A jewel with imperfections
First the pros:
- amazing build quality, nothing else comes close.
- keyboard allows very fast touch-typing
- now supports up to 8GB RAM, making it more future-proof
- very thin and portable
- SD + Firewire 800
- fast performance, both video watching and regular tasks
- so sleek it makes windows laptops look like plastic lunch boxes
Now the cons:
- USB ports have been crowded together to make room for SD slot
- LED backlighting ...

Switched from Windows: More good than bad. Great hardware
This is my first Mac computer. My first four computers ran Win 3.1, Windows 95, XP, and Vista (from about 1995-present). I have quite a lot of time spent on each of them. Switching from Windows to Mac is not difficult, but it can be a bit frustrating for a week or so. There are Windows features that you will miss, but they are mostly overcome by overall advantages in my opinion.
I've spent two weeks with this machine now. If I had written this review after one day, I would have p...

Macbook graduates to PRO status!
This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro MB991LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers) Well I must say I am very happy i did not buy apple's first iteration of the 13" aluminum macbook last year b/c they really got it right the second time around upgrading it to a macbook pro! Its nice to have that "pro" stamp on a 13" now! Apple has listened to their customers adding almost everything we have asked for and more, and managed to reduce the price! Thanks Apple!

What a great machine!
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I want to break this into TWO reviews. One about Mac in general (specifically OS X) and one about THIS computer.
Mac in general:
I was raised in a PC household. Dad worked with old-school technology in the 70s and 80s, and was serious about PCs. As a Linux / UNIX admin (and former Windows server admin), I am just used to working on PC gear. Since I can generally figure...

Apple's lightest full-featured notebook
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) There are lots of positives. First, the aluminum unibody design is both gorgeous and practical. The precision construction gives the whole unit a solid feel. Aluminum and glass won't wear out like the plastic on many other laptops. The silver matte finish with black keys looks classy as well.
Fingers glide easily over the large, glass trackpad. The trackpad also operates a...

Not sure why all of the haters keep griping about Compact Flash...
I just got my brand new 13.3" Macbook Pro in the mail. I customized mine with 4GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive, but with the entry-level 2.26 GHz Intel processor. I unboxed it in front of my mother and sister, and they were both oohing and aahing about how beautiful and thin it was. They also loved the magnetic connector on the end of the power adapter that snaps the power cord into the computer nearly by itself. I powered the computer up, went through the Leopard setup screens, and within min...

I'm finally off the fence!
This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro MB991LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers) I'm a long time PC user and had been in the market for a notebook the last few months. I wanted something light and powerful that I could take along with my dSLR and photography gear and to do some light post processing in the field.
When at home, I planned on hooking it up to an external display for more critical post processing work, so a 13-14" notebook was perfect for my nee...

The perfect notebook for my needs!
First of all, I want to say this is not a Mac vs. PC review. People can get a little crazy about their reviews and preferences, and I want to state that this is just that - a review. My decision to buy a Mac was a preference - there is not just one computer out there that is right for everyone. I also want to note that I upgraded to 4 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive.
Pros:
Absolutely amazing battery life (when I was trying to kill it for calibration, it lasted 5.5 hours - and i...

A True Pro Laptop
I purchased the Unibody MacBook in October, and I sold it just to get the new MacBook Pro. I have to agree that the new 13" MacBook Pro deserves the name "Pro" in it now. It has much better features, and this should have been the computer that the Unibody MacBook was back in October. Ever since Apple introduced the Unibody MacBook, many people complained about the loss of FireWire and the terrible screen quality. Fortunately, Apple responded to those complaints with the new 13" MacBook Pro. The ...
