MacBook unwrapping!
So I got my new MacBook on the 21st but I have been very busy to make the post on here. So now I have decided to relax and take a break. So right now my break includes updating my blog!
So far my impressions of my MacBook are that it is one fantastic laptop! iSight is crystal clear, the multi-touch trackpad is one of the best features. OS X only supports 4 finger tracking so far but I saw a video that shows it is capable of tracking up to 11. But 4 is good enough 
.
This is my first time using OS X so I'm fairly new to it. But the OS is pretty easy to use and learn. But the way the file system is laid out seems to me a little unorganized and that Linux is better in that field. Really, if Linux supported everything my MacBook has then I would be using that right now. But I guess I'll get use to it.
I did do some experimenting and partitioned the HDD and added 2 new ones (main and swap) to install arch on. But when I installed it I get a lot of dbus errors. It could be something I did, but whatever. I also couldn't get my trackpad fully functioning. So in a day or so I'm going to install Ubuntu intrepid over arch and see if everything works there.
Now, below is a gallery of pictures of that happy day.

Nice work Eli. Does it have a “New Mac” smell?
Always good to open something brand-spanking new that no one else has touched except for the packer!
