Unboxed it this morning. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet until now...

It's pretty damn beautiful to say the least.

First website was to firefox to get their browser, second was here.

It's my first Mac and first time with Firefox.

Any suggestions for me to make the transition from PC/IE7 to Mac/FF easier?

Give safari a chance, I really like it.

Transcend knows nothing

I did the same thing you did last year. Couldn't be happier. There is nothing to help with the switch besides using it a lot.

 

[IH8Rice]

you mean you werent using FF on your PC??

Nope, I was an ignorant idiot using everything Microsoft.

I spent about 10 minutes thinking my screen was defective as it kept dimming, then getting brighter.

Then I figured out the cap I was wearing was shading the ambient light sensor...
:huh:

I spent a bit last night transferring data over from my old hard drive, then personalizing.

Another one for Safari.

Congrats.

I hate the ambient light sensor! if you go into your battery settings you can customize it so the brightness never changes.

I'm sorry but what is your reason for liking it?

 

[Toshi]

uh, because it saves battery life by adjusting brightness to ambient light conditions?

Why would you want to save battery life when it is plugged into the wall? I would rather have my brightness 100% all the time when looking at pictures, and I can adjust it when I need to save battery.

 

[Transcend]

100% brightness? Do you like having your eyes seared, especially when the room gets darker?

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

Only time 100% gives me problems in a dark room is when it's dark for a few hours, then I open my laptop. I usually set it to 50% then work my way brighter as my eyes adjust.

 

[Damo]

If I am working in the dark, I wouldn't want a bright screen. There goes your 'night vision'. However, that was more true when I didn't have a backit keyboard. Looking down from the screen, you couldn't see the keys.

I kinda like the self adjusting brightness.

This Mac rocks.

 

[Transcend]

The lit keyboard and gestures on the trackpad are 2 huge advantages for me. I love them. I use 2 finger and 3 finger gestures non stop (swipe for back especially when using the web and 2 finger scroll as well).

Actually, those are both huge safari bonuses as well, as I do not believe you can do swipe in safari?

 

[Damo]

I'm still learning my way around this computer, but fully understanding why Mac users love them.

You don't hear PC users going on about their PCs do you?...

That's because Mac users are poofs for the most part.

I use 1 finger gestures non stop
