Apple MacBook Pro - 13.3" - Core 2 Duo - MacOS X 10.6 - 4 GB RAM - 250 GB HDD

One word: Amazing! I've always been slightly envious of Mac owners in the past, wishing I had enough money to afford one for myself. I've found that over the past 5 years, I've been buying a laptop every year! I sat and thought to myself, in the long-term over the next 5 years, I can carry on buying cheap, unreliable laptops, or I can invest in a decent, good quality laptop, and actually end up saving money, even though the initial investment is a lot more! Fortunately I am a student and Apple offers great student discounts of 15%, so I managed to get mine for about £900, including 3 years ... more

I recently bought myself a Macbook pro for general use around the house, for pleasure rather than anything else. Now I appreciate that apple has inflated prices due to the brand and everything that comes with them. But the MacBook is simply put the best notebook I have ever used!

I have had my mac now for a year and found it very reliable and a powerful computer. I bought it off Amazon for £850. Apple Mac have done well with this product and it takes a lot to compete with this product. Before i had non mac computer and it was slow and had a lot of viruses and problems. However, Safari on the mac is excellent and overcome 99.5% of viruses and there is no need to buy anti-virus for mac. However, there is mac anti-virus protection out there for a piece of mind. The roll pad takes a while to get use to but is just as effective as the mouse. If you like to double click and ... more
