TUAW Unboxes the new MacBook Pro
It would seem that everyone is buzzing about the new MacBook/Pro, so I went and bought one! Seriously, it was just to do the unboxing photos for TUAW (Really! Stop looking at me like that!). In the MacBook video, Apple tells us that they have reduced the size of the boxes that the MacBooks ship in ... they're not kidding either. The boxes are roughly the thickness of a ream of paper; and they're almost half as short as the old boxes.
Take a look for yourself and see the new box design (it's quite nice). We want to know if you will buy a new MacBook Pro so be sure to take part in our poll below.

I bought a 15" on Monday. It is my first Mac. I love it so far.

Not happy, though, about the moved SuperDrive, and the loss of a FireWire port. Not happy at all about that. There is no alternative, though. MBP is the only notebook worth owning.

It's only the MB's that don't.
I'm getting the top of the line Macbook! This generation, the two computers are so similar it made sense for me to get the Macbook over the Pro. The only real difference is the GFX Card which I don't need (plus the 9400M isn't bad.) I can live with a smaller screen too; I'll just by a 22"-24" monitor.
