Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro Notebook

Apple MacBook Pro

Posted Nov 20, 2006 - A well balanced laptop. I love the the lighted keyboard and the magsafe adapter is great. The keyboard action is closer to a traditional keyboard. In addition, the upgraded speakers sound better than most laptop speakers.

Best Computer Hands Down

Posted Aug 16, 2006 - I bought an iBook G4 a year ago and was so happy I bought the new MacBook Pro with 1GB of ram after 6 months. My son now has the iBook G4. I was a PC user for the past 11 years, but those days are joyfully behind me. I can honestly say that Mac has the best OS on the market. No computer is perfect, and I have had a few issues with programs unexpectedly quiting on me, but that has been seldom and I would greatfully trade those few problems for the massive problems I had with PC, especially the virus and ad-ware issues, not to mention the problem with "defraging" a PC's hard drive. How irresponsible is that to make a system that is so unorganized you have to organize it time and time again. O well...buy what you want, but if you want ease of use, no issues with ad-ware and viruses, if you dislike all the security upgrades common with windows, buy a Mac!!

the best laptop ever!

Posted Sep 4, 2006 - i absolutely love my new macbook pro laptop. i've been a mac user my entire life so i might be a little biased, but i do work with pc's and mac's and i do like the interface of mac os x much better then that of any windows os. i have yet to try the macbook pro's bootcamp feature which runs the laptop with windows or linux os's, but have heard good things about it and there are applications that allow you to run both environments at the same time. this should be perfect so that those few times i do need my pc, i won't have to carry 2 laptops around. mac os x is an extremely stable operating system. i think in the 5 years that i've been running all different versions of mac os x, i have had to force restart my computer maybe twice. the webcam and the magnetic power cord are very cool extra features. i am going to add an aditional 1gb of ram because it only comes with 512mb. i need to have a few processor hungry programs running at the same time so i think it's a necessary upgrade. overall, i love this laptop and would suggest anyone to buy it. also, i know that if something goes wrong with it, instead of getting on the phone and waiting to talk to someone who is hard to understand, with macs you can just bring it into any apple store and the people there will help you take care of whatever issue there is. i can't wait for the next release of software that it macbook pro compatible. hopefully they'll all run super fast!

MacBook Pro is all you could ever ask for.

Posted Sep 3, 2006 - For anyone who wants to produce any kind of media, whether it is movies, music, or even animations, this is the best laptop on the market. iLife is equipped so you get all of your media needs filled right off the bat. CD/DVD burner is quick and I have had no problems. Just listen to iTunes and you'll hear great sound quality. The speakers on this computer are exceptional. It has been no problem whatsoever.

This THING is HOT!!! (And I mean it in the good, steamy way)!

Posted Mar 4, 2007 - Can't beat this thing EVER with/in ALL of it's strengths! Truly AMAZING! I also love ... the dock, the widgets, the keyboard, the lighted keys, the speed, the hardware, the software, and yes, the overall cosmetic appeal! AND FYI ... this whole "runs hot" thing totally escapes me! You should've felt my Dell Inspiron 700m for some major PC HEAT'n!!! ALSO, I bought a clear Speck hard-shell case with a million vents on the bottom, which seems to cool it to the touch ... and the shell also protects the beautiful sleek look and DESIGN of this Macbook Pro!!! My (college) students have been ranting and raving MAC praises for a long time to me, and I'm REALLY THRILLED that I finally listened and learned from THEM!

My First Mac

Posted Oct 9, 2006 - I am a head audio engineer to my group and being in it we have been plagued by mix platforms. I wanted to understand behaviors what my engineers usually complain about Windows, so I got myself a Mac. Thinking its now intel-based and has a boot camp as a run to if in case things don't work out. After awhile, I found myself enjoying Mac and little by little not wanting to boot to windows anymore.

Great laptop

Posted Sep 8, 2006 - I admit I was somewhat reluctant to purchase a Mac because of my unfamiliarity with the OS. I've used it before but only sparingly. For those who are in the same situation, go buy it! The Mac OS is more intuitive than Windows and many of the Windows features that make you go "huh" do not exist here. But I am here to review the product so let me digress. Like I said earlier, the overall design of this laptop is amazing. The camera is built in at the top of the screen. It looks like a small black dot and is barely recognizable. Great product!

What happened to Apple Computers??????

Posted Sep 13, 2006 - I have owned a Mac all my life but not anymore. The MacBook PRO is NOT worth the money! Apple support is no good! If you have a problem expect to pay for it. I sent my MacBook PRO back to Apple after weeks of talking to them on the phone, re-installing the OS system and software several times. I sent my Mac back to Apple and they have had my computer for 3 weeks. Don't buy an Apple - get a Dell.
