I wrote some initial thoughts on my new MacBook Pro (MBP) at end of last week and now, ten days on, I think it's time to write some more about the machine in use.

At the moment, I'll concentrate on its desktop use for the simple reason that it's never left my desk, been off it's power cord, or disconnected from the second 20" LCD that I use with it. In essence, it's moved less than my iMac Intel Core Duo, which at least moved from the right desk to the left when the MBP arrived.

Overall, I'm very happy. It's very quick - I would say slightly snappier and more responsive than my iMac, which has a slower processor and faster disk. I mentioned this before and actually just assumed it was the 'new silicon' smell giving me a false impression. My unit has 2GB (just like the iMac) which obviously helps.
