After finally receiving one of Apple’s new aluminum MacBooks last week, I’ve been doing some testing and working on my review of the machine. And as you likely know, good photography is a cornerstone of TR reviews. Scott and Geoff have both devised ways to take great pictures of the latest processors, graphics cards, motherboards, and other devices over the years.

Trouble is, I live all the way over in France, and I don’t have anything resembling professional studio equipment in my 540-square-foot apartment. Taking TR-quality photos of a 13.3" notebook turned out to be a challenge, but I think I pulled it off. Behold my makeshift studio:

Actually, the hardest part was contorting to keep my carpet out of the shots. I’m pretty pleased with the results, though:
