A new laptop

I am not used to having a Mac with me, but this time has changed.

For my work on VLC, someone helped the VideoLAN project and gave us some new laptops to improve the Mac OS version. I just got one of those, when I was at the FOSDEM.

Macbook

I have one of the white Macbook, 13.3" with a 2.2Ghz proc and 2Gb of Ram, running Leopard.

I upgraded to X.5.2 and Xcode 3.0. I installed VLC, Adium, FFX 3b3 and removed some Microsoft Office crap.

Impressions

I have very gladly impressed by the product, the finition and the OS X.

However, the keyboard is not that good and the keymap horrible. \ ~ | are more than difficult to produce, and the Terminal is very bad, especially if ou want to achieve pgUp, pgDown, End, Home in VIM, in the Terminal.

Else, it seems to be as good as a Linux DE, and has nice coverflow stuffs, and many tools like SVN installed by default. The background image is ugly but I like the 3D dock.

VLC

more later :D
