What a cracker! I have owned Windows PC's since 1996 and I always thought that Mac's were over-priced. Well I still have that opinion.
After a couple of weeks of finding my way around a new operating system. I have found there is an incredible difference between the build quality of normal laptops and MacBooks. MacBooks boot up in the time it takes to bring up the password box on a windows laptop. Programs start-up almost instantaneously. You are encouraged not to close down MacBooks ie leave them on standby for a quick restart. And it really is QUICK! Software for Mac's seems to be much cheaper. The OS upgrade is vastly cheaper than windows.
Am I impressed? Definitely

I had a macbook pro 15 2009 2.66ghz intel core 2 duo and decided it was time for an upgrade, specifically to use FCPX as it struggled on my old MBP. This computer is incredibly fast. It makes using FCPX an absolute joy. No wait times, not even much for large renders. In real terms, it's at least 5 times faster than the 2009 model. I was thinking about the retina display but for the equivalent power and a smaller hard drive (albeit ssd) it would be £500 more. Also, not upgradeable with RAM etc., whereas I can buy 512GB ssd from crucial for £300 plus 16GB of RAM for £60 and have a MORE powerful computer than the top-end Retina. P.S. the person who wrote that 1 star review because of a non-delivery, you have posted it in the wrong place. It should be removed as it is an unfair reflection on the product itself.

I bought my first MacBook Pro in 2009, an Intel Duo Core with 2Gb of memory. This one has an i7 chip with 8Gb of memory. The first served me well but struggled when I started using FCP X and Motion 5. The performance of the latest model is outstanding and I rarely have to wait for processing when using my high-end applications. I easily attached it to an HP monitor I have had for several years.
Expensive but worth it and the £194 discount from Amazon compared with the Apple Store swung it.
My only grumble is that changing the battery looks a lot more complicated than on my firs one.

Once it arrived (communication about delivery was not altogether brilliant - though the enjoyment of the MacBook is making it a blur in my memory!) my MacBook Pro has performed perfectly. I haven't had any issues with it. It's essential for my work as a graphic designer, so it has been an invaluable tool already and handles everything I need to use it for (running InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop with large and complex files and other software at the same time) really well. I'm very happy with it. I chose this MacBook Pro rather than the Pro Retina one because the Pro Retina doesn't have a CD/DVD drive (not sure why as that seems a little crazy!) - but very happy with the screen display on this one - in fact it's so shiny a bright day makes it hard to see! It's also beautiful quality for watching DVDs.

There is only one answer. Up a creek would be a likely contender. Nowhere near where I am with it.
Forget the comparisons with anything else. This is judged on its own. To start with, it's more relaxing to work with. You get this welcome feeling whenever you use it, whatever you're using it for. I tend to use mine for making music, writing whatever I need to have written, and creating whatever charts and data I need. it's a full production product, which isn;t saying a similar thing twice, by the way.
Now you can begin comparisons. What would I say? Don;t waste your time. There is no comparison to be made. This is all you need for everything you're likely to use it for. Now change my question. Where would you be without one?

This is a monster of a machine and perfect for business, so much so that everyone in my business now uses Macbook pros with thunderbolt screens. This 15 inch machine is powerful, fast and totally reliable - and a total pleasure to use. Given the latest slim retina editions of the 15 inch model no longer come with a CD/DVD player/burner I would say that rather short sighted omission from apple makes this 15 inch model the best all round 15 inch model to go for. Whilst Apple clearly wants everyone to buy from iTunes, a lot of the world doesn't and a macbook without a CD/DVD drive would be a handicap in using any laptop for work.

I am new to Mac's so was unsure about this at first, but after a phone call to the seller to answer all my questions (very helpful, and greatful that they phoned me!) I went ahead and purchased the Mac on Sunday night. It was posted on Monday and arrived 9:30am Tuesday; very quick if you ask me! It was well packaged and in it's original unopened box (as stated). I also received the free upgrade to better specs. It does state that the operating system is only Lion, not Moutain Lion, so this means you should do a couple of updates and update to Mountain Lion, however this was pretty simple and currently Mountain Lion is only £14 in the App Store. Other than this, the only problem I'm having is getting used to Mac's over PC's. I would definitly recommend purchasing here!

Excellent customer service
I`d just like to mention that the customer service by the company who sold the product was second to none. The product in itself is what you`d expect of an Apple Mac Pro.
