Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
MacBook Pro is machined from a single piece of aluminum, an engineering breakthrough that replaced many parts with just one. It's called the unibody. And the first time you pick up a MacBook Pro you'll notice the difference it makes. The entire enclosure is thinner and lighter than other notebooks. It looks polished and refined. And it feels strong and durable - perfect for life inside (and outside) your briefcase or backpack.
Product Description
Carved from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro unibody enclosure is slim and streamlined with a soft-brushed surface and stunning contours. But its not all about beauty. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. So you can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, in a hotel room, or on location without a second thought. The MacBook Pro reaches a level of high-speed, high-end game-playing power. Not to mention pure performance for graphics-intensiv...

I've long admired Apple laptops from a far, and when my Dell desktop finally seized up after 6 years of tremendous service I felt it was time to jump ship - firstly to a laptop and secondly to the Apple brand that had impressed me so much with my iPod Classic and iTunes. I went for the higher spec 13" Macbook Pro as I felt the faster processor, bigger hard drive and double the RAM (4GB instead of 2GB) were more than enough to warrant the extra cash. In short, it was a great move. Mac OSX is fast, user friendly and easy to adapt to - even by hardened Windows users like myself. Design wise the machine is stunning - light, sturdy and oozes class. The screen is vibrant and I've had no issues with glare. The keyboard is a perfect size and the backlight is a real touch of class. The trackpad (after a little getting used to) is also a joy - it's also fully configurable to cater for individual's tastes.
My laptop is usually hooked up to my monitor (via the VGA adaptor I purchased) so it doubles up as a desktop remarkably well. One very nice add-on I'd recommend purchasing is the Apple Remote - controlling all your music, videos and photos via remote (via the built in infra-red) is a fantastic novelty that I'm still not bored of!
I appreciate this review is a whistle-stop tour but please leave a comment if you have a specific question, particularly from any potential purchasers who are reluctant of leaving a Windows machine. I am now part of the Apple 'family' and with an iPhone 3GS next on my list I am soon to be fully Mac'd out! This laptop comes HIGHLY recommended. Enjoy...

I finally bit the bullet and went for a mac, and can truly say now that once you've had mac, you never go back! I've got a trusty old desktop which runs XP reasonably well (ok, yeah, it has had 2 disasterous lose-all crashes) and last year I bought a cheap toshiba laptop with vista - which has spent much of it's life "not responding". I'd always thought macs were a little pretentious and arty, and that people who paid that much for a computer had issues...
"Then I saw it's pace, now I'm a believer..."
There were too many people telling me how good they were, and I was fed up ctrl-alt-deleting and still never getting where I wanted to be, so I went for it. Awesome. Expensive yes, but if time is money then I wish I'd done this years ago as I would have saved an inordinate amount of staring at status bars, trying to undo the upgrade or service pack that brought down your system, waiting for task manager to cough and sputter it's way into life because you dared open one too many windows... Nope, from the second I turned this baby on it just WORKED. Out of box, plug in, detect wifi, enter apple ID and we're good to go. A couple of updates downloaded and installed and we're there. Insanely quickly.
Being a mac novice I was a little concerned about getting to grips with it - I'd tried one in a shop and was all over the place! But it guides you through, and after an hour or so it's an old friend. Going back to a mouse seems awkward somehow, unneccessary. It's very intuitive. The battery life is as good as they say, the screen is gorgeous, and everyone who has seen it is "wowed" by it.
What can I say. Buy one now, before you spend another second of your life waiting for windows!!!

I converted from my Dell laptop and I agree with previous reviews the whole affair was seamless. I rarely turn the laptop off, just closing the lid is good enough. It is a fantastic piece of design and the build quality is second to none. It is true you can get a PC clone with more memory, greater chip speed and for less money, but once you have started using a mac nothing else will do.
If you have money buy one - especially the 4GB Ram 250GB HD model. For ultra portability go for the 13" model. If you do not have the money then save up and buy one.
