My favorite kind of judgment.

Behold:

Yes, gentlemen, behold the beast. I decided to go for the black model to go with my Tyrese. Hell, this is why I saved money isn't it? And hopefully, if I don't crank it to eleven the whole time, the extra space and power will help the computer last longer. The extra ram would have been very pricey, so I don't know what I'll do about that. We'll see. Anyway, the rundown.

Pro:

• Bitch is fine! Perhaps it's the envy I felt toward people when they those old black laptops (a la sex and the city), but that black casing is soooo pretty.
• The glossy screen looks gorgeous and all the images are startling crisp and attractive.
• Photobooth is a fun program and I really like the idea of using the camera for silliness and maybe video chats, but never will I use it as a mirror.
• Widgets are cooky and entertaining!
• It really was "plug and play." Granted, I had to take the time to set up Apple Care and download Acquisition and whatnot, but I basically turned it on and started doing what I needed
• Apple has very graciously allowed me to re-download every song I've ever purchased from iTunes, free of charge (after some haranguing).

Con:

• That sexy black finish shows off hand grease like woah.
• It gets rly rly hot.
  
• It's really not that fast. I couldn't ostensibly tell the difference in terms of program operation between my computer and my brother's older iBook. Websites loaded at about the same speed, iTunes opened at a similar clip, downloading at a similar velocity.
• I had a problem with several applications "unexpectedly quitting." AIM, iTunes, and photobooth all shut down mid-operation.
• Ummmm....last night I couldn't get any application to open and I had to restart it to get them to work.

So let me ask you this: do you think I got a lemon?

Any other questions?

F the summer, I'm staying home with my baby.
