The MacBook Pro Unboxing.

Gotta love the apple packaging

What’s underneath the MacBook Pro

The stylishly designed document holder

The multi ended power supple cable (which if you didn’t know is held onto the Mac with a magnet, so no fear of breaking off the end of the power adapter if you were to trip over the cable, Clever I know !)

Well, in true geek style, I thought I’d take shots of the unboxing of the MacBook Pro.

btw, forgot to mention in my previous blog “Apple Day, Hurray !” , that we went to the Apple store, because the one I had ordered, was due to turn up on Wednesday, and I’m just far to impatient, got home, only to find it had been delivered and left with the neighbour ! I know, the irony ! However it did mean that both myself and C could start the Apple learning curve together.

Below is the shiny new one from the Apple Store

and here are the 2

So, on with the unboxing

Out of the box

The huge trackpad

The left hand side connectors

The SuperMutli Drive Slot

Such a nice Gloss Screen

The first switch on !

The welcome message

The backlit keyboard

Finally the lit up Apple logo on the back

Below is the now slightly over crowded computer room

However, C may have lost her MacBook to the cat, as he seems to think it’s his new bed, lol

Apple day ! Hurray !

Well, as planned, we went to the Apple store in Leicester after work today.

If you’ve never been to an Apple store before, then I can highly recommend it. If you asked me to describe what heaven looked like, it would be an Apple store.

We walked though the …… looking for the store as we’ve never venture to …. before. Walked through the carpark, through John Lewis (the store, not a person, LOL)….saw next, new look and the I saw it, no words outside the shop, just a huge 10 foot illuminated apple logo above the door. I swear, it was like seeing a roller coaster for the first time (as you can probably tell, this is the first time I’ve been to a Apple store, I know, I need to get out more)

Walking into the store itself, first table had 6 macbooks, all connected to Iphones,  next table had MacBook Pro’s both the 15″ and 17″ models all connected to Iphones, all with internet access.

Down the outside wall, there was just a wall of Imac 24″ s (so nearly bought one of them too).

The staff in there were chilled, very chilled, weren’t pushy and really helpful, Very very sweet place !

Anyway, to cut a long ish story short, we walked out of there is a 15.4″ MacBook Pro, a pair of the earbud headphones, a wireless mighty mouse, and a dock for my Ipod Touch
