little more towards the right.

I'd prefer it more if the focus was mainly on the keys rather then the tabs/text, which camera are you using might i ask..and also i was thinking about getting me a macbook pro in the future how is it ?

The focus was on the "MacBook Pro" label.
I use a Canon 450d.
And that was my friends MacBook, so I can't give you any opinion on that unfortunately :[

I've heard it's a good computer, but if you're a gamer, then no.

Sorry but I think it could have been taken with a phone, because there isn't really any clear focus. Taking pictures of a computer screen will never work in combination with a low-light area.

yeah right how many games have been made for mac? The last time I checked many of the new games are only made for the consoles and PC.
Besides just like every other Mac products it's waaaaaay overpriced and overhyped :rolleyes:
and it is almost impossible to upgrade them so have fun buying a new one every year. I have to say I am pretty impressed by Apple's marketing department because despite
the high price and obvious inferiority compared to PC there are still ppl buying those crap.

Well.. Steam now supports OsX ;)

It's overhype'd yes. But it's actually not a whole lot more pricier then other competing laptops in the same market (Base 13"MBP).

I'm a hardcore pc user as most around here knows, and i brought a MacBook Pro for my traveling needs. Being portable, long battery life and well built are 3 of my biggest concerns. I needed more processing power then an Atom can provide so naturally i avoided the netbooks. So Mac comes to mind, most notebooks flex when you pick them up with the screen open, not so with the unibody MBPs, i've pull 9 hours from a single charge at one time.. but i still average 7 hours doing low cpu bounded work.

And you can actually upgrade these things. I brought the lowest model of the 13" MacBook pro since i know it'll be cheaper to get that and upgrade rather then buying the more expensive version. I brought it and since then have upgraded from 2gb of ram to 4gbs. Upgraded the stock 160gb 5400rpm drive for a seagate 500gb 7200 2.5" drive. I'm contemplating on getting a 256gb SSD in the near future.

Apple is actually pretty competitive in the notebook market. The Mac Pros (Desktop) is where it's overpriced.

I don't feel the need to game on the go so that wasn't a concern at all when getting a OSX equipped machine, but it will be able to if i wanted.

Customer service has also been top-notch every time i needed assistance. I say this from experience, been dealing with numerous tech companies the past 7 to 8 years i've been building computers.
