I love my new Macbook. Very easy to use, the new and improved iphoto is a revelation. from Bhphotovideo.com Pros: Beautiful, sleek design; big, bright display; dual-core CPU; robust software package, including Mac OS X Tiger; illuminated keyboard and scrollable touch pad; DVD burner; built-in Webcam; remote control; can run Windows XP using Apple's free Boot Camp utility. Cons: Lacks media card reader With a solid array of components, a terrific set of features, and the lightest weight of any laptop its size, Apple's 17-inch MacBook Pro is a power user's dream, but it doesn't come cheap. from Yahoo.com This is my third Apple laptop, after a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and a PowerBook G4 (Aluminum, 1.25 Ghz). In terms of capabilities, it's the best yet, though the Pismo retains a soft spot in my heart for its durability (I would throw that laptop into my non-padded backpack in a non-padded sleeve, and had no problems!), its sleek black lines, and its ergonomics. from Pricegrabber.com Strengths: Fast, runs Mac OS X + Windows + Linux, screen is quite good, excellent selection of ports, metal enclosure, very slim, reasonably light, very sleek, great CPU & graphics card, awesome software bundle. Weaknesses: A little noisy, hard to swap out hard drive, a bit boxy, screen could be a tad better, SuperDrive is not double-layer write capable, SuperDrive has trouble reading some CDs/DVDs unlike earlier Macs Summary: This is my third Apple laptop, after a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and a PowerBook G4 (Aluminum, 1.25 Ghz). from Pricegrabber.com

Pros: Built-in iSight, Widescreen, Processor speed

Cons: 512 is not enough especailly if you have alot of programs runnin at once, Not everything is Unverisal supported yet

Very Nice machine, a great investment for me. I am a current college student doing Multimedia so I need the power and the skills of this Apple laptop.

from Yahoo.com At first, my dad got me an Acer laptop, which crashed within a month of my getting it. My mom, being the practical one, decided that I needed a Mac. They went to CompUSA and got a full refund for that worthless hunk of plastic. from Amazon.com Great computer, does exactly you expect from it! No probs with the airport, Love the keyboard and the overall slick look. The shortcuts on the Mac are getting progressively easier to use so easier to switch from a PC. from Amazon.com I exchanged my 17 inch PowerBook for this 15 inch MacBook Pro and I am very happy with the decision. This laptop is a top product and I got it for a great price from Amazon. from Amazon.com The MacBook pro is a trendy looking machine. Under the hood, it has all the right equipment you would want for a performance laptop. from Amazon.com I keep telling myself ... DON'T BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO BUY A NEW PRODUCT. That said, I couldn't help myself. from Amazon.com
