 A great piece of work May 15, 2008

This is certainly Apple's premier effort so far. It is compact, yet with a screen just enough longer than the G4 laptop to make a significant difference. Memory and hard drive space are ample for most users and can be increased at need. Add a Cinema Display and you've got the virtual equivalent of a desktop, with portability. I've encountered a glitch or two, but Apple's 90 day extendable phone service has been instantaneous and has solved every problem so far. Get's top rating.
Nice Machine May 10, 2008
Works well. A good value compared to the latest generation. Speed is not an issue- it flies. iLife software very good. It kills me to go to work and have to use an XP Dell. Get a few Mac for dummies books if you are switching, also liked Jim Heid's iLife book a lot. If you need additional ram, other world computing very affordable. Timemachine back up very impressive. No runs, drips or errors X4 mos now. Very stable machine.
 Bad Keyboard and bad screen May 6, 2008

The keyboard on the Macbook pro MA895LL/A is terrible. It lacks proper response. You'll find yourself having to go back and fix what you just typed if you are a fast touch typer. My version also had terrible light bleeding. Its a shame really because every thing else about the computer was really good.
 Fantastic product, but cannot say the same for customer service. May 2, 2008

The MBP is an absolutely wonderful product. It is fast, powerful and can even handle some mid range games you throw at it (provided you are using Boot Camp). I bought this with the intention of using Aperture 2 and Final Cut and it has served well to that purpose ever since I bought it. In that regard, this product should have received 4 stars.
Now the reason why I gave it a 4. It is my belief that merchants such as Amazon should make the shopping and deliberating process of buying an expensive item such as a laptop as easy as possible. It was easy enough to find all of the MBPs offered by Amazon, but it became quite hard to distinguish between which model offered what and which model lacked a certain feature. I even called Amazon CSR to verify to see if this was indeed the model with multi-touch and was told that it was. Of course, upon receiving the product, I realized that it was not. Too lazy to deal with returns, nor did I think it was really necessary, I just forgot about it. But the important thing to take away is that the Amazon CSR basically read off the description page and knew almost nothing of what I was asking. It might be better if I had done some more research but I was pressed for time. I recommend anyone buying similar items (ie. different models of MBP) to do additional outside research or hope that Amazon will put up a comparison feature within their web page.
But let me be clear, this product is near perfect. Buy it if you need it. You will not regret your purchase.
Best Computer I have ever owned April 29, 2008

Macintosh has done an excellent job. This is my first Mac after having owned systems with Windows since the days of Windows 3.1.
The Mac OS is extremely intuitive and operates quickly. My main reason for not purchasing a Mac over the years has been the price difference. I would have to admit now that you get what you pay for and my experience will lead me to replace other PC's in my home with Macs.
