That's awesome, but:
How fast does it start Word 2008?
- PStamatiou 18y agoI'm encrypting the SSD at the moment so I wont get accurate results if I do it now, but I'll do it later today and report back.
- tortilla 18y agoA little off topic but how do you like the glossy screen on your MBP?
- PStamatiou 18y agoIt is a pretty big pain in the ass most of the time, but I don't have as much a problem with it as most people do. The glare is only troublesome if you focus on it, I just "filter it out" and I don't really have an issue with it. Granted, a lot of my MBP coding is done on a couch in my batcave-like living room so I don't have much glare to begin with. While on campus and in class though, the fluorescent lights do make the glare an issue and I was able to see the kid behind me staring at me through my screen the whole class. But on the upside, now I will never get stabbed from behind.
- elai 18y agoWhy didn't you get a refurb 2.6Ghz MBP with a matte screen instead?
- maximilian 18y agoBecause, I assume, he, like me, wanted the new hotness. I cheaped out and bought the macbook, but I could've gotten a faster matte MBP. I haven't minded the glossy yet. Its waaay brighter than my old matte screen and I usually forget its there. I still feel a bit torn about it though...lotsa pluses and minuses. Matte screens don't have such noticeable minuses unless you switch back.
- PStamatiou 18y agoagreed. why would i get an _old_ mbp? Most of the time I'm hooked up to my 24-inch dell anyways
- PStamatiou 18y agoOkay I just tested it - to open Word and no document it takes 4 seconds. To open a 5 page document from being closed it takes also about 4 seconds.
