The latest Intel processor, a bigger hard drive, plenty of memory, and even more new features all fit inside just one liberating inch. The MacBook Pro has the performance, power, and connectivity of a desktop computer. Without the desk part.

5 out of 5 stars 15" Laptop Apple MacBook Pro   July 18, 2008
Pacific (Rancho Palos Verdes, Ca. United States)
Excellent laptop. Our grandchildren were gifted this computer. It is great for family i-chats. They are learning so much about computers. Easy and no worries about viruses. Everyone is happy.


4 out of 5 stars pretty nice   July 12, 2008

i just bought this macbook pro online to replace my older powerbook which crashed. i am generally happy with the product. the screen is the biggest difference immediately, its flat screen pops out in comparison to my older powerbook. otherwise in an overall look it looks just like the powerbook..so i was a bit disappointed...was hoping there was some new styling from the few years apple has had to make design changes. its just when u upgrade to something u kinda want a new look..and this does not have that.

the overall working of the macbook is great. sound quality superb and i LOVE the isight addition. the clarity and sound are really great and i have been web chatting with family and friends who have also noticed the difference from the other seperate web cam i had before. so, a nice addition.

weight wise...still feels the same. battery heat wise still feels the same. keyboard still the same except for the new back lighting which senses when in darkness..so thats cool.

so, for a week of using, so far so good!

Simply put, glad I bought it. Very useful, fast, easy to use. Thankyou Mac, thankyou amazon for the tax free-ness. I really think this is the better value between the different options for macbook pro. I can't tell the difference between this and my room-mates who spent hundreds and hundreds more for the bigger screen and the bigger processor. (I kinda like the bigger screen but I'm still very happy I bought this one because of the much better deal)


5 out of 5 stars Excellent, but you probably do NOT want a glossy display   May 20, 2008

This review will be very short as it only concerns the choice of display. You have the option of buying a glossy or a standard display, and there is a big difference. The colors on the glossy display are outstanding and if your primary goal is to look are photographs, glossy may be your best choice. But glossy displays reflect light from the room, and many people (including me) get headaches if they use the notebook for a few hours in a well-lit room. In contrast, the macbook with the standard display has excellent color but the blacks are not as black and the whites are not quite as white. I have both, and vastly prefer the standard display when I have a lot of work to do. I will never get a glossy display again and unless you know what you are doing, I strongly recommend you avoid a glossy screen as well.


5 out of 5 stars Quick off the line, get the Speck Case for it   May 18, 2008

The MacBook Pro is a great investment at these prices. I upgraded from a Dell M1210 (with nVIDIA video) to this machine. Not looking back! It runs a 1vcpu Windows XP and 1vcpu Ubuntu VM in VMware Fusion with no problem.

Few things, get 4GB of ram and get the speck case.
