It&#039;s here! The MacBook is here!

If the title isn't clear enough: My MacBook Pro has arrived.

I am currently in a euphoric world of speed and beauty, and if I were enjoying myself any more this little laptop would probably be dubbed an illegal narcotic by the Food and Drug Administration and I'd be thrown in jail for substance abuse.

Anyway -- I'm unpacking and settling myself in, and I plan to put this thing through its paces over the next few days. I intend to post a First Impressions, but instead of going with things that simply pop into my head, I want to know: What do you want to know about Apple's first Intel notebook?

Post anything you'd like me to test/examine/report on in the comments and I'll compile them all and post a quickie review as soon as I can.

Performance of Adobe CS and Flash 8 studio under Rosetta, as compared to native performance on the G4/G5, if you please. I.e., do they suck so bad that I'll end up using the MacBook to bludgeon myself to death if I don't wait until Adobe gets off its butt and releases Universal versions?

Please can you download the Propellerheads Reason 3 demo and tell us if the demo songs play OK under Rosetta?

For those not in the know, Reason is a virtual music studio containing synths, samplers, effects etc all in a virtual rack with dangling cables.

thanks,

Andy
