Had my Macbook Pro for 1 year 3 months and loved it from day one. My main reason I chose it was for the look, the ability to use both Mac and Windows, and the power I got for the price I paid. Mines identical to this laptop that I’m reviewing, but I have the 2GB ram.
So for starters..

The Power
To be honest, the more you pay generally the better your going to. Although, with the macbook pro you do get a little bit better for what you pay when comparing it to other laptops of other brands.

The Little things you might want to watch out for
Battery – my battery life started out at around 5hrs long when on lowest brightness and power save mode, but over time using it on battery occasionally (as a student we don’t really carry them around), its worn down to about 1.5hrs when on battery, and I’ve only had it a year and 3 months!! So the battery is a little bit iffy! But nothing that can’t be replaced with a large sum of money (apparently leaving the laptop plugged in and taking the battery out saves its life.. maybe I’ll keep that one in mind for the next one)
Heat – The laptop when not on power save settings, gets hot, when on high performance it roasts, just above the keyboard near the screen gets so hot i can barely hold a finger on it for more than 2 seconds (and I cook a lot, so my fingers aren’t exactly sensitive), although the huge speed increase does make up for the global warming contribution.
CD/DVD Drive – I don’t carry my laptop around a lot, and don’t use the CD/DVD drive a lot either, but mine has scratched, and a friends has done the same, and only reads specific DVD’s. This is a small consideration but apparently can be fixed easily.
USB Ports – The 2 ports are found on each side of the laptop, one on the right and one on the left. So for those of you who might be using hard drives that require a power cable also attached to the laptop (this might not happen as the macbook pro can power most things) you won’t be able to, as the cables wont stretch. But then again its helpful if you don’t want clutter, or you have a wireless mouse that doesn’t pick up well.
Magnetic – The surrounding of the laptop around the front/middle, and the back/left are magnetic so if you have metallic things they do tend to get sucked in every once in a while, but it’s not a problem.
Keyboard – typing is very simple. I admit it took a bit of time to get used to it because my old Dell required a bit of force to get the key down and manage to get a ‘C’ or ‘A’ on the screen, but the amount of force required on the macbook pro is minimal. Also the keyboard lights up for people who enjoy working at night or in the dark.

In my opinion the macbook pro is just simply wonderful. Its so simples to use and looks absolutely amazing with its wide screen, slim line look, and silver colour. Only thing to look out for is the battery (which can be avoided) and the heat produced, and maybe the CD/DVD drive too. If someone asked me what laptop to choose, i would definitely recommend macbook pro’s, if not the new one, it would be this!!
