Apple MacBook Pro Review

by Carla Thornton

- For people who appreciate finer laptop accoutrements such as a backlit keyboard and a slot-fed DVD drive, Apple has crafted another tasty offering in the form of the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Sleek, powerful, and able to run Windows as well as the Mac operating system, the MacBook Pro makes a strong case for becoming anyone's ultimate notebook.

Duration of ownership: 4 Months

Strengths: A superb light weight laptop that is pleasure to use. Very powerful, I run Crysis, Half life and Bio shock at great frame rates through boot camp. Fast, light, back lit keyboard is great for me, screen is fantastic I have two of these the same spec except one is glossy and the other matte.

Weaknesses: If anything that they did not introduce high res screen option previously my one other compliant is the region locking by the OS.

Overall Evaluation: This is now my 20th pro apple laptop I have been buying and upgrading al the way back from my 12, 15 and 17" Powerbooks right to my first 1.83MBP. I love the machines, I prefer them to my sony vaio, for ease of use and just sheer reliability. I have the 17" 2.6C2D, with HIgh Res 2 gigs of ram and a 720rpm 200gb hard drive and the machine just leaves my other laptops behind.
