Waste time with the MacBook Pro VR

I'm incredibly impatient, and there's nothing worse than eagerly waiting for a brand new speedy computer that's scheduled to arrive at your door in just days.

To kill time and ease the pain, I've taken a liking to playing with the MacBook Pro's QuickTime VR at Apple's website. Sure, it's a bit excessive and quite literally the virtual equivalent of tech pr0n, but it's a perfect way to build up excitement and admire the beauty that is MacBook Pro before you're fortunate enough to actually have one.

Hours of fun -- and you can get some great-looking angles.

Don't thank me. I'm just doin' my job.

I enjoy looking at these VRs, and enjoy this one too, but one TINY gripe i have, is that the shadow around the top of the keyboard is in fact the reflection of the screen when black, and the desktop image has of course been pasted on afterwards.

schoolboy error ;-)

But then again, the design and composition of the macbook pages on apples site seem a little more amateurish than the others. The black background really doesn't help.

I think you should create a new category called pr0n and put this under it. :-P

Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm afraid there is something worse than eagerly awaiting a brand new speedy computer that's scheduled to arrive at your door in a few days.

It's eagerly awaiting a computer that's scheduled to arrive at your door in a few *weeks* :(

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the battery power is going to be really good. I think this is another one of those things (like the speed upgrade) that Apple isn't letting us know so that it is that much better press when it is released.
