I've never bought a warranty that came in such a beautifully designed box. How they managed to fit 3 years into such a small package is amazing! And my MacBook Pro is thrilled. from Bhphotovideo.com Am I ever glad I purchased this Macbook Pro from the Macbook Pro series. I was pretty well pleased, right off the bat. from Amazon.com I've owned 11 Macs over the last 7 years, most of which I bought for family members. 4 of them have been my primary computers. from Amazon.com The Apple MacBook Pro was advertised as refurbished and with Microsoft Office. It did not contain Microsoft Office and had to be taken to an Apple service center to be repaired. from Amazon.com It has a nice sized hard drive as well. It also includes the Intel Core 2 Duo, which is a great add, I was amazed how fast it is. When you open up your Macbook, and turn it on, you'll notice it has a much brighter screen than their previous notebook. I did notice that it neglects a DVD burner, though. from Amazon.com More polished vs. same spec HP nc8400 series notebook I use at work. Quite satisfied. from Amazon.com And possibly my favorite. Apple trumps Microsoft yet again. As a side note, I bought mine from Apple as a refub for $1499. from Amazon.com The macbook pro is very fast, has a beautiful screen, and has an excellent unix based operating system. Installing windows to use your old windows aps is quick and easy with boot camp. from Amazon.com I wanted to be compatible. This computer brought me back into the fold. With it and the underlying Intel processor, you can be compatible when you need to be, which these days isn't often. The web has brought us all together. from Amazon.com Pros: It is suitable for anything from high end gaming to video editing. this is by far the best screen Apple or any other manufacturer has put onto a laptop. from Newegg.com
