Swad Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The MacBooks have begun shipping (for some people), inciting shouts of joy and triumph from (a few) new and old Mac users alike (in a couple of lucky places around the globe). While many soon-to-be-MacBook-owners have had their notebooks delayed by a week or so, a few people – such as Jason O’Grady – are busy freeing their new toys from their origami packaging and taking them for a drive. If you aren’t getting a MacBook, or if the one you’ve ordered is delayed, check out O’Grady’s pictures of the MacBook’s packaging in the meantime. Apple does a lot of things right, and one of those is packaging. Are you getting a MacBook? When you do, tell us what you think!

Swad Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 "Package Porn" is what happens with Apple packaging when people publish pictures of every step of the unpacking process. Basically, just a bunch of pictures for you to drool over.

Captain Ahab Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 And hard'CORE' porn - where you see the processor on its back with its pins in the air. Oh, wait a minute, the 775 doesn't have pins. Well you get the idea Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9565-macbooks-ship-plus-package-porn/#findComment-59655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The macbook is nice, but it's not as nice as the hype makes it out as. Plain gray... I prefer Sony's Vaio styling. Then again, the macbook has the advantage of being what OSx86 was built for...

PoconoPCDoctor Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 My ship date is March 4th. I was upgraded to a MacBook 2.0 Ghz from 1.83. Coming from the world of DOS/Windows to the Mac world is going to be an adventure and more than a bit of fun. Although I have some Mac experience, I decided to go full out to learn everything I could - I also happen to work in an evironment where Mac support is needed, so this will help me in my job as well. I am waiting for the new iPod to ship before completely joining the "cult of Mac." Then, I shall be one with the Woz. www.poconopcdoctor.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9565-macbooks-ship-plus-package-porn/#findComment-59799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thats good news about the battery life - especially considering the lack of mention of it at macworld. I'm guessing that was one of the things they were working on over the last couple of months.

cyrana Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I agree, it looks great for what I would need it for. Super thin, 5.5lb/2.2kg, and good battery life...and runs OS X.
