When Apple announced the new MacBook Pro, the first thing I did was order it. Instead of ordering the base configuration, I opted for the higher end MacBook Pro with a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of Ram and an upgraded 320GB 7200 rpm drive. I’m guessing that drive upgrade is the reason I received my notebook a week late. But no worries, I’m so happy it’s here that it doesn’t matter anymore. There is one last thing I have to do before I can start using my new notebook, and that of course, is the obligatory unboxing.

As you can see, the MacBook Pro comes in a tiny little non-descript package.  The box only contains the essentials, and really, that’s the way it should be.  I haven’t had a chance to really use the machine a lot yet, but I did get to watch the Leopard welcome video, which is always fun. So fun, that I figured I’d let you watch it with me again.

That screen sure is reflective! But it’s a beauty, and I can’t wait to use my new MacBook Pro so I can report back all of my thoughts and feelings about it. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I think I’m going to end up loving it.
