 Fantastic Computer December 26, 2008
Windows Vista was the last straw so I went Mac hunting. I bought a MacBook Pro last May after using windows systems for years and years. Total frustrated by windows lack of processing simple jobs with out locking up and having to ctrl-alt-del or completely restart. The MacBook Pro was a little more than I wanted to spend, but after hours of convincing my wife I made the switch to Mac. It has been the best computer I have ever owned!
It is flawless in booting up and being ready to go.
Easy compatibility with my digital camera I did not even need to install the Kodak software iPhoto reads the pictures just fine and away we go. IMovie makes it just as easy take your video and edit and make really cool movies out of what you have shot on camera or camcorders. The word processing with pages works very well and there are other great free open source word processing programs for Mac like open office.
From ITunes to being able to bluetooth my Cel phone and quickly get all my contacts off address book has been great. My wife has been so impressed she now has a Macbook and we have a Mac mini at home.
Every area of the MacBook Pro has exceeded my expectations.
gift for grandson November 25, 2008
My grandson likes his apple macbook pro laptop a great deal,but it would be nice to get the promised rebate!!All paper work was acknowledged,but no check as yet!!
Best Notebook I've had and great change from a PC October 27, 2008
I must say that this is an excellent notebook. It's build is solid. I've traveled with it around the Chilean Patagonia and had no problems (be sure to have one of those nice silicon cases if it rains!). I've been a PC fan for the past 20 years and used Linux as an alternate to windows in many cases. But the MacOSX is really a nice operating system. If your going to spend many hours of your day in front of a computer, you'll really appreciate the aesthetics and usability of this Mac. The screen is the best I've ever seen.
Also, if you still need windows or Linux (you won't for the majority of apps), you can install Parallels or the excellent, and FREE, VirtualBox. Both work great with Windows and Linux (try Ubuntu).
As a computer scientist I'm seeing many MANY people making the switch from PC to Mac these days. Personally I'll be sticking to the mac for a long time!
Some downsides on this mac:
- Only 2 usb ports
- They keys quickly get shiny in high usage places and look opaque on others. (not too nice)
- Track pad right-click doesn't seem to work well sometimes.
(I hear those new large ones that work like the iphone touch screen are pretty awesome though)
If you're thinking about switching from a PC to this notebook, it's really a great option. No regrets at all.

There's nothing like a Macbook Pro September 30, 2008
Yes,these computers are expensive,but how are you going to own the most elegant,most capable non-generic computer available!There's a reason why this laptop is used on most TV commercials and print ads-its not covered with stickers or redesigned every four months in a desperate attempt to find something that might catch on.Add the aluminum case,Ilife apps and the best operating system on the planet and the price shrinks some.
First time Mac user September 9, 2008
need more time to figure out how to function it well. And more time to change the habbit for using this guy like a PC.
No more tears after loosing files by virus attack, no more system crushes(freeze twice while I editing files on photoshop after i installed Leopard )
