Summary: I am So VERY disappointed
Comment: I decided to step up my game and damage my pocket and purchase an Apple laptop and software. This is because people said this was the ideal if doing video production (and that is my dream). Since getting the thing and installing the software I have had problems. My imovie would not work...i kept having to force quit the programme...i took the laptop software etc to the Apple dealer in the Country and they reinstalled and charged me for this...took the laptop home and now the iphoto keeps hanging up. It seems i would have been better of not going the Apple route as I am yet to get ANY value for the money I paid.

Summary: Nice MAC!
Comment: What can I say...it's a MAC. There is nothing left to say! Best PC on the planet and you get such wonderful stuff with it. Yes, a little pricey but I would take this over a PC any day of the week or year! It is a solid performer and can always count on it not to crash like the PC's always do. So, I guess it is like to ole' saying..."You get what you pay for!"

Summary: Great but bummed about burn out pixel on lcd screen
Comment: I love my macbook pro except for the fact that I paid a ton of money for a new product that had a burn out pixel on the lcd screen. According to Amazon, they won't accept a return if only one pixel is burnt out. Nice how they don't tell you that up front. I paid for a fully functioning product, not one that has a defect no matter how small it is to them.
Apple products are well designed but not durable or of high quality materials. Reminds me of when I dropped my ipod from 2ft off the ground and it ceased to function.

Summary: Excellent Mac Laptop
Comment: This is a strong laptop in many ways. It has the hardware to cut through demanding applications, and even SOME 3d games, but this is NOT a gaming laptop despite the video card. The case itself is strong, and the screen is crystal clear and as bright as you want to make it (keyboard has birghtness adjust for the screen and the keyboard lights). The sound is the weakspot...the onboard speakers are typical laptop power...not so much!
The touchpad is smooth and accurate. When it comes to compatibility there are no issues with other Apple products, but software wise not everything works with mac AND windows. Do some reading on the Mac OS before buying!
Enjoy

Summary: Excellent, but Chinese
Comment: I've owned and have been programming on Macs since 1985. I've run through every laptop during those years and I must say that with the MacBook Pro 17" is amazing. The display is dazzling - clear and crisp enough to display HD images. The keyboard is actually a pleasure to use. The iPhone type tracking has immediately spoiled me. Even the speakers finally have enough volume. It's the best in breed.
Why not 5 stars then? Apple stuff is made in China with all the usual crap about "Well, we're different, we don't allow exploitation and brutality." and are shocked, shocked to learn that the workers are exploited and brutalized. It is all so clean until someone (see MacWorld UK or the Mail) reports in from China about the conditions of the factories and the exploitation of the workers.
I abhor the fact that Macs are made in a slave state. I think Apple should be made to advertise the fact more prominently in their hip adds: Perhaps have a 12-year-old undernourished Chinese girl to represent Macs just to let you know that this product is helping to perpetuate a brutal, genocidal regime. Maybe not so hip after all.
So, great design. Terrible company. I still write Mac programs, but not with the same smugness that used to come with the marque. The Apple programmers are amazing, creative, et. al: the engineering is consistently innovative if not always good. Too bad all this talent works for Jobs and the rest of the unenlightened thugs running Apple.
So, recommendation? Learn to love Linux, but you will still be hard pressed to buy or build a computer that is manufactured by an enlightened company. Good luck.

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.
