Advantages: looks great. Works great Disadvantages: It is HOT - no, really it can get very hot sometimes
...that when you by an apple mac, you buy for style and ease of use and boy does this deliver, from the stunning simplistic design, to the magnetic charger the macbook is possible the most userfriendly laptop out there. And this is only the hardware - (not to mention the specs) - the software also packs a powerful punch. However there are two things to consider when considering this product: it is HOT - yes metaphorically - but I mean it does seem to ... ...in bed and rest it on the sheets. The other thing to look out for is for all its quality, the battery time leaves a little to be desired.
But doen't take the above 'faults' as too much of a huge thing beause I really had to think hard to come up with the 'other side' of the 'arguement' ...

Advantages: Powerful, quick learning curve, stunning design, Apple support are great Disadvantages: Runs hot, battery depletes fast after a year
My first Mac. I really didn't know anything about Macs except that I was ready for something new. I had been toying with Linux on a trusty IBM thinkpad for a while and eventually gave up, just not enough peripheral support back then. I had a couple of Sony Vaios lying around, but I was loathe to try and fix them - they had given me too much trouble already. I guess it was the look and feel of the Macbook Pro that was the seller for me. I knew nothing ... ...the build quality was like nothing I had ever owned before in a laptop. Anyway, I'm writing this on the same MBP over two years later. My productivity and creativity has increased dramatically. I love spending time on this machine and using and learning the superb software that's available. The OS is so fluid to navigate, though I did upgrade my RAM to 4GB. I'm hooked, and currently waiting for the 2009 MBP update so I can use this one as my second ...

Advantages: lightweight, long battery life, ready to go video editing, powerfull machine Disadvantages: Video card could be stronger, average speaker sound
I spent a very long time contemplating the move from PC to mac and since the transfer I haven't looked back. My main apprehension to buying the mac was the limited video card power in comparison to some of the leading PC Laptops. Everything else was equal or a plus on the mac side. Try and get to look at one before you buy online to judge whether you would prefer a matt or glossy screen. I bought a matt screen because I use the laptop for design ... ...lights. This machine is beautifully designed and weighs in at under half the weight of the desktop replacement laptops. If you are looking for a high spec gaming laptop I would say look elswhere, If you want a sleek laptop for graphics, video, editing, email and general word processing tasks, I really wouldn't look anywhere else. ...

Advantages: Reliable and powerful Disadvantages: None, (although some may find the price steep)
What can i say other than, WOW!!!! I am not a recent convert (6 years and counting), but this is the first laptop/computer that i have bought brand new, and i can say without a shadow of a doubt the best computer i have ever used. Being a mac user already, i was aware of the ease at which these computers can be used, but was shocked by the speed and precision that these new gens work at. From when you first turn the laptop on, every action is a logical ... ...do exactly what they say they will; the ronseal of the computer world! The included ilife is a godsend, i make everyday use of itunes, ical, iphoto and address book, and find the compatibility between these programs and external devices (specifically mobiles) is a dream. Havent lost a mobile phone i needed since i bought this laptop. In short, all i can say is that if you want a computer that is reliable, durable, will not be outdated in 2 weeks ...

...so I didn't realize that Apple has turned the glowing apple around. This is to make it show straight from the back when the screen is open. Because of it however, for the first few times I was trying to open the laptop from the wrong end. I like the straight apple on the back, so no complaints. When opening the screen I had to realize that there is a certain angle that you can't tilt the screen further. Basically you can't put the screen flat on ... ...will need to keep pressing Apple and + in Safari to get bigger fonts. Also, because of this very same issue, when designing for the web, font sizes need to be checked on a different monitor, because they may look small and sexy on the MacBook Pro, but will be slightly too big on an average screen. There is a very good reason why this machine is done from aluminum. There is a lot of heat that needs to be taken away from the inside of the machine. ...
