I got my very first Mac yesterday and I love it, hardware wise. I’ll just give the complete specs and details before long because I’m planning to write a review about it. Software wise, OS X Leopard is just too bloated for me. Forgive me Apple fans; I’m just used to the blazing speed of Xubuntu running on my 2 year old main computer, and I intend my new Macbook Pro to replace my ageing primary machine.
I have listed here some key Macbook Pro components that I hope will work on Hardy.
# Video
# Screen Colors
# Sound/Audio & Microphone
# Wireless
# Temperatures & Fan Speed
# Power Consumption
# Keyboard
# Function Keys
# Touchpad (Multi-touch)
# WebCam
# Access OS X, & Network Shares
# Allow Writing to HFS+ (OS X) Partitions
# Apple Remote Control
For now, I’ll wait for the distribution release of Ubuntu 8.04 scheduled to be unleashed at the end of April. And, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
UPDATE:
I made a review of Hardy Heron on Macbook Pro (Penryn) HERE.
