Like I said, Amazon’s offering 5 gigabytes of free online storage of your files to be accessible anywhere else with a web browser. Dunno about you, but free’s good in my book. Learn more at their site: https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/learnmore/

So as some of you are aware, I purchased the new MacBook pro 5.1. It is a sexy machine. Now I never thought about this previously, but I’d like to compare this model to my previous one, the MacBook Pro 4.1. Starting with the MacBook Pro 4.1:
MacBook Pro 4.1:
CPU – intel i7 620M 2.66 Ghtz Arrandale with 4 MB on-chip L3 cache
Scored a 2786 on the passmark benchmark test
GPU – nVidia GeForce GT 330M with 512MB of GDDR3 SDRAM
Scored a 489 on the G3D Benchmark Test
RAM – 4 GB of 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM
Screen – 15″
Storage – 500GB @ 5400 rpm
So that was my first mac, not a bad first impression… until…
MacBook Pro 5.1:
CPU – Intel i7 2720QM 2.2 Ghtz Sandy Bridge with 6 MB on-chip L3 cache
Scored a 7186 on the passmark benchmark test
GPU – AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1 GB GDDR5 SDRAM
Scored a 1119 on the G3D Benchmark Test
RAM – 4GB of 1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM
Screen – 15″
Storage – 750GB @ 5400 rpm
Pretty damn good lads! Well this time I was smart enough to use Boot Camp to put Windows on the machine, so I can enjoy the PC Games outside of work.

I clicked on this trailer out of sheer curiosity. I think I’m finding everything I was missing in Borderlands.
Neat sci-fi world? Unobnoxiously cel-shaded graphics? Hordes of distinctive stylized enemies? Check, check, and check. But let’s see if Borderlands had BASE jumping with laser wings looking out of TRON.
