Apple MacBook Pro 15.4 in. (MB133LL/A) Notebook

Pros: Fast, stable, gorgeous. Destined to be the best ever matte-screen MacBook Pro.
Cons: Not as fast or gorgeous as the new model.

*** Important Update Follows ***As I write this on the 10th of October, 2008, Apple is poised to release a new line of laptops in just four days. Speculation is wild about the design of the upcoming portables, and even about whether Apple will offer ...

Pros: Sleek and beautiful with powerful performance and nice features
Cons: Premium price, with sub par quality control

INTRODUCTION As with most people who purchase their first Mac, I too was a long time PC user who recently developed a strong interest for Apple products. I've been following the Macbook Pro line for a while, and when they recently released the ...

Pros: Well laid out, feature packed, and ready to take on Microsoft on the hardware/software front.
Cons: Limited software titles, but that's changing!

Macs have taken a beating the past few years for being "those expensive computers" that no one uses. Well, that is certainly not the case anymore! I was a firm Windows user from 3.1 all the way to XP. With Vista out and unleashed on everyone, I simply ...

Pros: Thin. Lightweight. Comfortable keyboard. High-rated durability. Quiet! Snag-resistant plug. Camera. MacOSX. Quick boot/shutdown. Raw power!
Cons: Runs warm. No SD reader. Learning curve for Windows users.

I did plenty of research ahead of time. Apple and IBM are the top two rated for hardware durability. I also waited, ultimately, for about the time the MBP was "upgraded" (early in 2008). Go online often. Two good sources to watch are, ...

Pros: The OS is great.
Cons: Fuzzy screen on slightly lower resolution, sharp edges on case, screen doesn't tip back enough

Pros: No Viruses, Runs Smoothly, Beautifully Designed
Cons: Occasionally Overheats, Easily Scratched Casing, Not compatible with a lot of programs/games

When I was looking for a laptop to use in college, I ran across many great deals on HP's, Dells, and Sony's. I've always been a Microsoft user, but heard many great things about Apple. The one thing that got me the most was the fact that they couldn't be ...

Pros: Sleek design, easy to use.
Cons: Price is high, looks flashy so thieves will target you.

Apple is at the top of the game when it comes to design. The blueprints for the current Macbook Pro were made 5 years ago when they made the Aluminum Powerbook G4 back when they weren't using Intel processors yet. The G4 was a great design but the ...

Pros: The entire experience
Cons: Steep purchase price - but honestly, I think I got my money's worth!

I thought about switching to a Mac for several years. The thing that finally drove me to do it was a simple mention from a friend who had switched. She said, "I love it because when I turn it on, it's on." That did it.The ...
