Hello Mr.Mac!

Finally got a laptop for work, and man,the wait was surely worth it! A MacBook Pro! With a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB ram, a 256 MB Nvidia 8600 card, 200 GB hard disk, DVD Writer and so on, the MBP is a beast of a laptop, easily one of the fastest ones around.
Sadly, IT supports only Tiger and thus there’s no multi-touch support, no Spaces, no Boot Camp (Come on!I need Windows to play games and exploit that Nvidia card! Plus to run that useless but indispensable app called Internet Explorer) It’s a bit weird to have just one mouse button but hopefully will get used to that. And although OS X is based on Unix, certain updates do require system restarts.

    Got here just now. I’d like to know where you got it from and for how much.
    Btw why no multi-touch?

    As i said in the post, it’s my official laptop and not my personal one :) Yahoo! gave it to me. The only official Apple store in Bangalore is in the same building as my office (UB City) and they have all the models including the Macbook Air. You can check for approximate prices here http://apple.co.in/store/
    And i have multi touch now that I have upgraded to Leopard. Tiger is the older version of OS X and lacks a few features although the hardware supports it.
