Macbook is the one book you need when your having more than one (OS)

by   mrpimms ,  Dec 16, 2007
Pros: Run windows better. Run Macs better than old macs, Run Unix better. Attention to detail.
Cons: Apache PHP MySQL config weird. Sometimes needs to recharge before rebooting. IE7 without windows please?
The Bottom Line: I'm not a mac fanatic, I have more PCs than macs, but I love this laptop. It is like having 3 laptops in one.

Livin' Large: Life with a SWEET 17" Mac laptop

by   smiles33 ,  Dec 1, 2007
Pros: * Powerful performance
* Sleek style
* Thoughtful details
* LARGE screen yet still lightweight
Cons: * Pricey but worth it!
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.
Review: Let me first say that I am NOT the most tech-savvy woman on the block. But, having used computers for the last 22 years (since the IBM PC and original Apple Mac back in the mid 1980s, as my father was a Silicon Valley engineer before retirement), I'm ...

Cross over from Windows to Mac will be a LOT smoother with a MacBook Pro

by   mainemomof2 ,  Jan 11, 2008
Pros: Larger Screen, Stylish Design, Easy Transition from Windows to Mac, User Friendly
Cons: Price
The Bottom Line: If you are scared of the transition from Windows to Mac - don't be. If you are thinking of buying a Mac - buy one. You'll love it.
Review: I waited a VERY long time going back and forth on whether or not I was going to buy a Mac. I think my one main concern was if I was going to transition easily from Windows to Mac. I had used a Mac way back in the late nineties - and it was so foreign to ...

The last laptop you'll ever need (for 3 or 4 years anyway)

by   never_again989 ,  Mar 27, 2008
Pros: Beautiful, fast, Windows and OS X on the same system, OS X stability
Cons: Gets very hot running XP, expensive
The Bottom Line: After 5 months, I feel more satisfied with this computer than any other system I've owned.
Review: As a write this, Apple has just upgraded their MacBook Pros with the latest intel processor Peryn (sp?). So, everything I say is true without regard to any speed, stability and temperature gains. I bought my MacBook Pro back in October of 2007 for ...

AWESOME!

by   rshepard95 ,  May 16, 2008
Pros: functions well!
Cons: weak case!
The Bottom Line: this is awesome but the screen is too big!
Review: I have had my mac book pro 17” for about a year and a half- it is my second mac, the first was a PowerBook G4. The only two complaints I have had have been case related- both have had he aluminum cases, which dent and warp. I have a speck case now (the ...

Apple Macbook Pro-like driving the best sports car on the block!

by   artsy43 ,  Dec 10, 2007
Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
The Bottom Line: Never been happier...with a computer, that is.
Review: I waited and waited to make the final decision to cross over...and SO glad I did. I considered myself a fairly advanced Windows user, so I was hard to impress. One day, while in an Office Depot store, I decided to ask the "geeks" their advice. I said, ...

A great laptop and a bridge between the Windows/Mac worlds

by   t_o_n_y ,  May 24, 2008
Pros: Usually runs Windows as well as a pc. Great hardware. Will convert you to Mac!
Cons: Has the glitches of a Windows laptop plus some of its own. Pricey.
The Bottom Line: This is a great laptop, but running XP or Vista does cause problems at times. Still, because of the many advantages its worth the extra money.
Review: *** Update: Dec 27, 2008  ****If anything I feel more positive about this laptop than when I wrote this review.  It works as well today as it did the day I bought it.  Since the time of this review, I have upgraded the PC side to Vista ...

the commercials don't lie: Macs are winners!

by   iwu_girl77 ,  Jan 4, 2008
Pros: sleek, slim design; speedy processing, biggest BANG for the biggest buck
Cons: the mouse does not have two buttons, which makes using the right click difficult
Review: I am relatively new to the world of Macs, and generally not the most tech-saavy woman, but it didn't take me long at all to transition from a PC to a MacBook Pro. I love the features that Mac has, and I have Boot Camp software that allows me to run both ...

Unlike other brands, a Mac Book pro lasts for long time

by   binali ,  Feb 5, 2008
Pros: My 2008 MacBook Pro caused no problems at all.
Cons: A bit heavy, gets too warm as previously mentioned, you need a real mouse.
Review: I'd like to publish a review on my 2003 Mac Book pro because strangely, after 5 years it is working just fine. One would not expect a laptop to function for 5 years, at least I would not. My six months old Sony Vaio running on Vista (reallllllly ...

Pros: Awesome computer looks great, great performance, big screen cant go wrong.
Cons: Costs a fortune, gets a quite warm after running for a few hours.
The Bottom Line: great platform for running programs that are art oreinted
Review: We all face the dilemma in todays day in age of getting a computer. Maybe you already have a desk top and need something portable, in my case I am off to college and need a laptop that will last. In the last 4 years personally I have been through three ...
