So I'm very excited because I've ordered a MacBook Pro! I'm a big Apple fan and I've already an iMac at home and an iPod Nano 5th gen. with video but I needed a new laptop for college.. (I've a DELL at the moment too but that's 3 years old and very slow and won't let me upload grrr)

I really wanted the Pro because I'm studying media and journalism in college and I'm starting up a youtube channel and working on podcasts and stuff like that! Go the Pro!

Whatcha think?

Honestly,

I think you're better off spending only $400 for a laptop and putting Linux or Windows 7 on it. Maybe Linux or Unix, if you want something similar to a Mac; since mac is just a really old Unix kernel all prettied up.

I'm not a Mac hater, I'd just rather not sever an arm to by a computer that looks good. Rolling Eyes

FYI, your connection to the web is what wont let you upload files. The age of your computer plays very little factor to that.
If you have old Dial-up, DSL, or perhaps you're too far from your wireless router( and have bad signal or quality) you'll have a slower time doing any uploads or downloads. Generally uploads are slower than downloads because the upload bandwidth is smaller than download bandwidth with most Internet Service Providers.
