Yesterday my MacBook Pro arrived, finally. I had to wait because I added the 7200rpm 160GB build to order drive. While the old Alumininum G4 Powerbook was adequate for most tasks, Aperture really wasn’t fully usable. Now I can perform real time adjustments with ease, making it much easier to do basic optimization in Aperture.
I decided to start clean this time, so rather than use the migration assistant to move documents, apps and preferences over, I’m loading each app in anew and setting preferences by hand. Tomorrow I should have Photoshop brought over, so I can see how usable round-tripping is with the 2GB. The new Santa Rosa chip set allows 4GB in the laptop, up from 3GB in previous versions, so I have the option to double the memory, which should help run the two apps simultaneously.
