Another user's account of a new MacBook Pro

We call on Steev' who tells us about his new MacBook Pro. His impressions diverge sometimes from ours; you will have several stories such as this.

As a daily reader of Macbidouille, I am happy to share information with others about the new range of MacBooks…
I am the happy purchaser an Apple MacBook Pro Aluminum, 15" Rev 2.4Ghz
I hope that you want to hear my general impressions on this machine.
1st impressions:
Mechanics : the aluminium & the unibody are splendid, more solid, rounder, sexier, however the aluminum colour is much lighter than that of the previous generation: maybe this is a simple impression, but the gray is quite clear… it is luminous.
The screen: black contour gives the effect that increases the size of the screen. It appears more luminous & richer, the colors are stronger also, The image is identical to a current iMac, I find that very agreable, in artificial light or natural, in spite of some reflections
….
Touchpad: it is beautiful, however the finger does not slip well and sometimes sticks, perhaps it is an effect of being new and should improve after a few hours use…
Having no button makes it difficult to adapt to even for an iPhone user during the 1st hour…
Keyboard: the back lit keys are splendid, and the touch has an incredible fluidity, it is soft, rapid, and intuitive, I find the keyboard the big attraction for Macbook Black 1st generation, and the keyboard was my big disappointment at the time my switch MacBook > MacBook Pro (old rev).
It is really thin, the fans are really quiet, reading CD/DVD also.
Battery: 2:00 of use, a reinstalment system (+30min)… battery level is at 70%…. I have the impression it holds well these promises of long battery life…
