MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15 inch wide screen 4 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM 320 GB Serial ATA @ 5400 SuperDrive 8x (DVD+RDL/DVD/+RW/CD-RW)

:D

This is my first mac, so i'm still getting a bit used to some of the interface 'quirks'. If anyone has any tips, they'd be appreciated (ie. how do i switch between two windows using the keys...in windows its ALT + TAB...)

Re: my new toy :)

cmd + tab = alt + tab :D

Re: my new toy :)

It's kinda irritating because cmd+tab only switches applications, not specific windows. I had to use Witch which enables alt-tab to switch windows. And unfortunately cmd+tab cannot be remapped, otherwise I'd use Witch and set cmd+tab to switch windows and get rid of the old cmd+tab which is useless to me.

Re: my new toy :)

F3 + arrows will let you navigate between all open windows

Re: my new toy :)

thanks guys. gotta say this is one sexy piece of machinery. i'm still a pc-lover, but this thing is slick...

Re: my new toy :)

check out hot corners.... you can find it in system prefs under the desktop and screensavers, with this you can set up the functions most use the f12 and f 11 keys for ...ie show desktop our show all windows or start screen saver or show all work areas

Re: my new toy :)

yea, what they said.

expose spaces hot corners

oh, and (apple)+tab - switch apps

never going back to PC-only, although I still have one laptop

Re: my new toy :)

nice one Jeff, Kudos on making the transition. I hope to make mine some day. I just got my wife a Sony Vaio notebook (she saw mine and wanted one, plus her old notebook is on its last leg of survival).

64 Bit X 2 Core 3.4 GHZ, 4 gb RAM, Vista Premium, Crimson Red colored case.

Re: my new toy :)

control + click on the touch pad clicker = right click

control + two finger scroll on the touch pad = zoom in or zoom out

Re: my new toy :)

^ and the three-finger swipe ... and you can just use two fingers to zoom in and out.

nice! thats a badass machine as well (minus the vista, i suppose...)

i just couldn't resist the new macbook pro's...talk about minimal design. really love the fact that this thing will pretty much run every damn program i could think of without so much as lagging. ableton 7 runs like butter...

i'm getting logic pro as well, really looking forward to that after seeing my friend play around with it on his mac!

Re: my new toy :)

Now enjoy hacking the interface and all your app icons, system icons, dock, etc. [URL="http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewforum.php?id=2"]Macthemes[/URL] is great for that. :twisted:

yeesh, with the current CAD to USD exchange rate, plus shipping, that thing is like $130 for me...don't think i can justify it, despite how awesome it looks!

awesome, thats just like holding down control on a pc and then scrolling with the mouse. handy one to know!

Re: my new toy :)

way to step the game up, macs are sic, i'm buying a pro soon as well. I dig my macbook core duo 2 13.5" though because its just a solid smaller laptop, very portable. I upped the ram recently myself, it was super easy.
