    5 Stars The Happy Maccy Chappy 28/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages High speed, gorgeous, and easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price, operating temperature

    Before I begin, I warn you that I have a lot to say. I will try to be succinct (as always), but there's a very good chance I'll fail. For your information, I am writing this review on my shiny new Mac! I should also warn you that I have exams starting on May 28th, and it's now May 15th (though frankly this will take several days to write!). I really have no idea when I'll actually upload it - if it's now August, I do apologise! MacBook Pro (MBP) I've always had PCs, so I've never known anything other than Windows. In fact I've used everything from Windows 3.1 to Vista, but I've always been ... more

    5 Stars Mac > PC?... 27/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful design, packed with features, light up keyboard

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get quite hot

    After owning my previous PC for 10 years and performing countless "upgrades" it became bogged down and unable to process mundane tasks such as loading more than one program within the hour. It was then that I began the search for a new laptop as I wanted the flexibility of taking it wherever I went. I started my search in PC World and Tesco, however none of the laptops jumped out at me until I walked into my Local Apple Store... The first thing that struck me when I saw the MacBook Pro was just how well it was crafted and how pretty it looked. The case is made from brushed aluminium with the ... more

    5 Stars The simply brilliant MBP 09/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great design, innovative software, long battery life, bright screen, great value.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some slight compatibility issues but these are minor.

    Firstly, this has been my first adventure into the world of Macs. I've used Windows all my life, but decided to change after all the good things I'd been hearing, and I'm extremely glad that I have. This laptop is absolutely incredible! It's design is second to none - not only being stylish, but also incredibly functional (aluminium casing may seem 'just for show', but to be honest why make a laptop out of plastic, an insulator of heat? metal is a conductor so it's gets rid of it better!). The hardware is exceptional, being very fast and perfect for my needs. I have found my self diving into ... more

    4 Stars Late 2008 Macbook Pro 04/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large screen, backlit keyboard, aluminium casing, unibody

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive!

    This review is being written by my son as this particular mac 'baby' is his new toy. ( I have his old one!). I bought this macbook as a replacement for my 6 month old Black Macbook. Initially i was very impressed with the purchase. There is a marked improvement in functionailty over the standard macbook. The screen is a very nice size making it far more usable at a desk rather than on your lap. The battery life is very good when using the on board graphics adaptor (changeable via logout with the discrete graphics card), with about 4.5 hours with minimal usage. The basic underlying hardware is ... more

    5 Stars Ideal for photographers! 14/12/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic screen for working on images. Love the aluminum case.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gets hot. Lacks a slot for memory cards.

    This laptop revolutionized the way I run my photography business. Before I worked on a desktop PC which was quick and efficient, but I always thought I could work faster. I tried out a friends MacBook and was stunned. I found everything far more intuitive and this made tasks much quicker to complete. But enough about something so subjective. The matte screen is beautiful to view photographs on and retains it's calibration well. They keyboard is a delight to work at and the touchpad is sensitive enough to even do basic photo retouching. As other reviewers have noted, the casing does get very ... more

    5 Stars Sleak, Stylish and Sexy 23/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish and amazingly easy to use, and setup.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Just like all mac PC's some software doesn't work

    *WOW* Well obviously as you can see from the image, Apple have yet again invented something the public want. Its uniqueness is great and especially after the realease of the iPOD's - it only seems right that they brink out one of the PC's. In fact, i hear that apple are going to be bringing out a phone as well but these are just rumours but seriously what's stopping them going further? *SPECIFICATION* *Magnificent 15.4" or 17" widescreen display and you really couldnt ask for much more. *Up to a 120Giga Byte hard drive which is more than enough for storage space *Up to 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo ... more

I am writing this as if you were a friend talking over coffee. Personal Experience I have had pcs and laptops in the ... more

    5 Stars Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 DUe 19/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Most points are advantages, excellent laptop!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can be difficult with compatibility when dowloading, doesn't work with 4OD

    I would recommend this product to anybody looking for a laptop. It's very easy to use, even for somebody who would describe themselves as computer illiterate. It's suitable for both personal and professional uses and the small details such as the built-in camera and the iphoto application aswell as the remote that comes with it which can be used for power point presentations etc. make the Apple Macbook Pro stand out amongst other brands. It has bluetooth for easy connection with your mobile phone which can come in handy, regular update alerts which have been suprisingly useful. The safari ... more

    This is a POWERFUL SEXY STYLISH with great performance notebook. out of 10 I'd give it 11! the laptop has everything you need and have always wanted.
