 An absolutely wonderful machine June 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Disclaimer: I am not an "Apple Worshipper" There are many things that Apple does that I find annoying or worse.
The previous Apple I worked with was a Powerbook G4 15", which had served fairly well for the past four years. I've always thought that the quality of the Apple Powerbook was superior to what I could get (as a primarily PC user).
Fast forward, and the user in our company needs a new computer to be able to run the latest Adobe design products. So let me go over the noticeable differences:
1 - Fast. Even compared to other modern dual core notebooks. This computer rockets along.
2 - Smaller. This new machine is thinner and lighter compared to the old Powerbook G4's. It wasn't something we were expecting and the end user was quite thrilled.
3 - Better power cord. The magsafe connector is a WONDERFUL upgrade from those G4 power cords that had a lifespan of about 6 months. While some people have reported problems with them, the power cord that ships with this model is "version 2" and after a couple of month's use has shown zero issues.
Once again, I believe that the Macbook Pro has shown itself to be a well engineered, solid machine. Amazon has amazing next-day-air shipping rates on this model, and it does everything that we need it to. I believe that Apple has stayed ahead of the pack when it comes to quality construction in their notebooks. Even better, our user was instantly comfortable with the new version and up and running in next to no time.
Debated for a long time.... June 19, 2008

My specs:
2.4GHZ Penryn
2GB Ram (About to upgrade to 4GB)
256MB Nvidia GPU
Superdrive
Multi-Touch trackpad
I debated between this laptop and a black macbook for a long time. I weighed all of the options vs price and to be honest, I bought this one even though it didn't look as good to me on paper. I'm so glad I decided to buy this one over the black macbook. The larger screen gives me more than enough room to multitask (but it does not take away from the portability of the laptop). The backlit keyboard and multi-touch track pad are irreplaceable. I am constantly working on computers and find it really hard to use the track pads on our HP TX1000 laptops. The laptop is more than fast enough for what I use it for (web browsing, movies, iTunes, movie editing). I am looking at upgrading to 4GB ram in the next week just to squeeze everything I can out of this computer. Build quality is excellent and battery life is better than any pc laptop I've ever owned. Speakers sound incredible! Leopard is a good OS and I love iMovie and garageband! Photobooth is fun with the built-in camera.
I only have a few complaints. It gets HOT! When downloading torrents or doing any kind of video editing, this thing heats up fast (although it cools down very fast due to the aluminum casing). It could use more usb ports, but I rarely find myself needing more (only when I need to plug in my iPod, blackberry and usb memory stick). Wireless is a little finicky when traveling from work/home/public wifi, especially if each network has different ip schemes. All this took was a little profile setting and I was good to go.
Love it June 18, 2008

It is a dynamite laptop. I have had no problems with it crashing or not running. I shouldn't need to say that but my old WinXP laptop would do this constantly. I did upgrade the memory to 4GB right away since it is so easy to do and much cheaper than having it factory installed. I did also install VM Ware Fusion to allow me to run Windows only programs and it works great. The set-up is really the best of both worlds, simplicity and reliability of Mac and compatability of Windows.
Highly recommended.
Best computer I've ever owned June 17, 2008
