it is so fast, usually opening a program on my windows machine would take forever, but with my mac, i can open programs in a matter of seconds.
i travel back and forth across the atlantic quite often and simply put, i was tired of lugging around my 4 year old toshiba laptop (which was quite large, some might call it a desktop replacement).
by the way, it seems the interface and ease of use are very important points for mac software developers, by the way.
my macbook usually accompanies me in my travels as it's light enough to lug around (much lighter than my 6.4lbs 15.4in pc laptop), has great battery life, and excellent power management that not only
i did upgrade the ram to 4 gb - as it's only eighty bucks.
since its my first apple product ever i got use to the osx very fast and felt ive been missing out all my life, i love the new trackpad, got use to it very fast as well ..its like ive been using it
i purchased this laptop after doing much research since apple's product line has gotten increasingly large and complicated.
thanks to amazon for amazingly fast service - the mac got here the day after i ordered it!
i can't believe how much faster it is to load vmware fusion on this laptop.
-portability: my dell laptop was portable, but it was also bulky, heavy, and seemed fragile when i carried it in one hand.
the bottom line: you get what you pay for with this macbook pro: top-of-the-line capabilities, fantastic performance, large screen, and lightweight for travel.
macs and pcs are converging when it comes to reliability and ease of use, but apple products are much more elegantly designed than most other computer products, and the mac os is still cleaner and
it is still so powerful i can't imagine ever needing to buy another laptop, i mean i can play windows games in parallels on it while browsing the web in osx with out even a hiccup.
my macbook pro with he 2.4 is fast enough and the memory is large enough for "heavy lifting", i think this laptop is the best thing going and with os leopard, it is smooth and stable!
it is my belief that merchants such as amazon should make the shopping and deliberating process of buying an expensive item such as a laptop as easy as possible.
recomended to anybody as it is powerful and flexible.
the bottom line: easy to use and with full software from the start.
its a pretty good product but a few things could have been better like the keyboard...it definitely could have been faster to type, you just dont see the words on the screen as fast you type...
it's easy to install open office on mac, as well as windows office - windows office will cost you another 200 dollars though.
running windows is frankly distasteful, and you easily see why i stick to the mac side as much as possible, but parallels makes it as easy and stable as it can be.
although it's my first mac product, the operation system is user friendly and easy to understand.
excelent laptop, very thin, fast battery lasts much longer than other laptops i've had, strongly recommend it.
it performs wonderfully, it's fast both with mac os and vista, games run great.
the system is very fast; during my file transfers from the old computer to the new one, it takes my dell (2.13 ghz) multiple minutes to copy files it takes my mac (2.4 ghz) "about a minute" to copy.
whether its watching hd movies, gaming, or photoshop cs4, this powerful laptop can handle it all.
the bottom line: great computer for home, school or work- easy to use, sleek and very dependable.
the unit does get a bit hot like any laptop and the sleek exterior needs getting used to especially when you are trying to pick it up from your desk.
"the first portable computer that does a great job running any current video-related application worth running."
but it was so easy to go from pc to mac and i dont' think i will ever be able to go back.
but it was so easy to go from pc to mac and i dont' think i will ever be able to go back.permalink was this review helpful?
it is nice and small, light, and portable.
it corrects a handful of the ibook's shortcomings, hits a reasonable price point, and makes a great compromise between size and portability."
its media center remote is very easy to use because it only has 6 buttons and you can watch movie trailers!
it is so easy to underestimate this laptop because of its simple, benign look, but it runs programs actually faster than all my desktops.
this is my first mac and i was impressed with how easy it was to get up and running.
it's not easy to move from a pc to a mac, but you can read and see tutorials everywhere, and in
and yes, while the two different it is very easy to get used to a mac interface.
on the 2 gb of ram that it has it works just as well as a windows pc with 4 or more gb.
Go to Apple look at the Refurbished.
i already had imac but older one and i am extremely satisfied with apple product.
This is a review of Techno Intelligence.
Mac's run windows now using several different methods, PC Magazine has reported that most mac's now run windows faster then actually windows based pc's.
