My new Laptop

Thu Oct 24, 2013 12:28 am

:D up until now I've been using a 17" MacBook Pro from 2009. 2.93GHz Dual Core, 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD + 320GB HD (No optical drive, swapped it for an SSD). 802.11n Wireless, 9600GT + 9400m Graphics.

In short it's old. I've been waiting for the new Apple notebooks for a long long time. Since about May this year. And on the 22nd they finally unveiled and released the new notebooks. And of course I've gone for the maximum specced one cause I'm an arabian prince.

15.4" Retina Display with a resolution of 2880x1800
2.6GHz "Crystalwell" Core i7 Intel Quad Core with Iris Pro graphics (Includes 128MB of eDRAM on the CPU)
16GB of Low Voltage DDR3 Memory @ 1600MHz
1TB PCIe based SSD Stick (Seriously, 1TB SSD!) @ 1GB/s read / 900MB/s write!
Dedicated 750m Graphics pre-overclocked by Apple to match the 760m in performance
802.11ac Wireless networking for 1.3Gb/s WiFi (I already have an 802.11ac router ready for this!)
Dual Thunderbolt 2 ports (20Gb/s each) + HDMI + Dual USB 3.0
Backlight Keyboard + Glass Trackpad + Glass Display Cover Glass

I cant wait to get my notebook, due to the customisations I did (2.3 to 2.6GHz CPU and 512GB to 1TB SSD) I had to order it online directly from Apple.com but it should be here between October 29th and November 1st.

I'd love to adopt you Psico but I kinda got my hands full here already :lol:

Benchmarks came out today of the 1TB SSD and it's actually 1GB/s read and 900MB/s writes. Insane.

Let's face the fact. Pri's actually just a monkey with gold hair.
He gets money by selling his hair on eBay and is sponsored by Apple for writing all this stuff about them.
