My new black MacBook…

…is so cool!  My new employer (The University of North Carolina at Greensboro) offered me the option of having either a PC or a Mac when I started my new job.  I got a 13″ black Macbook (with external display, keyboard & mouse for docked work).  I’ve gotta say that I am really pleased with this computer.  I was concerned about the glossy screen, since I’ve been using the MacBook Pro with the matte screen, but it doesn’t glare at all.  The biggest surprise to me is the keyboard.  I like it much better than the MacBook Pro.  The keys have a small gap between them, much more than the Pro.  It also has a better feel, I think.  I also like the latchless lid and all the ports on one side.  A fast, sleek machine.  With Parallels, it’s even a PC, too!
