Late June 2009 I bought a 13" MacBook Pro (2.26 GHz, 4 GB RAM). I suppose that after just three months, the blinding "first joys" over getting a laptop have worn off. By now, I deem my thoughts about this device to be realistic and of an appropriate level. The past few weeks I attained mastery over the Mac OS through personal discovery, accompanied by a very insightful book; I bought additional software and hacked the Dock to suit my preferences.

Apple has had the metallic look for a while My 2001 TI Powerbook, generally looked like this too. Basically Sony stole it from apple. However it is one of those don't mess with a good idea design. Much like the ThinkPad (an other good design) that looks similar for many many years. With only minor changes in each version allowing for a more dramatic difference if you compare it over a long time.
But I currently have a 3 year old MacBook Pro and it still look like new. You would only know that it is an old model if you know all the changes in the macs. But for the people who are not into macs and see my laptop even compared to their new PC laptops they think I am running a newer system. Granted there are some signs of age if you look very carfuly. There is some pitting where I always rest my hand in the metal. But for the most part it still looks like a new compter.
