dangerous [Posted on 2007-09-09]
This system is dangerous - you could start enjoying computing so much that you forget you are working. The attention to little details adds up to more than the sum of its parts. The keyboard is quiet, lights up, and feels good to use. The battery meter tells the truth and gives time remaining or left to charge, not some vague percentage. The system is not plagued by constant viruses and spyware. You can focus on getting your work done without the stressed out feeling of constantly battling your system or fearing that something will randomly blow up on you. While it takes some getting used to, the power user will discover that everything they need is there and they do not need to buy 10 other products to get the job done (all of which introduce performance and other problems). The bottom line is - at $200 a pop for a complete and stable OS on 5 systems, or $600 for unlimited server licenses, you save money on maintenance, filling in capability gaps, and grief counseling that you would spend on a PC. Parallels really does an excellent job running Windows if you need it. Unix is right there under the hood with robust, stable, well thought-out capabilities that do not compromise security or performance. You will enjoy it. Buy it. It isn't perfect, but you will appreciate the genuine quality and be glad you did.
Great Service and Item [Posted on 2007-12-26]
Very Good Quality and I love the mac. Much better than a PC. Great item and service.
Item received other than ordered [Posted on 2008-02-14]
The Apple MacBook Pro was advertised as refurbished and with Microsoft Office. It did not contain Microsoft Office and had to be taken to an Apple service center to be repaired. I returned it for credit two weeks ago and have not heard from Amazon.
The best portable on the market [Posted on 2008-02-22]
I've owned 11 Macs over the last 7 years, most of which I bought for family members. 4 of them have been my primary computers. During this time I've also used several Windows based PCs, as I work in a Windows only business. It is great to have a Mac that also does the work stuff. I haven't yet been able to find anything I don't like about this notebook, which is something I cannot say for any other computer I've ever owned (Mac included).
Here are the biggest pluses I can think of at the moment:
-Beautiful 17" widescreen with a resolution that is perfect for the size
-Leopard OS is simply beautiful and the easiest OS to use in the universe
-Plenty of Hard Drive space
-Plenty of RAM
-Fast processor, good video card
-802.11a/b/g/n
-HUGE trackpad (great for photo editing or network engineering layouts)
-Backlit keyboard makes typing in the dark a pleasure
-Less than one inch thin
-iSight built-in is perfect for my travels ... I can always see my wife and son (my wife has a MBP 15")
-Office 2008 is every bit as good as Office 2007 for Windows
-Spotlight, spotlight, spotlight! If you don't know what this is, Google it! :)
-Expose
-iWork 08 is nearly a replacement for Office 2008
-Scrolling built-in to trackpad
That's about it for now. I hope this has been helpful. This is the most perfect notebook I've used to date.
A great buy! [Posted on 2008-03-29]
Am I ever glad I purchased this Macbook Pro from the Macbook Pro series. I was pretty well pleased, right off the bat. My main input is the speed of this baby & the Core 2 Duo makes everything run efficiently. no crashes. Beautiful display, a cinch to use and runs all good Multimedia programs well. You may have to upgrade to a 200GB drive. The only problem I would flaw with consideration of the higher Mac price is battery life.. it does lag a tiny bit. Other than that it uses energy efficiently, is great, and runs that wonderous Leopard OS amazing.
